Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Last week, my family and I took a trip across the US. We live in Oregon and my husband’s extended family lives in Maryland. We decided to take a trip to spend time with family as well as do some sightseeing…OK, a lot of sight seeing. While in Maryland, we visited Black Hill Regional Park. This park is on land that once belonged to my husband’s grandfather. His grandfather also had a hand in creating the Walkersville Southern Railroad. We were able to take a train ride with the entire family. We took a day trip to Washington D.C. We visited the National Mall and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. We wanted to visit the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, but it was too packed with school field trips. On another day trip, we went to Pennsylvania.  We drove around Gettysburg and then went to Hershey’s Chocolate World. We had so much fun on our trip. It was wonderful to be able to spend time with family!

While we were away, I did not eat my Nutrisystem meals. Instead, I practiced using the skills Nutrisystem has taught me about making healthy choices. I think I did pretty well with my breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices. (We were so busy, I wasn’t able to regularly eat my snacks.) My mom was also on the trip with us. It helped to have her there for support…remember, she too is on Nutrisystem. Our hotel had a gym. We took advantage of it and were able to get in some exercise. We also had an agreement to take the stairs up/down from our third-floor room whenever possible. Overall, I think we did great making healthy decisions.

Update time! As of last week, I have been on Nutrisystem for eight months. Durning that time, I have lost 30 pounds and 54 inches. My body is more defined and toned. My skin has cleared up. My knees and back don’t ache nearly as much as they used to. I am also sleeping much better.

I have 20 pounds until I reach my goal weight. My plan is to continue using Nutrisystem until I reach my goal. At that point, I will I reevaluate. I want to see how I feel. If I feel like I need to continue, I will. If not, I will go into maintenance mode.

I am pleased with how far I have come. I excited to be on this journey and working towards my goals. Thank you, Nutrisystem!

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.
