Days Four through Seven
So I had my first not-that-great NS meal yesterday - the brownie to me was too dark and bitter-tasting for my liking. Not much I can do about that. I might try putting some fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed with lemon juice and Splenda) next time to help the taste. Still really liking my breakfast in the evening, although on days like today (weekend) when my hubby is home I really find myself wanting to eat in the morning with him.
On a spiritual note, it's Easter and I am so thankful for my family, my God and my salvation. We have a busy weekend (DH has four services in all this weekend) but I'm going to stay on track and try to workout as much as I can while making sure he has the time to do his very important work.
Saturday 134.8 lbs. day 4
B-NF SF hazelnut latte, banana
S-boiled egg
L-spicy tomato jalapeno soup, peanut butter bar (My take: Pretty good, but I definitely prefer the fudge graham to this.)
S-double chocolate mocha
D-thick crust pizza topped with tomato, fresh basil and fresh garlic (My take: This was my least favorite meal so far. I had a big bowl of green beans beforehand and still felt hungry. The cheese was weird and the sauce was bland. Won't be ordering this again.)
S-pancakes with blueberries (My take: I shouldn't have added the blueberries. They overwhelmed the flavor and I couldn't tell how much I liked the flavor. Next time I might just have them plain with some vanilla and splenda added.)
S-thin mint bar (My take: Um, yum. Just like a Girl Scout cookie.)
W-REST
Sunday Day 5 - Easter
B-NF SF hazelnut latte
L-tortellini with tomatoes, crushed red pepper, mushrooms, garlic and basil and 2 T. parmesan on top
S-light banana yogurt with banana slices, sugar-free double mocha
D-sweet and sour chicken with noodles with soy sauce, ginger, chile garlic sauce, red and green pepper, jalapeno
S-banana muffin (My take: Pretty good, I sprayed with ICBINB. Prefer the scones and double chocolate muffin to this for sure.)
S-chocolate nougat bar (My take: Meh. Won't order this again.)
W-Ripped in 30 video
Monday day 6
B-NF SF hazelnut latte, banana
L-trail mix bar, subway turkey six-inch with veggies and mustard (Okay, so I had two lunches today. My calories were still around 1300.) (My take: This was a nice salty-sweet bar, but I'll definitely be skipping this for the fudge graham next time.)
S-double mocha, light yogurt
D-spicy chicken sausage and rice with diced tomatoes, red bell pepper and jalapeno added (My take: This was awesome! I added some lime juice and various chile pepper powders and cumin. A real delight.)
S-cranberry orange pastry (My take: Not as good as I expected, but still pretty yummy. Smelled better than it tasted.)
S-chocolate peanut butter bar
W-40 minutes cardio, lift back and bis, 30 situps
Tuesday day 7
B-NF SF hazelnut iced latte, banana
L-potato soup made with NS mashed potatoes with sauteed celery, onion, carrots, 1 c.nonfat milk
S-double mocha
D-chicken tortilla soup with fire-roasted tex-mex diced tomatoes, bell and jalapeno peppers added (My take: Yum! Love anything like this I can doctor up and add some heat to it.)
S-yogurt parfait with 12 dark cherries, light yogurt, NS lowfat granola (My take: One of my favorite meals so far. I used Yoplait Red Velvet cake flavor.)
S-double mocha, chocolate almond cookie (My take: Ick. Bland and dry, not chocolatey enough for me. Will be trying to trade these.)
W-17 minutes run/walk, lift chest, shoulders and tris, 30 situps

Day Three: Getting in the Swing of It
B-banana, medium nonfat sugar-free hazelnut latte (8:30 a.m.)
L-tomato soup (diced tomatoes, garlic, basil topped with 2 T. parmesan cheese) fudge graham bar (2 p.m.) (My take: This was the best bar I have EVER had, and I've tried plenty of them. So decadent and chunky with lots of chips, graham and marshmallow pieces. Didn't think I'd like having a bar for lunch, but the soup made it feel like it was more of a dessert.)
S-sugar free double chocolate mocha (4 p.m.)
D-vegetable fajita with orange bell pepper, jalapeno and diced tomatoes in whole wheat tortilla (6 p.m.) (My take: My additions of jalapeno, peppers and tomatoes as well as cumin, cilantro, ancho chile powder and chile piquin powder, made this dish. It would have been rather bland I think without it.)
S-apple strudel scone (8:30 p.m.) (My take: Toasted with ICBINB spray and cinnamon, this was a fragrant, yummy, tummy-warming snack.)
S-fudge brownie (10:30 p.m.) (My take: Worst thing I've had yet. Won't be ordering again. Too dark and bitter for my taste. Also, slightly deformed.)
W-run/walk 45 minutes (5 p.m.)
Bodybugg burn: 2749
Calorie intake: 1350
So far, I'm finding that I prefer the meals that are southwestern, asian or can take the addition of vegetables and spices to improve upon it. I'm wondering if I'll like the lasagna for that reason...hard to "edit" lasagna. Much easier to spice up a bowl of orange chicken and rice.

