Fresh Start Day 41 Breakfast

Hey, I hit my 10 lb loss!  I started today off with a Nutrisystem Turkey Sausage and I topped it with 1/2 ounce cheddar cheese.  This really does kick up the flavor.

Fresh Start Day 41 Morning Snack

Around 10ish I had a fresh cup of coffee with my requisite 2 teaspoons of heavy cream. Around 11ish I took a short walk and when I got back I had one of my husband's wonderful Banana Smoothies.  I had about 5 ounces because he goes a little crazy with the high calorie stuff.  It's pretty pure though, just banana, Fage 5% Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast and a little frozen orange juice.  He adds a little water it if is too thick. It tastes great!  I ate about 135 calories worth but a normal serving is about 300 calories.

Fresh Start Day 41 Lunch

I made a half sandwich with 1 slice of Dave's Killer skinny bread and some white meat roasted chicken.  I had a little red bell pepper left so I sliced that up.  I also had half a bottle of San Pellegrino sparkling water. 

Fresh Start Day 41 Afternoon Snack

At about 3:00 I decided to have some black iced coffee.  I took another short walk up the block and back.  I'm not particularly hungry right now but I may snack on something later.  I did end up having a couple of snacks. First a bag of the Nutrisystem Sweet and Salty Snack Mix.  This is a great snack with a little sweetness but not a real dessert kind of thing.  I love peanuts and almonds so it's a hit for me.  It also includes little round pretzel bits; all very crunchy.   I was still hungry about an hour later and dinner was a way off so I had 1/2 ounce (3 thin slices) Toscano salami.

Fresh Start Day 41 Dinner

I really wanted to eat a regular Nutrisystem meal just to get more on track but we had some chicken tamales to use up.  I ate only 1/2 because the whole tamale is 360 calories and about 38g of carb.  I wasn't that hungry so half was plenty. 

Fresh Start Day 41 Dessert 

Not surprisingly I was hungry a couple hours later.  I've been holding off eating this dessert because it's one of the higher calorie options; the Nutrisystem Chocolate Brownie Sundae Cup (190 calories).  These are pretty good but as I've said before; they could reduce the calorie content a little by removing that little "blop" of brownie like thing they stick in it.

Fresh Start Day 41 Wrap Up

I'm starting to feel like I'm making some actual progress, weight wise and general improvement wise.  I got close to 7k steps in, getting closer to my 10k goal that I was keeping up with previously.   Progress is a good thing!
