Day 18

Today, for breakfast I had cinnamon oatmeal with half of a grapefruit. I also scrambled 1 egg with salsa an hour later. I can't remember what I had for lunch. I'll have to think about that. For dinner, I brought the packaged spaghetti with meat sauce to my class and ate it on break. For some reason, I didn't like it too much. I don't know why. I liked it the first time! It was almost like a nutrisweet flavor to it. That sucks, now what am I going to do for dinner? I'm getting low on my dinner options and I'm liking less stuff. And, I'm craving those hamburgers. I want one almost every night. Is it really bad to have a hamburger every night?

Day 17

For breakfast, I had the frozen omelette with ham & cheese. It was actually pretty good. Better than the veggie omelette. Maybe I have to get used to the frozen omelettes.

For lunch, I had the pasta parmesan with brocoli. I searched for this food on the boards of the nutrisystem and followed the suggestions they gave. This is what several people on the boards said to do to make it taste better:

1. Add boiling water to the fill line of the cup. Stir well.
2. Cover the cup. Wait 20 minutes.
3. Stir again and wait another few minutes.

I also made some brocoli and mix it together in a saucepan. It was tasty and I would make again!

For dinner, I decided to try the hamburger again. A few people on the boards said to mix some worchestire sauce in the hot water of the hamburger. I did that, but the burger felt a little salty. Maybe I put too much in? Someone on the boards recommended grilling the buns with pam. I did that and it was awesome! The burger itself still needs work I think. I also made some carrot fries and they were so good. All I did was slice some carrots and put in a bowl with some salt, pepper, pam, and rosemary spice. I mixed everything together and put it on a baking sheet for 20 minutes at 425 degrees. Awesome! I'm going to make more next time! I also added a salad to my dinner. It was a good dinner.

Day 16

I had some interesting meals today. I cooked up the frozen pancakes, microwaved them and put fresh sliced bananas on top. Pretty good. I would like to try the packaged pancake mix next time and put bananas inside the mix. I served the pancakes with half of a grapefruit. An hour later, I had 1 egg scrambled with pace salsa. It was tasty!

After breakfast, I weighed myself and lost 2 pounds!! I was happy to lose some more pounds. I lost a total of 4 pounds in two weeks. Not as much as other people have lost, but at least it's something!

For lunch, I had the mexican tortilla soup. I dumped everything in a sauce pan and added green beans, green bell pepper in the mix. I put a tablespoon of ff sour cream and sprinkled some ff cheese on top. It was really good! By far, one of my favorite lunches!

For dinner, I had the meat lasagne. I thought it was just okay and had a weird taste afterwards. I won't be ordering that one again.

Day 3 - Dinner

I was thinking of what would be a good dinner to bring during my break tonight in my massage class. I wanted to try something new and not pasta. I've been having a lot of pasta lately. I decided to try the sweet and sour chicken dinner. I checked to see if there were any comments on this meal on the message boards. Sometimes they mention ideas on how to improve the meal. Someone commented that they hated it. I was like, "Oh, great. I chose a bad dinner". But, other people said just add vegetables and soy sauce and it's good. I tried that. I cooked it up, put it in a bowl, and ate it during my break tonight. Oh my gosh! That was the worst thing I have ever tasted! The nutri-sweet flavor in the chicken really got to me and I couldn't eat it. I ended up finding some nuts to snack on and I threw the sweet and sour chicken in the trash! I felt a little sick to my stomach the whole evening and had trouble sleeping.
