I’ve been talking about how modifying the Nutrisystem entrees, thanks to the NS Recipe Center, has been helping me get back on track the past few weeks. I realized though, that will all this talk about making new dishes, I never really mentioned the foods that I like, just on their own. Part of the [...]
Okay - maybe that’s a little extreme. I just didn’t get any news I really wanted to hear. A couple of weeks ago, I met with a new PCOS doctor in Philly, hoping to get a better answer than “the most dangerous thing you can do to a baby is be as fat as you [...]
I had a conversation with my awesome Nutrisystem rep this week about some of the struggles I’m facing with sticking to the diet. Part of the NSNation program is being honest with you guys when I’m not following the diet 100%, that way my reviews paint an accurate picture of the program and the weight [...]
Since Ben finally caught the stomach bug I had last week, I spent a lot of time in the car yesterday, running to pick up Ginger Ale and doing the errands he should’ve been doing if he wasn’t camped out on the couch. On one of my errand runs, I heard something on the radio [...]
I had to use my old wheelchair one day this week, so that my primary one could have a part replaced. I hate the old chair. It’s uncomfortable, too short, and too cumbersome to move around the house in. It amazes me, every time I’m forced to use it as backup mobility, that I put [...]
One of the big reasons my weight loss came to a screeching halt the past few weeks was because I was struggling to drink enough water. Even with the 32 oz bottle that Nutrisystem includes in your order to help you keep track of your water intake, it just seemed to fall to the wayside. Why is drinking [...]
For the past few weeks, I’ve been following a new routine at bedtime: I shut down my computer, take my medications, and then hop into bed with an eye mask and headphones. No, this process isn’t to help me tune out the sound of Ben’s snoring (although it does help). Thanks to the wonderful people at [...]
A couple of weeks ago, we got a letter from Ben’s insurance, saying they’ve approved the pre-authorization request for the genetic testing to find out if he’s a carrier for LGMD. The prescription for the blood work showed up about a week later. At that point, it hit me that this is really happening. We’re [...]
This week is National Infertility Awareness week. I’ve wanted to pretend that I didn’t notice. (Which is sort of amusing, considering the theme for this year is “Don’t Ignore Infertility.) I read the heartbreaking stories, the hopeful stories, and the in-between. Most of the time, instead of offering words of encouragement, I closed my eyes [...]
Now that the weather is warming up, I’ve found myself craving picnic foods like crazy. One of my favorite picnic foods is pasta salad: it has a long fridge life and just gets better the longer it sits. And when I’m too lazy it’s too hot to actually cook something, pasta salad is a meal [...]
