Fresh Start Day 10 Breakfast

Went down another .1 lb, not a lot but hey, still the right direction! I felt decent this morning and the Nutrisystem Cinnamon Roll with coffee and a scrambled egg (with scallions) sounded pretty good. After whipping up breakfast I headed out for a walk to the farmer's market.  I had more enthusiasm than energy haha!  Nevertheless I I made it there, not far, .7 miles (each way) and purchased my favorite field greens and a dozen brown eggs.  I felt like I was dragging myself back but made it back alive!  I had some ice water and eventually another cup of fresh coffee.

Fresh Start Day 10 Morning Snack

I was in a protein mood.  I had some Canadian bacon so I slid 3 slices on my plate along with 1/4 of a 1/2 of cucumber.  It was nicely filling.

Fresh Start Day 10 Lunch

For whatever reason I ordered quite a few Nutrisystem Hamburgers.  Because of that I heated one and served it with a teaspoon of ketchup and a teaspoon of mustard.  I also whipped up a quick field greens salad with a little bit of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Fresh Start Day 10 Afternoon Snack

I'm out of cottage cheese so I served 1/2 of a small banana with a little 2% Greek yogurt.  For whatever reason I don't care for this combination.  There is something about the sweet banana and the tart yogurt.  It nevertheless it the spot.

Fresh Start Day 10 Dinner

I headed out for a walk before dinner.  It was actually hot today 80F which made my walk a little harder given I was pretty low energy to begin with.  I surprised when I got back to learn I had 9000 steps now.  I'll have to get another walk in to hit 10k.  When I got back it was dinner time.  Tonight is a Flex Meal.  If you're a Nutrisystem regular you know what a flex meal is.  If not, it's a meal using Nutrisystem standards but with your own foods.  So, 2 power fuels (lean protein) and 1 smart carb.  I had 4 ounces of grilled lean top sirloin steak, about 1/4 cup green beans and and a green salad.  Neither vegetables was a smart carb.  I could have had a small sweet potato or even a little corn.  I was satisfied with what I had but I'll remember next time to have some brown rice, sweet potato or some other smart carb.

After dinner I walked back and forth from one end of our block to the other and back and BAM!  Hit my 10k goal!

Fresh Start Day 10 Dessert 

My Fitbit tracker estimates how many calories I have at any given time for the rest of the day in order to hit my target weight loss goal.  It said I had about 300 calories.  I went through my stash of desserts and came up with the Nutrisystem Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich.  It only had 130 calories and it tasted great.

Fresh Start Day 10 Wrap Up

I even surprised myself today by hitting (and even exceeding a little) my 10k goal for the day.  I told myself no matter how lousy I feel I need to get out there and maybe I'll feel better for it.  I didn't fare quite as well with my water intake but not bad. If was GREAT having my first flex meal; it tasted very good. I'm always worried that I'll gain weight after a flex day but I think I'll be OK. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
