Elk season is over and the off season has begun. After countless hills, trails and canyons it's time to start planning for next season, and thinking about what worked and what to change.
There are several things I will change, but the number one thing on my list is to drop a considerable amount of weight. I have been slogging steep hills while carrying a lot of extra pounds for too long.
At the beginning of September I decided to start a diet. I have tried to lose weight several times, but have found that sticking to a healthy eating plan is difficult for me. I don't seem to have any control of my eating habits. This all changed when I ordered the Nutri-System Diet Plan.
Before and After
It's hard to argue with success, and these pictures show results. The author lost 31 lbs in less than six months with Nutri-Systems. |
The first thing that caught my attention about Nutri-System was the convenience of having my meals automatically shipped each month. Once the first shipment was ordered, I would have to cancel any further shipments if I wanted to stop the diet. Having a box with 28 breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts show up on my doorstep each month is a great motivation to keep at it.
I have also found that I hate diet food that tastes bad. When I think about it, who doesn't? Nothing can be as good as home made, but as far as prepared food is concerned, this stuff is really good. It didn't seem like much at first, but after reading about all of the vegetables, salad, brown rice and other stuff I could add to my meals I understood that I wasn't going to starve.
Variety was also a concern. A lot of diets limit the type of food so much that there is no variety. It's hard to stick to a mundane meal plan. Nutri-System has a wide variety of food that allows you to change my menu every month. If I find an entree I don't like, I can change it the next month. It's a lot easier to stick to a diet of food I like.
Most diets are hard to get back on after a period of time away from them. I was afraid I would go through the holidays and gain back a lot of the weight I lost. When I came home from the family Christmas and the holiday food I was able to get right back on the diet because I had a cupboard full of Nutri-System entrees waiting for me. In fact, I ended up losing two pounds over the holidays.
After many years of weighing way too much I am seeing the bottom side of 250 pounds again. Since September I have lost 31 pounds. I have 39 more to go to reach my 70 pound goal, but don't see any reason I won't make it. The Nutri-System diet has given me the tools and confidence I need to lead a healthier life and pound the hills a lot harder during the 2007 elk season.
