Nutrisystem Fast Five - Day 3 Review
Day 3!! Not as bad as I thought it might be. Yesterday I weighed in 2 pounds less, and today was the same loss (-4!!!!). Of course, just my luck that by the time I got to the gym and got weighed and measured by my trainer it was up. Thank you coffee and water. So for the duration, I shall only follow my scale, but I will go with my trainers measurements. I will have to look back and see what my initial measurements were. I will ask her to measure again at the end of the Fast 5, and then periodically through my weight loss journey.
Just as a note to you all, I noticed as I was searching the web for other reviews that most of them are sponsored by Nutrisystem, and I assure you that I am currently not. If they choose (go on ahead!!) to sponsor me, then I will make sure that it is stated in the next blog to notify you all.
So things that I've noticed.... It might be that I'm PMSing, but I have been exhausted. But it's not usually that bad. I've been going to bed way early and tired when I wake. I'm hoping that if this is diet related that it passes quickly. I know that this can happen when you suddenly change your body's diet routine. I've been getting a great energy boost from the shakes, but it does drop off during the latter afternoon. Cravings haven't been horrible, but I've caught myself a bunch of times about to automatically put something in my mouth and having to mentally stop myself.
I've had a hard time even with how short this has been with cooking for my husband. The first night I was going to have a salad with my dinner before I decided on broccoli. That is what I gave him instead. Thankfully he loves salad. Last night I was having the mac n cheese with turkey sausage, so I made him mac n cheese with tuna and veggies. Automatically I almost threw some pasta down my throat (you know those escape artists) and had to spit it out. I'm going to need him to cook his own meals I think. Perhaps I will just get him a bunch of steaks and then he can share my veggies.
Last night I again put my dinner meal on top of the broccoli and mixed it up. Definitely the way to go and I was completely satisfied. This is the Fast 5 so there is no dessert. One week will be okay.
This morning I had the granola cereal with fat free milk. I'm not the hugest milk fan, but I didn't bring any with me so I went downstairs to the coffee shop to see if they had any almond milk. Yay, they did. Sad, it wasn't sugar free. I went ahead and got the fat free milk which ended up not being bad. The cereal is like granola clusters and they did not get soggy on me while eating them. Might be a keeper.
I told you last time that I hate bars for lunch. According to the meal planner, today was supposed to have another bar. I decided to switch that to the end of the week, which will be during the weekend and a bit easier for me to handle. Today I have the white bean chicken chili for lunch. I will go downstairs again and get a side salad at the cafeteria downstairs from my office. I meant to bring my leftover green beans, but alas I forgot.
Tonight is the chicken pot pie. I've heard great things about this. And I've always loved pot pies. The winter weather right now suits it too. I will probably add my cut up green beans to this meal. I definitely hate to waste. I've also included the nutritional information of the shakes just as an FYI. Sometimes I think all shakes are the same, so I like to see the difference.
