At last, you guys! I'm down FIVE pounds. The scale finally dropped. My body finally decided we're not starving and it let go. There is triumph in having stuck it out when I could have hit the McDonald's drive through for breakfast or the In n Out when I got gas after work the other day. Please oh please let this serve as a reminder for the next time the scale remain stagnant for days and days, that if I just stick it out, it will drop a few pounds eventually. And this feeling that IT WORKS is so motivating.
So here we are, the final day of Turbo TakeOff. It's really too bad it's Saturday, but I figured two weekend days in a row would break me. Luckily I have this new found scale victory to push me through. And I saved the best sounding foods for today. My breakfast bar has FROSTING!
I'm very busy fantasizing about what I'll eat tomorrow. Suddenly, my Nutrisystem meal options seem endless. So many items to choose from! And on top of that, I get to add a protein to my breakfast (they call this "PowerFuel"), I get an extra snack composed of a PowerFuel and a "SmartCarb" (which can be a fruit, starchy vegetable, or whole grain item).
My TurboShakes for the next three weeks are vanilla, which I'm pretty excited about since as you know I'm not the biggest chocolate fan. This seems like it's getting hard to follow. Here's the daily deal for the next three weeks:
Breakfast: Nutrisystem meal + PowerFuel
Snack: TurboShake or a PowerFuel
Lunch: Nutrisystem meal
Snack: Powerfuel + SmartCarb
Dinner: Nutrisystem meal
Snack: Nutrisystem meal
See? When you take into account the variety of items in my freezer and pantry, PLUS the freedom of having hard boiled eggs, toast, string cheese, apple slices, hummus, peanut butter, cous cous, oranges, the list goes on and on.
Now, these items do add the expense of the month, when I had expected it was a one and done "grocery bill" and only budgeted for Chuck's food. But still... how much does a tablespoon of peanut butter and an apple cost?
But for today, the last of my Turbo TakeOff food. I've purposely saved the best looking/sounding items for today. Much like I also save the red Skittles for last (and the red gummy bears, the red Lifesavers, etc)
