Nutrisystem Turbo 10 Week #3 Spice it up! {A Review}

Nutrisystem Turbo 10 Week #3 Spice it up! 
{A Review}
I was given the Nutrisystem Program for 3 months in exchange for my review and posts but like always the opinions and posts are all my own.


I have been back home from vacation and besides one Las Vegas buffet in the 3rd week- I have been able to cook my own veggies...and lost of veggies.  I have been eating sautéed yellow quash and zucchini, roasted peppers and onions, asparagus, cucumber sticks, mini carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli this week. I have also been added chiles to my meals. Jalapeños on my sandwiches- sautéed peppers with my eggs and a lot of spice to my foods. I have made sure that I have gotten 4-6 serving of veggies each day and I love that part of the Nutrisystem Turbo 10 Program. It has helped me to try new vegetables and ways to prepare them- especially with the peppers and spice.



The desserts are really good and knowing that I get something sweet at the end of the day is helpful motivation during the day when you know those coworkers arrive with donuts.  It really isn't so difficult when I have so many chocolate options, ice cream options, and warm apple pie options- the dessert list is long- check it all out at Nutrisystem.com

So yep! this post is all about chiles, veggies and desserts - three things that have really helped me keep going without any hunger and without deviating from the plan.

Down 2.2 more pounds. Total lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks. 228 to 219!

Nutrisystem Turbo 10 Week #2 {A Review}

I was given the Nutrisystem Program for 3 months in exchange for my review and posts but like always the opinions and posts are all my own.

If you read my first week review of Nutrisystem Turbo 10 you know I was successful and also a bit hungry at the beginning. See all the details HERE. This week, I continued to be successful but not hungry at all this time around.

There is a great option after week one that allows for flex meals- they are basically nutritious meals you create yourself with power fuels- proteins and smartcarbs- carbs ;) Nutrisystem provides you lots of ideas. This allowed me to eat out a few times on vacation- and yes I even had some ice cream and Ghirardelli chocolate at the factory and store in San Francisco. All of week 2 was on vacation so it was a test for sure.

I loaded up all my meals with lots of veggies and if we ate in a restaurant I would order steamed veggies to still go out and enjoy that time with the family on vacation. We were a group of 8 traveling and everybody else was content with eating giant calorie-full items but I din't miss them at all. I was really surprised but I did not want them even one bit.

I did take along many of the easy bars and shakes and at the end of the week I was a bit scared to get on the scale but I did lose 1.4 lbs - so my current loss is a total of 6.8 pounds in two weeks! I am down from 228 to 221.2  and feel great!

Nutrisystem Turbo 10 Week #1 Review


I was given the Nutrisystem Program for 3 months in exchange for my review and posts but like always the opinions and posts are all my own.
Nutrisystem Turbo 10  Week #1 Review

The first week was simple to follow- no guessing about portion size or anything and it really jump started my journey with notable results! The first week of food is clearly labeled in a box and includes some yummy shakes and on the go snacks.  The first day was a bit difficult for me and I am not going to lie - I felt hungry. My portions sizes were drastically different from my usual gigantic unhealthy ones and I couldn't wait for my next snack or shake.  By the second day, it was much better and I added in a lot more fresh veggies.
By the end of the week, I was feeling great. Two of the days we were on a road trip but the non-frozen items were easy to take a long and I even stopped at gas stations and made my shakes- it really was an easy on the go way to work on getting healthier. The snacks and breakfast bars went everywhere with me - even on our 5 hour helicopter journey! Nutrisystem Turbo 10 is working for me and even on my travel blogging journeys.

I noticed that my face was looking thinner even after the first week and when I stepped on the scale I had lost 5.4 pounds!

I cannot wait to share week #2 with you because I got to start adding in more foods and was traveling, so we will see how that goes.

My Nutrisystem Journey Begins Now

I was given the Nutrisystem Program for 3 months in exchange for my review and posts but like always the opinions and posts are all my own.


I am so excited to begin my Nutrisystem weight loss journey!  I have been very overweight on and off for a long time but haven't been able to lose very week since having children. My first beautiful baby was born10 years ago, so there is no excuse for baby weight any more when you have a tween in the house.

I like to exercise but I also snack on foods that my kids and hubby eat- which I should not be eating. Refried beans with lard on flour tortillas are not exactly going to help me lose the inches. Sometimes, I might just finish the mac and cheese too. 

As a busy mom and teacher, finding healthy options on the go isn't always easy. After receiving my fist shipment of Nutrisystem Turbo TakeOff that looks like it will no longer be a problem. Easy packaged on the go items to take with me are making this super easy. 

I also love that I will be adding fresh vegetables and fruit along the way so I can easily incorporate those items into my family's meals. There are recipes to make steamed vegetables tasty with condiments and I will be using my weekly produce price match list HERE to shop for those additional fresh and nutritious items.

Follow along with me on my progress weekly as my goal is to be healthier than when I started; whether that be pounds, inches, energy or hopefully all 3. I am starting at a weight of 226 and will let you know every week where I am at.
