Day 2-Wednesday

So I survived day one and lived to tell about it. So far so good except I am way more focused on food. I mean thinking about it constantly. Argh! A trip to the grocery store didn't help but I just focused on all the fruits and veggies I could get.

Breakfast: Cinnamon Bun. Another chewy pastry and a good example of "that's not what it looks like on the box." It was ok. Smaller than yesterday's so called "scone" just as chewy but a little sweeter. Probably because of that icing.
I had some skim milk and a plum as my dairy and fruit.

Lunch: 3 Cheese Pasta with Chicken. This I had high hopes for when I ordered it. Little did I know it would come in one of those add water soup containers. Frightening, but I have had good things come out of those containers before with soups so I reserved judgment. Oh my god: it was pretty vile and definitely did NOT look like the container. It was a bland colored mush mall. I tried to liven it up using some of my veggie servings in it (broccoli slaw and tomatoes both unlimited and counting as one along with what I had in my side salad). For protein I had a hardboiled egg. This meal is a fail on nutrisystem. I have a few more in the box to choke down at a later date. Maybe next time I will add less water? more? more veggies?Where does the pasta end and the chicken begin? That's broccoli? oh my.
Midafternoon Snack: Cherry Cobbler Yogurt (yummy) and half a Fuji apple. (my fave apple is really big and nutrisystem says to have a small to medium one, so I have half a large apple)

Dinner: The dinner entree itself is grilled chicken. And it accounts for having a small roll with it. Small roll being in the 120 calorie range. So I had a 110 calorie bagel thin. But I didn't eat it as a sandwich. I added it to my salad and had the bagel thin on the side. I was so happy to learn the bread thing =) So it looks like what's on the package and tastes like chicken! Winner! So far this wins the prize for most like whats on the box.
I also had a kiwi as my fruit serving and 6 almonds as my fat.

Finally, Dessert: Strawberry Shortcake bar. I've taken one bite. Pretty good, very sweet. Was expecting a little more firmness than it had. This selection was one of my I can't pick ALL chocolate options.
I'm going to eat this bar very very slowly. Possibly a sugar free jello later.
But very very slowly.

    In the food journal they give you, there's a spot for your weigh in everyday. I usually do it every few days anyway, so I'm sticking with that. I'll torment myself if I do it everyday.
