Third week on NutriSystem and I’m REALLY into a great routine. I don’t think I’ve ever had a diet and exercise routine I’ve ever stuck to till now so even I am amazed at myself! So here’s how my routine looks like:
Saturdays: I hate the house being dirty so if necessary, this is the day I do my laundry, vacuuming, etc. Because I have more energy now, I find that I can finish this now in the morning. In the afternoon, I and a ‘running body’ go to a park near her place and run a few rounds. Normally we have dinner ‘out’. By this I mean eating out with friends at some other place but I always have my NutriSystem meals with me.
Sunday: REST. And I make my grocery list. I prefer doing this after lunch so I don’t list down any ‘guilt foods’ and make a silent commitment to STICK to the list when shopping. I make the list so that it compliments my NutriSystem meals perfectly for the coming week. After making the list, I shop already. I prefer Sunday afternoon because it’s leisurely. Also, weekdays, I come from work so I don’t want to make impulse buys as a result of me feeling tired or hungry from work.
Monday: Work. Stop at the gym. Home.
Tuesdays: Work. Home.
Wednesdays: Work. Home. Do some yoga (I got a great DVD about this.)
Thursdays: Work. Stop at the gym (focus more on weight training). Home.
Fridays: Work. Pilates or Yoga. Home. (nothing super strenuous because I run the next day)
Of course, through each day, I’m supplemented by NutriSystem meals and fruits and veggies I bought to complement them. I must say, there’s a Zen type of feeling with this routine. Knowing what I need to do and when and why… it suits me.
