Blood donation today

Hi everyone! Don’t forget to donate blood this fall! As we approach the holiday season, blood shortages occur. It takes less than an hour, and really is painless. Go to givebloodnow.org to find a donation center near you!

Sometimes I think my tastes must be really weird. I read the NS boards and really enjoy a lot of the foods that others don’t. And the foods are not spicy at all! Although that I understand, since it is hard to make a food too hot for me to eat 🙂
Last night I put hot sauce on the 3cheese chicken with pasta. Yumm!!!!

I don’t like how Nutrisystem edits your auto delivery without notifying you. The trail mix bar is low inventory, so every had their orders changed to cheese tortellini! Yuck! You would think they would have at least subbed it with another type of bar.
Good thing my order isn’t to ship until at least the 11th of November, unless I delay it some more.

Nice weekend

Had a nice day on Saturday. Managed to not go crazy with the eating, and stayed within a reasonable calorie range. Surprised about that, that’s for sure!

Today, had breakfast out. Going well with subbing my own meals for NS meals. I try to do about 1 meal on my own per day. It hasn’t hurt my weight loss for the last 2 weeks, hope it keeps up. I am becoming concerned with the amount of sodium I am eating. NS foods alone put me close to the max of 2400, and any add ins I eat push me over. When I log days with a meal on my own, my sodium count is always below 2400. But, that’s processed food for you.

Today, Moxie the stray kitty went to her new home. I am very sad, she had some trouble wanting to go in the carrier, and we stressed her out. So, I am sad *and* worried about her. She is just so sweet, and had such a hard life.
We went out for coffee after, and I had a few bites of DH’s brownie. Silly how a confection can be so soothing.

Nutrisystem pancakes

While I am not crazy about processed food in general – there are some products that nutrisystem makes that are really good.

The pancakes have 120 calories, 12 grams of fiber and 11 grams of protein per serving! And they taste really good. You can either add milk or buttermilk to make the pancakes, or use the mix for any number of recipes. I love how filling they are. After I am off NS, I will order these ala carte.

Halloween coming up. We are going to give tiny boxes of raisins and little packs of goldfish. No candy!

Yummy chicken recipe

Today I ate nutrisystem food for breakfast and lunch – did dinner on my own.
Marinated chicken in some fat free yogurt with Bangkok blend spices mixed in (from Penzeys). Broiled it in the oven, delicious! Served with roasted broccoli and cauliflower, and brown rice.

Tomorrow is weigh in day!!

On a happy/sad note – I think I found a home for the stray kitty. Got a call from a woman who has several pets, but said she has a quiet home, and a large house for Moxie to be an indoor cat only. Not sure why this makes me cry – I have grown very attached to Moxie, but do want a good home for her! Will see if it really goes through.

Nutrisystem and Buddy Bucks

Well, in my flailing around, I seem to have found my focus again. I wanted to take my mind off of food for a while, so I joined Nutrisystem.
The food is decent, and it is nice to not have to think so much about what I am eating. I just grab food, add fruits and veggies and eat.
So far, I have lost about 12#.

Only have 15 more to go before I will be back in virgin fat territory!

I do feel like I have my mojo back now for losing weight.!
