Welcome back, everyone. We are halfway through the workweek, and I am officially ten weeks into my NutriSense program. My name is Logan, and I am the Content Manager here at NutriSense. For the last ten weeks, I have been using the CGM [Continuous Glucose Monitor] with the NutriSense app and working with our team of dieticians that consult with anyone using our program. If you are reading this without the context of the last ten weeks, I encourage you to go back and read from Week 1. I have had so many changes since then and met the goals that I set at the beginning.
The last two months have been all about establishing new habits and a new routine, then integrating those new habits and routines into my daily and long-term schedules. I feel like I have legitimately transformed my mindset. Not only have I managed to create new habits and a new lifestyle in the last ten weeks, but I have also realized and understood that all of these changes have been easily integrated into “everyday” social situations and holiday traditions. This was very important to me. I didn’t want to change my habits around my food and exercise, but change them to fit my life.
I have continued to steadily lose weight [which is one of my most important goals]. This last week I lost two pounds. I’m now down to 234lbs! I am back to following my 4X a week Peloton exercise program. This week I burned 1500kCals on my bike and worked out for 40 straight minutes on Friday. I wouldn’t have been able to work out for that long without taking a break when I started this program. It was inspiring, and I am feeling very confident this week. I continue to shop and make meals using Mealime and am back into my kitchen after my move last week.
Moving forward, I will start to experiment and change things up now that I have discovered what my body and glucose levels react well or poorly with. I had a great conversation with Carlee [the NutriSense dietician I have been working with] about how I can begin to experiment and refine my diet and exercise to continue improving my glucose levels and general wellness. Carlee gave me a list of eight different experiments we can begin to try. I chose three of them to start next week. If you want to hear the whole list, check out the link to this week’s video at the bottom of the page.
Throughout the last ten weeks, I have experimented with four things already ]You can find the details in past posts]:
Beginning next week, Carlee and I are going to implement three new experiments into my program:
I’m so excited to begin refining everything I have learned about my body, diet, and exercise over the next couple of weeks. If these experiments go well, I will try to integrate even more of the suggestions Carlee gave me. I’ve included my data from my meals and exercise below. Please note that this week was a CGM change week, so there will be two days of data missing between taking one off and putting the other one on.
Check out this week’s data:
Nothing logged
I had a chicken sandwich and fries for lunch and Thai fried rice and chicken for dinner.
I made chicken with rice and vegetables for lunch and cooked Thai fried rice with chicken for dinner.
I made grilled chicken with pumpkin pasta for lunch and chicken with rice and vegetables for dinner.
I heated some leftover chicken and pumpkin pasta for lunch and made salmon with rice and yogurt for dinner.
I had a chicken sandwich with fries for lunch. After lunch, I removed my CGM to reset and apply the new one in a couple of days.
No CGM on.
No CGM on.
I’m feeling so good this week. I realize that keeping my calorie count under 2,000Kcals has become very easy, and I have reached a level of physical fitness that I haven’t had in years. I’m so happy that I am entering the experimental stage and have made it to that point in so little time. Check out the video link below for the complete list of suggestions that Carlee gave me to experiment with. Maybe you’ll find one that you want to try!
