Fresh Start Day 31 Breakfast

A waffle sounded good so heated it up, whipped up a scrambled egg and poured a glass of V8 juice to serve along side.  I topped my waffle with about 1 teaspoon butter and a tablespoon of Vermont sugar free syrup.  Of course I had my morning cup of coffee or two.  After breakfast I started a few weekend chores like tidying up the house a little and starting laundry.  I'm not up for any exercise yet today but I'll get to that eventually I'm sure.

Fresh Start Day 31 Morning Snack

Around 9:15ish I had what has become my regular cup of coffee with 2 teaspoons of heavy cream.  Nutrisystem would frown upon anything full-fat but I tend to disagree (for me).  Keeping saturated fats down is a good thing but I believe in enjoying the flavor of "natural" foods.  If I spend a year less at the end of my life in the nursing home in diapers, so be it; at least I enjoyed life and good food in the meanwhile.

Afterward I attempted a short walk but I didn't get far.  I turned around and came back after a couple of blocks.  When I got back I had 2 little Wedges of Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese for a snack. 

Fresh Start Day 31 Lunch

I got hungry slightly after lunch time and heated up the Nutrisystem Red Beas and Rice.  As shelf-stable MRE meals, this one is pretty decent.  I like food with a little spice.  Sometimes I add a splash of Tabasco sauce but I didn't today.  Later I had an iced coffee.

Fresh Start Day 31 Afternoon Snack

I had a little more ice coffee but no snack.  I made another attempt at taking a walk.  I did about 3-4 blocks. Better than nothing, eh?

Fresh Start Day 31 Dinner

I'm at that "I'm hungry but nothing sounds good" stage.  I decided to try something new.  I heated the Nutrisystem Cheesesteak Pizza.  This is a new entree for Nutrisystem.  The pizza has steak bits, green and red bell pepper, onion, mozzarella cheese and a "cheese sauce".  I would put this on my "it was OK list".  Given I think their best tasting pizza is the Italian Sausage and Turkey Pepperoni so this one in my view is not even as good.   I'm a bit of a purist too; I don't like things like steak or ground beef on my pizza.  Again, personal preference so if you're on the Nutrisystem Program I recommend trying everything yourself once and don't rely on the customer reviews.  Things I would have never thought I'd like I end up reordering. I topped my pizza with some hot red pepper flakes.

Fresh Start Day 31 Dessert 

I didn't make it out for another walk.  Nevertheless I did enjoy another Nutrisystem Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich.

Fresh Start Day 31 Wrap Up

Lack of exercise notwithstanding it was a pretty good day, all in all.  I didn't have any flex meals today so mostly all Nutrisystem foods.  I hit 50% of my step goal so I guess that could have been worse.  I did track my water intake a little better which is a good thing.  Hopefully I can get back on track with exercise tomorrow.  See you on Monday!
