Nutrisystem Fast 5 - Day 5 Review
Somewhere along the way things got messed up with the meals. Perhaps it's where I changed teh bar for an entree, or it could be when I realized that I looked at the wrong page in the guide for half the day. Anyways, it's a great thing that all of these meals are interchangeable. When I weighed myself it as flipping between what I was and the pound lower. I'm not going to take the liberty to claim that pound, so we will just say that we stayed the same. Also of note, is that I'm not going to the bathroom for #2 as much. Peeing? Heck yes, every 5 minutes it seems, but not the rest. I know, TMI, but it's part of the deal. I might try to go a bit more leafy green on my veggies.
Today's meals minus dinner:
I woke up this morning and got myself to the gym. I've been pretty good about my workouts, and when I couldn't get to the gym, I did something at home. I work out harder at the gym, and I have the bonus of the trainer. I got my gym membership when the gym was still new eons ago, so when I started going again my rate hadn't changed from $15/month. I work for the state which also gives a discount (already applied). The rate for my trainer is actually quite reasonable. I signed a year contract and have 1/2 hour sessions. Those sessions roll over for 90 days. Training costs me about $230/month and I normally schedule my training 2X/week.
I received my Nutrisystem shipment yesterday. (I didn't take pics, but I will try to remember to take one later.) I was super excited to go through it and look at all of the flavors I had. Some of which I did not remember requesting. Though I heard that they change things out without letting you know if it's in short supply. My first shipment also came with another Fast 5. Along with being in short supply, my invoice stated that the eating guide to my plan wasn't available so they substituted it. Seriously!?
I told myself to contact the support system at Nutrisystem. I have the Core plan so it's included and I had a bunch of questions that I was unsure of. I was going to call, but ended up on the website and used the chat feature. It also gives you an option to have a transcript of the conversation emailed to you, which I think is awesome to help you remember. I got GabrielC, who was great. The response was super prompt and they answered all of my questions. Like with my shipment, I received the fruit and the vanilla shakes to try out, how do you incorporate that? It doesn't really come with instructions. When I told them about the eating plan I got, they let me know that the replacement that they sent me was actually just like the one I was on and I could follow it. They sent it to me because it was the closest plan. Yay. They helped me clearly understand everything I needed to know. Use them if you have the option!!! Why question for endless time when you can just ask?
This morning I had the apple strudel bar. It was seriously small. I went for it and it actually tastes pretty good. It was a bit on the sweet side for me, so it might not be one of my top favorites for that, but I would easily stash this in my purse for some on the run ability.
I had the Energi-Zing shake during break. It really does pep you up, but there is a noticeable lag later in the day. After my shake, I ended up cleaning my desk. One of those projects I kept putting off but suddenly I had all this get up and go.
Lunch, I went downstairs and got a green salad (big today) which I used a mixture of balsamic and red wine vinegar as my dressing. I like vinaigrette, and the loss of the EVOO is not a game changer for me. This is of course during the Fast 5 faze because I saw in the food planner that fat free dressing was allowed.
I'm not sure what dinner is going to be today with the meals all messed up, but I was thinking chili. Last night I had the turkey sausage and bacon rigatoni with some broiled mushrooms. Not one of my favorites. I went online last night and switched my future order not to contain it. It would be livable if that was one of a few choices, but I would rather have something else. I quartered and dry roasted 3/4 of one of those large cartons of white mushrooms. I gave a small amount to my husband for his steak. I love mushrooms. Hopefully tonight's meal is tasty.
