Diet Day 247 Breakfast

I really notice I'm hungry when I wake up in the morning.  I love morning coffee but I don't like to wait more than an hour before I eat.  I finally ate a Nutrisystem Cinnamon Raisin Baked Bar with my 2nd cup of coffee.  Later I walked to town to the farmer's market and purchased some fresh produce so I can have a little more to eat other than the daily pre-made foods.

Diet Day 247 Morning Snack

After I got back from my walk and did another errand I frothed my now-daily Nutrisystem TurboShake (chocolate).  It's nice to have this because otherwise I'd be pretty hungry even before lunch time comes around.  I think today I'll have an interim salad or other vegetable snack.

A Note About The Difference Between This Program 1st Week and the Last 1st Week

I looked back at the first few days of my "boot camp week".  In the Turbo10 plan they had you drink 2 protein drinks a day, one as you morning snack, one as your afternoon snack.  That seemed to be a lot more filling than the meal replacement bar they offer this time.  I guess that's worthy of some feedback to Nutrisystem. 

Diet Day 247 Lunch

Before lunch I took another walk down to the grocery store (which is pretty close).  I browsed around for "no calorie salad dressing".  I didn't find even one but glad I didn't.  I can only imagine the ingredients.  I'll continue on my own for salad dressing for the week. 

I only have 2 more Nutrisystem lunch meals that are not just "meal replacement bars".  They must have changed this for a reason.  All I can think of is that feedback suggests to them that people like the bars over the other foods.  With that in mind I'm having a simple field greens salad for lunch with some kosher salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar, no oil.   After I had another cup of coffee and a Nutrisystem Fudge Graham Bar. The bar tasted pretty good but still has that granular, dried bug, texture.

Diet Day 247 Afternoon Snack

I had my usual NutriCrush Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar for my snack.

Diet Day 247 Dinner

I'm already noticing that by adding the vegetables I'm a lot less hungry. I prepped another salad for dinner.  This time I used 1 tablespoon of the BoltHouse Greek Yogurt blue cheese dressing (2 tablespoons = 35 calories).  I can't imagine 17 calories is going to make or break a diet.  I also heated a Nutrisystem Chicken Alfredo dinner.  These don't have a lot of flavor.  I tried adding a dusting of nutmeg and a couple pinches of hot chile flakes. 

Diet Day 247 Dessert/Snack

I've not been good about drinking water today so I'm trying to catch up.  Based on that I'm too full for even a vegetable snack.

Diet Day 247 Wrap Up

I'm getting into the swing of things with this boot camp redo.  I got all my steps in plus 2k.  Tomorrow is gym day.  Hope you all had a good weekend.  See you tomorrow.
