Day 2
Good food, so far impressed with the shelf stable food from Nutrisystem. Having the veggies helped, the mushrooms in the foreman were awesome! I'm not gonna recap my meals but 1235 was my calories for the day, and it was satisfying, even though I wasted 100 cals for a coffee energy drink, tomorrow I will have the lemonade one. I need to find some parmesan cheese out here, like soon! I can have 2 tbsp for a serving and that would work with the pasta dishes and in the pizza, although I may use a string cheese with some grilled mushrooms and red peppers on the little cheese pizza entree, hmmm..sounds yummy! I'm gonna have to start taking pics of my meal creations the truck.

Day 1 Nutrisystem
Well today went well for being unprepared. I didn't have enough veggies needed for all the meals but seemed pretty full without. The food was pretty tasty, portions small, but in compared to my usual much more realistic. We stopped at walmart and I got some "fresh" vegetables. Would love to make a trader joes run for some variety. I will be grilling on the foreman mushrooms, peppers and zucchini and steaming brocolli. I also bought some mini cukes and apple slices. Today I had the choc chip scone for breakfast, I think I will warm it next time, I also had a yogurt and banana. Lunch was chicken pasta with cacciattori sauce, slice of cheese, broccoli slaw with spray dressing and a V8. Dinner was potato wedges with sliced beef and a pear cup. Dessert was almond biscotti. Snack was bagel thin with pb and string cheese. And ALL that was only 1254 cal. I felt I was starving all day like I usually do when I think I'm not eating enough but honestly was not really hungry. The good news is my blood sugars were all below 200 infact my high was my am 174. So that is an immediate improvement! Pee'd all day like a preggo woman, I drank my 64 oz. All in all a good day, now tomorrow should be even better with more veggie options.

Nutrisystem.. starts tomorrow
Well here I go on another attempt to lose weight. I chose this plan because it is truck friendly, I can do this in the truck and have no excuses. I'm nervous, I am a serial diet failure but feel confident that I can do this. I am 42 and really need to do this. I will add my "before" pics in a few to make it official. Need my bikeshorts and tank top to look completely ridiculous, lol. Alrighty then, let's do this..
