Day 11 Friday

Breakfast: Apple Strudel Scone. Insert fear here. The chocolate chip scone on the first day was so disappointing. I did not have hopes for this. I don't know if it's because I knew what to expect texture wise or if my taste buds have adjusted to the bland unfun breakfasts, but this wasn't half bad. Could have used a little more apple flavoring to it, maybe some cinnamon. I paired this with a low fat 100 calorie chocolate milk as my dairy. Missed the fruit, oops. I'm still struggling with having breakfast regularly.

Lunch: Tuna Salad on a Bagel Thin. Ahhh, something I know I will like. I chopped up some celery and added that to the tuna salad to give it that crunch I thought it was missing the last time. I also added a little broccoli slaw again and a lettuce leaf for this little beauty down here. Forgot to add a dairy/protein but I was quite satisfied after the sammich so I didn't really mind.
Once again I missed my afternoon snack because I was in a time warp of business and by the time I noticed I figured I would just wait for dinner since I wasn't actually hungry.

Dinner: Buffalo Chicken Wrap. This is the meal I had on the first day of the program that was pretty much the impetus for the blog, and why the url is: that's not what it looks like on the box. This meal so does not look like what is on the box. It is however, very tasty. It's a good wing craving killer. Since I knew what I was in for, I knew I did not want to eat that nasty little torilla it comes with. Truth be told, I don't eat wraps. If you ever open one up, do you see how much there is folded up under the filling? Unless you are getting a high fiber/low calorie one (like from La Tortilla Factory) and making it yourself, I think wraps are kind of silly and you might as well have bread (as long as it's not white). So as you can see in the picture on the box there are big chunks of chicken and the wrap is wrapped properly. When I made it the first time I couldn't wrap it, just roll it taquito (mmmmmm taquitos, sorry, I digress) style because there was more filling than wrap (the wrap is laughably small). Like most things nutrisystem it was heavy on the sauce. At least the sauce is good, even if it is a little spicy for me. I am the whitest Latina you will ever meet (ok half Latina, the Irish side must be what prevents me from diggin spicy foods). Instead of the tortilla I used 2 pretty big romaine leaves to use as a wrap (and a veggie) and to complete the wing experience I had carrots and celery as my veggies. I used them to scoop up some of the filling because the lettuce couldn't hold all of it. I liked this meal much better this way than the first try.

Dessert: Cheese Puffs. These I was excited about. I know a lot of people tend to think the baked variety of crisps are kind of like cardboard, and some are (Baked Doritos I'm looking at you). But I quite like the Baked Cheetos, and I lament that the smaller bags are so hard to find lately (and so are Baked Sour Cream and Onion in the small bags....Lays what gives?) So these spoke to me when I saw them as a dessert selection online. Have to balance out all the sweet with a little savory right? They were good, but they reminded me more of a Fritos Corn Chip than a Cheeto or any other kind of cheesy poof. They also didn't turn my fingers orange, good thing/bad thing. There was quite a decent serving of them in the bag, which I apparently neglected to photograph for you, but I'm pretty sure they are somewhere in remaining pile of food. I was pleased with them, and they did satisfy that evening tv viewing snack craving, but taste wise they were nowhere near to what I was expecting. Now that I know what to expect I'd probably like them a lot more the next time. I also had some peanuts as my dinner fat and a plum as my dinner fruit to this dessert.
