During this week of our Nutrisystem journey, I had a loss of .4 pounds while Jai had a loss of .2 pounds. My weight had been 136 pounds on Friday, but I think the bottle of wine I bought that night may have added the extra .4. 😉 But a loss is a loss is a loss and we are both happy. Jai has been doing an awesome job of going for consistent jogs through the week, while my working out last week was a lot more sporadic. I’ve been feeling really wiped out and not well from a lack of sleep, and I’m trying to get back on a better schedule – I can definitely feel the difference when I’m less active, because it impacts my energy and overall feeling of health. I did try to take the evenings to relax a bit over this weekend, but it’s been hard to get to sleep even when I’m not working super late because your body gets all thrown out of whack. But it’s all about course correction and adjusting. I’m trying to balance my career with the whole rest of my life, including health, and I don’t really know how to not be a workaholic – like I said to Jai yesterday, I’ve been “Me” for 30 years, and I don’t know how to be anyone else, so the changes I need to make for my well-being are not always intuitive to me at all. But I’m working on it and I’m taking much better care of myself than I was a year ago!

We’re so glad to be on Nutrisystem and have one less thing to stress about – not having to worry about making food frees me up to work on all of these other core reasons behind my sometimes-poor health, which is what has made the longterm change for me.
