And I'm back where I was weight wise despite my lack of steps yesterday.  It pays to stay calm.

Diet Day 81 Breakfast

For some reason I just could not face another carb-laden Nutrisystem breakfast today so I went rogue and made my own.  I scrambled eggs with a little ham and green onion. Then I served with a slice of Dave's Killer Powerseed skinny bread.  The portions in the pan show are for 2.  My plate shows my single serving.  It hit the spot and was a nice divergence from all the muffins and waffles and so on.

Diet Day 81 Morning Snack

I waited a little too long to take my pile of morning vitamins so my stomach was a little too empty.  That makes my stomach not happy.  I had a half of a cup of Fage 2% yogurt and that helped. 

Later I hopped on the treadmill a couple of times and racked up about 2k steps.  About 40 minutes later I had one other slice of the skinny ham then took off for a walk to town and back.  That kicked my steps up to about 7K.

Diet Day 81 Lunch

Even though I didn't dislike the taste of this entree it's really difficult to look at.  That is the Nutrisystem Sweet BBQ Sauce with Pulled-Style Pork.  I dutifully heated it up, plopped it atop of some Dave's Killer bread and served it with yet another field greens salad.  I really loaded up my greens with baby kale and baby arugula so the salad is high in minerals and very flavorful.

Diet Day 81 Afternoon Snack

It's not time for my snack as I type and I have to leave for an appointment.  After my appointment I have to go vote.  Thank heavens it's right up the street.  Shouldn't take me too long.  I don't think this snack is going to happen.

Diet Day 81 Dinner

I had an unexpected dinner out last night.  After voting we stopped in one of our favorite spots for "appetizers".  We shared our usual charcuterie plate and some blistered shishito peppers.  I estimated calories because I couldn't "weigh" how much I ate.  That would be a site in a restaurant, me there with my scale, haha!

Diet Day 81 Dessert/Snack

I felt like I ate conservatively so why begrudge myself a little dessert? I nurtured myself with a Nutrisystem Chocolate Cupcake.  It was a perfect treat for election night.

Diet Day 81 Wrap Up

Well, the best laid plans of mice and men.  I ended up with an unplanned flex meal.  I'm sure this is Nutrisystem plan no-no but that's way things go. Those peppers were wonderful. Once again I'm low on steps because I never made it out for another walk.  Blame on having to vote haha!   Tomorrow we'll have a new President; it will be a new day.  See  you then!
