And no matter what I can say about the taste of the meals I'll tell you this it does what it says. In the one week I've been on the plan I have lost 5 pounds. Making a total of 10 since I joined the gym April 4th. This is not counting the other 5 I lost that I somehow gained back and then lost again. Those 5 pounds were the breaking point to start this crazy nutrisystem thing. I have no patience.On to what you are looking for: food porn.
Breakfast: Double Chocolate Muffins. I was torn about how to feel about this choice. All the pastries have been gross, but that chocolate cake dessert was bangin'. There are little chocolate chips inside the muffin and while it's not as stellar as the dessert was, this was a good breakfast. I liked this breakfast a lot. Great chocolaty taste, moist texture and no weird aftertaste. Hooray! I had a successful breakfast! I hope I have more of these. I also had a hard boiled egg as my protein and a banana as my fruit.
Lunch: Turkey Dog. Whenever I get dogs, I usually get the soy variety and they sit in my freezer for ages. This wasn't one of my choices, it was one of what they selected for the free week. I figured I'd survive so I didn't ask to exchange it. I could have a bread with it in the 100 calorie range but since I had no buns (since they always go bad because I don't eat the dogs fast enough) I had one toasted slice of light whole grain bread[35 calories] as the bun. A splash of mustard and ketchup because, hey it's a hot dog, it's practically mandatory. I did the turkey pickle combo again and I had a cup of carrots as my other veg. The dog looked like the package, just a little darker. Could have been their lighting. The dog was quite tasty. It's the only one I have so we won't be seeing him again. Though if I reorder I will add in a few.
Afternoon Snack: Yogurt and a plum. Shout out to those Yoplait 100 calorie yogurt parfaits. The lemon flavor and the caramel flavor are awe-some. I feel like I shouldn't be having them.Dinner: DH wanted to go out to dinner, so we just went to the cafe up the street. I always get the house salad there with grilled chicken. While I could have had that I did want to have the dinner entree I had at home, so I had the salad plain as my veggie servings. When we got home I had the Thick Crust Pizza. I'm not really into thick crust pizzas in general but on this plan I figured pizza is pizza, just go for it. It wasn't a very thick crust. I learned my lesson from the flat bread pizza and this bad boy did not go into the microwave. It probably would have been ridiculously chewy if I did that. I was also hoping that it might solve that weird color I noticed with the flat bread pizza. It didn't; though it could have been that I didn't time it and may have overcooked it. Just like the other one the pizza was solid. Good crust, cheese and sauce all around. I really wish I had an extra protein serving to add some turkey pepperoni to it. Mmmmm, turkey pepperoni. A true test of this plan is if I can avoid one of my fave quick snacks-turkey pepperoni and reduced fat hard cheese.
Dessert: As I mentioned the other day I've moved my fat serving and my fruit serving to later in the evening so I started with the 6 almonds and then I was going to have the 15 grapes but I remembered I had blackberries so I had a handful of them, which was less than the serving guide book said I could have. The dessert itself was Golden Pound Cake. I heated up the blackberries in the microwave to make a little sauce and broke up the pound cake over it. Yum. It was a little darker than the picture, but I'm not splitting hairs.
