Today was my first day on the nutri-system plan. For breakfast I had a banana nut muffin, hard boiled egg, and a banana. For lunch I had chicken and pasta in cacciatore sauce. For dinner I had penne pasta with chicken in Alfredo sauce and a spinach salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. And for dessert an ice dream bar.
So far, all the food has been pretty tasty. The portions are small, but that was expected. I'm sure my sense of a normal portion is way out of whack from years of indulging in the typical American super-sized meal. I really haven't felt hungry and I didn't have one of the snacks for the day, or all the vegetables that were allotted either. I had to go grocery shopping for all the fresh stuff, which I didn't have the chance to do until just before dinner. All in all, I'm liking the plan so far.
When I got home from my last massage, I still had to get my exercise in. It was so nice outside, so I decided to ditch the treadmill and run in the fresh air. It started to rain a bit, but it actually felt really good. It made me feel alive and powerful somehow. I am finding that running in general has that affect on me. Maybe it is because running is something I always felt I wasn't able to do, and now I am doing it! That feels good!
