Nice surprise again this morning when the scale read 193.4. Yup, it's going down. Although tomorrow it's probably going to be back up a couple of pounds. Why do I say that? Well...it's been a rough day. All day long I've felt like I was STARVING! I've been eating and eating all day and trying to make the best choices. I've also made sure to drink plenty of water today to help out with that, but that will be counteracted by the soy sauce I had with dinner. Yup, lots of soy sauce. Ok, only maybe 2-3 tablespoons of soy sauce at the most, but I didn't measure it. (I'm going to order some Bragg Amino Acid to try for soy sauce next time.) BAD! I'm ending the day with 1915 calories. Could be better, could be worse. I'm aiming for the 1700-2000 calories per day range currently and for the most part I'm doing really well with that.

Absolutely no attempt at exercise today, but I'm going to shoot to do 30 minutes of something, anything, tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning I also need to go grocery shopping. I've sat down and written out my meal plan (for dinner only) for the next two weeks and that should hopefully get me back on track for dinner again instead of just "winging it" most nights which can lead to failure. I also plan to pick up some more fresh fruits and veggies to snack on. I'm down to just apples and baby carrots and they're not cutting it. I really don't like carrots, but I've been snacking on them with some homemade ranch dip (16 oz. light sour cream with 1 packet dry ranch dressing).

I also went it and updated my Netflix queue with some more exercise dvds to try out, and mailed back a movie dvd today. Can't wait to get a new dvd to try out and see if that helps get me moving some more each day.

I still have a lot of my 35 days of Nutrisystem foods left. As of right now, I have 12 breakfasts, 13 desserts, 20 lunches and 24 dinners left. As you can see, I've definitely been eating the breakfast and dessert items. They're pretty good. I had some pretty nasty (in my opinion) lunch and dinner items and shied away from trying any more of those for a while and fixed other things for lunch, including some frozen meals. I'm back to trying them, and have found one more that I kind of liked and one that was gross. I'm just going to keep trying them and see if any more of them are any good. I am currently scheduled to have another 35 days worth ship in just over a week, and I'm going to go ahead and let that shipment mail out since it's going to be at a discounted rate still. I've already tweaked it to only include items that I've tried and will definitely eat again. I have found that storing all of the foods has been a little condundrum. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to store the food without it being in the way, or "out of sight, out of mind".