Day Two
I liked having two snacks after Rainn went to bed last night, so I'm going to repeat that today.
B-small banana, iced nonfat SF hazelnut latte
S-boiled egg, apple (overripe red one - tasted like mashed potatoes. Yuck.)
L-red beans and rice with chicken sausage, 1/2 c. diced tomatoes (added to meal), jalapeno pepper (My take: Alone, this would have been a little bland for me and definitely too small a portion to be satisfying, but the additions - my jalapeno/tomato saute with added chile piquin, ground red and ancho pepper - turned it into a hearty, spicy, steaming bowl of yumminess! I'm stuffed!)
S-iced SF hazelnut latte
D-vegetable fajita, 2 tsp. chili garlic sauce, 1/2 c. orange bell pepper, 1 jalapeno (My take: This was delicious the way I made it. Again, I think the crunch and flavor of the bell and jalapeno pepper as well as the extra kick from the chili sauce really turned it into something special where it would have been just mediocre.)
S-double chocolate chip muffin (My take: This was amazing. So filling, moist and decadent!)
S-blueberry lemon dessert bar (My take: While small, it was a yummy yogurt like coating with a sweet vs. tangy filling that had enough chewiness and crunch to leave me totally delighted.)
W-rest
Calories in: 1374
Bodybugg burn: 2278
What I'm learning so far is that it is ALL about the fresh add-ins. Forget eating a handful of carrots to get your veggie servings - I'm going to get creative and spice up all my dishes. Tomorrow is first week's weigh in. Hoping to just still be 135, which is what I was last Friday, since I had that very bad binge day on Tuesday. Will review today's meals as I eat them!

Nutrisystem Day One: It Begins
Well, hello there!
So I've decided to try Nutrisystem. The challenges of a 1) long winter 2) feeding two small children and a man and 3) having little time to workout and/or prepare my own special diet foods have led me to believe this will be a good fit for me. At least a good jumping off point.
I also have noticed there aren't many blogs or very much info on the food - reviews, modifications, etc. - for the layperson. So I decided to jot down my daily intake, workouts, weight loss and review the food as well as my fresh food additions.
Today was day one. Ashamed to admit that I totally binged and didn't workout yesterday, knowing I was starting today. Don't want to think about how many calories I consumed. I ate so much I couldn't even finish the medium double fudge cookie dough Blizzard that was to end my day of eating, if that tells you anything.
Alas, I choose to forgive myself and move on. Today is a new day, and I am a beloved child of God.
B-yoplait light yogurt, half banana
S-boiled egg
L-carrots, cucumber, ZONE fudge graham bar (NS box hadn't arrived yet)
S-apple, latte (iced, SF hazelnut, nonfat - um, YUM! Will be having this daily.)
D-meatloaf and mashed potatoes in tomato sauce, one can low sodium green beans with ICBINB spray, garlic powder and sea salt (My take: Surprisingly filling and yummy. A little bit mushy and a little undersalted, but that was easily remedied. Overall, it was good, filling comfort food and my tummy was happy after a day of very light eating.)
S-chocolate chip scone toasted (This is a breakfast but since I didn't have my box this a.m. I decided to save it until this evening. This may be a regular thing for me since my morning hunger level is low and my post-workout, sitting-on-my-butt-after-Rainn-goes-to-bed hunger level is quite high.) (My take: A toasty, warm and satisfying chocolatey snack that left me fuller than expected.)
S-peppermint patty cookie (My take: Um, delicious. Like a York but more substantial. This does not taste like diet food! I would eat this for dessert any day of the week.)
W-Ripped in 30 level 2, 12 minutes eliptical, 28 minutes treadmill run/walk
My NS tracker calorie intake: 1284
My Bodybugg calorie burn today: about 2800
My weigh in day is Friday, so I'll keep you posted on that. My goal is to burn between 1000 and 1500 calories a day. I have five weeks of food, which I plan to be impeccable about eating and following. I hope to lose 2 lbs a week for a total of 10 lbs. I'd like to weigh in at my wedding weight of 125. Here we go!

Week Two 12/21-12/27
Last week was a total bust. I ate like junk and did weigh myself this morning - 137. Not bad, but I did South Beach Phase One yesterday so that would explain it. South Beach has been the only diet I've been able to stick to for any length of time and my body responds really well to it.
