Day 5

So the title might be confusing considering this is my second post, but to reiterated last post. I made this blog 4 days late so today, Tuesday May 24, 2016, is my fifth day on the nutrisystem diet. And yeah I am posting this on Day 6 because I have more shit to do than complain about what food I am eating and how dieting is not fun. I never have blogged before but after yesterday’s rant I figured I should probably tell you about the food I eat. Since that may be why you are here.

Breakfast: I tried the Turkey Ham and Cheese Omelet and 2 mini Babybel light cheese wheels. It is one of the frozen prepackaged foods designated for breakfast. Considering I have been deprived of flavor for the past four days, this was a a surprise. The egg was a little spongey but the filling was pretty good. Best part? Only 90 calories! So I didn’t feel guilty about tacking on the extra cheese.

Lunch: The Chicken Fajita Melt is okay. I am getting used to the disappointing taste of whole grain breads. I also had a shit ton of broccoli because lets be real, that tiny ass hot pocket is not enough to feed anyone.

Dinner: Italian Herb Flat Bread Pizza with a huge spinach salad and honey mustard dressing. I save my three extras you are allowed on a nutrisystem diet for the dressing because mama likes her salads like she likes her wardrobe: over-dressed. 

Snacks: I had a turbo shake before lunch and tried to mix it up by adding cinnamon. Big mistake. I added way too much and it was not a delicious treat. I have been skipping the after lunch shakes/snacks because frankly, I am over the taste of chocolate. After this diet I don’t want to even look at chocolate. They sent waaaaaay too much chocolate foods and It is a little much. For a late night/after dinner snack I had the prepackaged Peanut Butter cookie which, not gonna lie, was pretty damn good. 

The cravings are real at this point. God what I would do for a cheesesteak and mcdonalds french fries.

God I am starting to sound like one of those bullshit uppity diet bloggers named Carol who talk about how great everything with a constant optimistic out look. If you can’t already tell, that is not that kind of blog.

My Beginning (4 Days Late)

I didn’t get this idea to create this blog until 4 days into my nutrisystem diet because I am a train wreck, but I figure talking about my struggle to the internet seems a lot better than irritating every person around me who do not give a shit less if I eat a cheesesteak or salad. So here I am, bothering whoever is reading this. 

Like I said I am 4 days into this diet and I am already Googling motivation to stick with it instead of going off the deep end and ordering three large extra cheese pizzas and binge eating them all by myself. Now that I typed that out I am realizing the savage hungry monster I am turning into on this diet. 

I am not going to bash the diet plan Nutrisystem has to offer because ideally it is fantastic and, better yet, convenient. I am just bad at dieting. I did it once a couple years back which helped me develop pro level calorie counting skills and I lost 40 lbs which was great except I went on winter break and my family is the over eating type. Needless to say I gained it back plus more and spent the next two years eating trash and developing poor eating habits. Now you see why a strict schedule should be great for me.

Truth be told, I am miserable. I am going through a slump for sure. First day I felt great. I was motivated and energized but now I barely have the energy to get out of bed (I still do but it is a battle) and I am hungry too often. I am not eating the suggested amount of calories on the NuMi app that is recommended but I am doing what I did before and it is so hard. Good thing my family I am currently staying with is on a health kick because my cousin is getting married and wants to look good for the wedding, if it wasn’t for them I would have already run for McDonalds to get some french fries and chicken nuggets. 

My goal with this blog I guess is to stay on track and find somewhere to complain. Hey maybe at the end of the month I will look back at this and laugh about how ridiculous I am being. In that case, hey future me. If we made it that far, keep going because this shit isn’t easy. Hopefully you are less hungry than I am right now.
