Fresh Start Day 26 Breakfast

I have an appointment this morning so no gardening for me.  I did get some watering done before it was time to leave.   I heated a Nutrisystem Cinnamon Roll and served with some black coffee and about 1/3 cup Fage 2% yogurt.  This was not an exciting breakfast but I didn't want to take the time to cook anything. 

Fresh Start Day 26 Morning Snack

I went grocery shopping after my appointment and arrived back home about 11ish. I purchased some fresh USA caught halibut steaks.  It sounds perfect for dinner. I put on some fresh coffee and served it with the usual 2 teaspoons heavy cream.  I headed for my desk and got some work done.  I needed to get a walk in and it's not getting any cooler outside.  It might hit 90F today.  I prepped my Nutrisystem Turbo Chocolate Shake and drank it down before I headed out.   It was 84F out and it's hard to avoid the sun.  I got about 6000 steps in, not bad.

Fresh Start Day 26 Lunch (Flex)

I planned on a flex lunch today but I hadn't planned on the flex dinner.  I don't want the fresh halibut to sit in the frig so I'll just wing it and have two flex meals in one day.  That used to be a no-no in prior versions of the Nutrisystem Plan but now I have so many flex meals in a week that there is no way to not have some overlap.

I would have preferred not to  have more of my salty (buy yummy) baked ham but it's there and I want to use it.  I sliced off 2 ounces and served it with a slice of Dave's Killer skinny bread and some mustard.  I also sliced some cucumber.  Cucumber is perfect hot weather food.

Fresh Start Day 26 Afternoon Snack

I didn't want to eat a lot so I just ate some raw cashew nuts; 3/4 ounce to be exact as well as a glass of iced coffee.

Fresh Start Day 26 Dinner (Flex)

I threw on the grill and grilled my lovely halibut steak (plenty for 2 people).  I marinated the fish in some olive oil, garlic, toasted then ground fennel seed and some salt.  I also roasted the rest of my green beans I purchased for Easter, and heated the leftover mashed sweet potatoes.  It made a perfect flex dinner.

Fresh Start Day 26 Dessert 

After dinner I headed out for my final walk of the day.  I walked to the grocery store and back and that took care of my 10k.  It was still very warm out so perfect for an evening walk.  When I returned home I had a Nutrisystem Orange Cream Bar.

Fresh Start Day 26 Wrap Up

Other than it getting awfully hot for doing much of anything other than sipping Mint Juleps on the veranda; this was a good day.  I made my step goal, my 9 of 10 hours of 250 steps or more goal and my calorie goal but not so much my water intake goal.  I plan to be back in the garden early in the morning before it heats up.  I "almost" have the garden area cleaned up and "manageable" until the next crop of weeds fill in.  Hope you all enjoying your week.  I'll catch you around the water cooler tomorrow!
