Like most people, I try to stay relatively healthy and balanced in my day-to-day life. That means regular gym sessions with just as many dinners out paired with homemade desserts. After all, it is all about balance! But recently, I decided to get a bit more serious about my workouts and eating regimen, and enlisted the help of Nutrisystem, an easy-to-follow weight loss plan that delivers perfectly-portioned meals right to your doorstep.
Unlike most diets, the company takes the stress and guesswork out of meal planning and counting calories. You'll instead focus on the delicious food — like Buttermilk Waffles for breakfast, Hamburgers for lunch and Margherita Pizza for dinner. Aside from catering to your taste buds, Nutrisystem's plans are designed by experts who want to offer the safest, most effective method for dropping pounds. The program can help you lose up to 13 pounds in your first month.*
I quickly realized why thousands of people rely on Nutrisystem for weight loss results. Within a couple of weeks, my clothes fit better, and I felt less bloated. And that was without even stepping on the scale yet!
To my surprise, the program didn't only better my eating habits, it jump started my desire to get more active, too. I typically enjoy intense, upbeat workouts, like HIIT or zumba, but never enjoyed running. In an effort to exercise more, I accompanied a friend to a yoga class. I was hesitant at first, thinking it wouldn't be a "good enough" sweat session, but it opened me up to a whole new world of fitness. I quickly learned how challenging a yoga class could be — like holding plank, focusing on breathing and staying in the right frame of mind to meditate.
I also became much more understanding about the connection between my body and mind. I don't think I would have been able to start doing yoga if it wasn't for Nutrisystem. I felt better about my body, and I felt confident that I could take on the new workout thanks to my high energy levels. Before Nutrisystem, I felt tired and uninspired to complete workouts. But now, I feel lighter and yoga has given me a new and exciting way to exercise. It's not only about weight loss — it's about finding the lifestyle that works for you. And in this case, yoga was exactly what I needed.
I now practice four to five times per week, and I am considered a "yogi" by all my friends. Best of all, I have achieved two important goals—becoming more active and leading a healthier lifestyle.
*In a study, avg weight loss was 11.6 lbs.
