Diet Day 53 Breakfast

I have an early appointment so once again breakfast is hurried.  I beginning to think I'm  just always in a hurry.  I'll have to give that some thought.  Meanwhile I tossed my Nutrisystem Buttermilk Waffles in the mini convection/toaster oven.  I nosed around the refrigerator and found a left over piece of pork chop from the other night.  I weighed it, 1.1 ounce so I sliced it and added to my plate.  I squirted about a 1/2" blob of Entube Harrisa paste on the plate to use as a dip for the pork.

I heated some Vermont Maple sugar free syrup and poured a little over my waffles.  There you have it, breakfast.

Diet Day 53 Morning Snack

I returned from my appointment and it was about time for a snack.  I still had to write my blog for Day 52 so I grabbed 1 stick of Mozzarella String cheese and munched on that while I typed.

Diet Day 53 Lunch

With yesterday's blog written and proofed (well as best I ever do myself) it was lunch time.   I dug thought my seemingly endless pile of melts and pulled out a Nutrisystem Chicken and Mozzarella Melt.  I've had this before and it's just OK.  They all taste pretty similar or at least all the ones that contain a red sauce.  The wrap part is seeming dryer these days.   I do eat it all though because I don't want to get hungry.  It's not as though it's offensive or inedible just not wonderful.

I added a few salad greens tossed with my usual olive oil and Balsamic vinegar and a few tomato slices.

Diet Day 53 Afternoon Snack

I took a walk after lunch.  For a snack I just had a few pieces of celery with some hummus that I kicked up with my Entube Harrisa chile paste. 

Diet Day 53 Dinner

Tonight I dined on more Nutrisystem Stuffed Shells with a salad of field greens with more olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This dish is surprisingly filling.  I didn't get very creative with my salad but at least I ate one.  I really do love salads I just don't always care for all the slicing and dicing involved in making a really good one. 

Diet Day 53 Dessert/Snack

I treated myself to a nice walk after dinner so I was able to get close to my 11K goal finishing up at 10,299 steps for the day.  I'm still trying to lay low on exercise until my back makes a full recovery.  My treat for being so good was the Nutrisystem Chocolate Brownie Sundae.  It's funny but I find the "brownie bits" disturbing.  I just don't care for that texture in the otherwise silky-smooth chocolate ice cream.  Just personal preference of course I'm sure many people love it, bits and all.

Diet Day 53 Wrap Up

The verdict from the specialist regarding my back was good.  I can go back to working out "gently" letting my body be my guide; "if it  hurts don't do it".  I look forward to getting back in the swing of things.  I didn't do anything too exciting food wise today but I remained well-fed.  Hoping my scale has some better news tomorrow.  I let you know when I know.  Have a good one!
