Day One - Finally

 It’s finally here. Day One. And here is what I get to eat today. I can add four servings of veggies as well. Correction: I'm supposed to add at LEAST four servings of veggies. But I'm not a big fan of veggies, especially raw or cooked with little or no deliciousness added. I bought some carrot sticks, so I *might* get one or two servings in. Plus 64 oz of water. 

I added it up. Actually, Nutrisystem's tracking app NuMi added it up. There are 890 calories in this photo. So, here's my strategy for the day. Please note: I'm fully aware this is NOT the correct way to go about dieting. Chuck works today from 6am to 6pm, so I'm on my own. 

Step One: Plan ahead. Check. Last night I chose which delicious meal choices to eat today. Since I don't have the distraction of work today, I needed to ensure my food tasted good. Not so easy when I have yet to try anything, but I did my best.

Step Two: Sleep late. Check. I slept until 10am

Step Three: Wait as long as possible before eating my breakfast meal. Check. I ate my breakfast meal at noon. This allows me to eat every two hours, finishing up at 8pm. 

Step Four: Stay busy. Check. I made myself a to-do list, which I'm sadly almost finished with at 1:30. The list included grocery shopping for Chuck, setting up our Alexa-run Smart Plug for the space heater in our bedroom, and yes, I even added a shower to my list just to be able to check it off. All that's left is washing our sheets. 

Step Five: if all else fails, nap. This is why I've yet to wash our sheets. This would inhibit my nap ability and I'm not quite ready to commit to doing Day One 100% conscious just yet. 



So here's my menu for the day:
Breakfast - Double Chocolate Muffin
Snack #1 - Chocolate Turbo Shake
Lunch - Fudge Graham Bar
Snack #2 - Peanut Butter Chocolate Crush Bar
Dinner - Tuscan Inspired Pasta
