Diet Day 223 Breakfast

No gym today so I spent a few extra minutes on breakfast.  I scrambled an egg, sliced half of a small banana and toasted a half of a light whole wheat muffin.  I slopped a small amount of butter on the muffin.

Diet Day 223 Morning Snack

I snacked on about 6 small raw almonds, 2 slices of Toscano salami and one stick of low fat string cheese.  I took a walk into town but less than 2 miles.  Hopefully I walked off that snack and some breakfast.

Diet Day 223 Lunch

I had some leftover steak from dinner last night.  I sliced a few thin slices.  I placed the steak on a slice of Dave's Killer skinny bread coated with a light slathering of mayonnaise.  I sprinkled all the above with some kosher salt and pepper.

It was not much to look at but it filled the void in my stomach.  I guess I could have flopped a lettuce leaf on the bread but, oh well.

Diet Day 223 Afternoon Snack

I had another half ounce (about 2 slices) of Toscano salami.  It's just so handy.

Diet Day 223 Dinner

I rescued a Nutrisystem Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast from the freezer.  I heated that and served the last of my Italian Heirloom Broccoli, sauteed with some garlic.  I prepped a field greens salad with my usual balsamic, olive oil and kosher salt.  I sprinkled some raw sunflower seeds atop the salad for good measure.

Diet Day 223 Dessert/Snack

About an hour after dinner I gave in to my desires for something sweet.  I opened a bag of Nutrisystem Chocolate Sandwich Cookies and ate one and 1/2 cookies.

Diet Day 223 Wrap Up

Close but no cigar!  I was about 2k steps short of my goal.  My calories were low to moderate.  I'm concerned that doing a diet on my own is not as good as the Nutrisystem regime.  This remains to be seen.  I'll be checking back in tomorrow.
