Day 1-Tuesday

Ok, so this is a sparse photo one. I didn't start taking pictures until dessert. But here's what I had sans picture:
Breakfast:Chocolate Chip Scone. Ugh. It was super chewy and bland. I have about 4 more over the course of the month. Sort of looks like what's on the box but I think they should just call it a breakfast pastry, not a scone.

Lunch: Tomato Soup. Super tiny diet portion but super YUM! Rich and thick and creamy and everything tomato soup should be. I hope I have quite a few more of these.

Dinner: Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It was ok. The filling wasn't too spicy which was a plus, but it was kind of goopy. It came with a small tortilla to put the filling into and well, wrap it. Didn't dig the tortilla so I scooped out the inside and ate that. One more of these in the box.

Dessert: Peppermint Cookie Patty. I could marry this dessert. If I could only have one flavor dessert every day for a month I could live with this. It's like a peppermint patty wrapped in a Girl Scout Thin Mint. I hope I have a boatload more.Now, luckily for me the 4 itty bitty meals a day Nutrisystem sent me are not my sole sources of sustenance. I get to bulk things up a bit. It's basically common sense; More fruits, veggies, yogurts etc. And their meals basically should help reset my brain to remember what a normal sized meal should look like.
Here's a rundown of what I get to add (and they send me a list of how much of what I can have as part of their plan. Thank god all my fave salad veggies are unlimited!)
Breakfast: add a dairy or a protein and a piece of fruit
Lunch: A dairy or a protien and 2 veggie servings (those unlimited veggies I mentioned? They all count as one. So I just add carrots which are a serving unto themselves).
Midafternoon Snack: Can I just say thank god for this. I might have to kill myself if I wasn't able to nosh on something. Even if it is a piece of fruit with a dairy or protein.
Dinner: 2 veggies (so my salad again) a piece of fruit and a fat. The fat list doesn't really have a lot of options of anything I want. So right now my daily fat is 6 almonds. Which I have before I start making dinner so that I don't rush through it.

There are also free foods such as my favorite sugar free jello. That's my after dessert dessert, ha! Well, a girl has to keep herself sane while trying to lose weight.
