This week, Nutrisystem has taught me that I need to treat myself better. The mental image I have of myself, my mantra, my “me-time” they all play a major role in my weight loss. I have been in sort of a “funk” for a few weeks now and my results show it. I have done well with my foods, water, and exercises yet my weight loss results have significantly slowed. I continue to believe in the program and know that eventually I will see results on the scale.
This week, my measurements showed a loss of .5 in my upper arms, .5 in chest, .5 in waist, .5 in my hips, 0 in my thighs, a weekly total of 2 inches and an overall total of 15.5 inches. I am not sure if I lost any pounds this week because my scale died….well, I think it died. I stood on it and it told me one weight, then I stepped off and back on, and had gained 5 pounds. So, I will be investing in a new scale.
I am down a complete clothing and undergarment size. I can see my face slimming too. I have had a few people comment telling me that they can also see the changes.
Next week I am going to focus on improving my outlook. I am reading the lessons in the Nutrisystem Mindset Makeover and will complete all of the activities.
I am in the mood for comfort food. I think Nutrisystem’s Cream Cheese Filled Pumpkin Muffins will be a perfect breakfast treat.
Ingredients
2 tsp. Pumpkin pie spice
1/2tspSalt
1 tbsp. Ideal brown sugar substitute
1/4cupEgg Beaters
1 tbsp. Fat free cream cheese, per muffin
1 pkg. Nutrisystem Pancake Mix
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1/2tspGinger
1/2tspBaking soda
1/2tspCinnamon
1/2cupPumpkin puree
Directions
1. Mix the dry ingredients.
2. Mix the wet ingredients.
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
4. Fill 3 muffin cups with about 1/4 cup each of the batter. Place 1 Tbsp. fat free cream cheese in the middle of each muffin and press down gently. Top with the remaining batter.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15-20 minutes until the top is firm and springy.
6. Let the muffins cool for at least 10 minutes (the cream cheese remains hot for a long time).
Chef’s notes- This recipe makes 3 good sized muffins and is quite filling. If you want them to taste like the ones sold by a major coffee shop chain, be sure to add a pinch of cardamom powder.

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
