First Day Of The Rest Of My Life

Okay, so here we go into diet nirvana right?

NOT! Ugh... counting calories, portion control, tasteless food?

I have chosen the "Nurti System Advance" meal plan to kick of the battle of the bulge. I needed something simple. My goal is weight is TBA, I have to weigh myself to get an accurate number...

Let's get real for a minute...

I start every diet off with great intent, just somehow goes awry after two weeks. Millions of us do. We start off buying tons of little containers, food scales and fad diet products. I personally feel the "fashion media" has been to blame for decades. Putting skinny woman with perfect T's & A's on the cover doesn't exactly help out in the average woman's self esteem now does it! We as a society need to face the fact that we can't airbrush our self before picking up the kids from soccer practice.


Take the European cultures for example, the daily diet consist of real butter, heavy cream, fabulous baked goods and great wines. So is it just a matter of portion control? Enjoying a bottle of Pinot Noir while nibbling on decadent slices of Zamorano (a hard sheep's milk cheese, noticeably nuttier and richer than its Spanish cousin, Manchego), can be nirvana. We eat for social reasons as well as emotional. By dieting do we have to give up some of life's simple pleasures? If I only had the great book of answers I would know.


Now, I am not one to go run 10 miles a day or join a gym. I can commit to walking, simple and everyone has to walk.


In my 20's, I'd hop on a stair master for an hour, you could bounce a quarter of my tush. Now that same lovely asset that once was is struggling to find it's way out of the "comfy" pants.


So here we go! Unpacking my 36 lbs box of prepared, pre-measured Nurti System meals, I say to myself "OMG, where am I going to put all this s**t?" I have reorganized my cupboards to make room for my lil' foods, not able to hold in my laughter I have never seen a hot dog in a 3 cm box before. Oh, can I do this people? YES, YES I can!


Day One: According to the overwhelming amount of reading material that accompanied my box of foods, I am to add a protein/dairy & veggies/fruit to each of my meals. Well would have been nice if I saw that on their web site! Anyway to late now, I refuse to start this diet pissed off!


For Breakfast...






1 egg (my protein)









I chose the "Apple Strudel Scone" from the selection.


The scone was soft and moist. Quite tasty, especially for a diet product.










I had 1/2 grapefruit (my fruit)






Okay, I will admit I got my box last night just before dinner (i ate pizza w/ the kids for lunch), I did eat Nurti System for dinner was alright. The brownie was absolutely gross! With that said, moving on.


Wonder what I will have for lunch? I will keep you posted...

Til' my next meal,
Cheers!
