NutriSystem - Day 8

Ok, today I let myself down.  This was the first day I actually cheated.  Twice. The first was totally within my control and a bad choice (m&m cookie after lunch) the second, I did the best I could but went out to dinner (already planned and you can't live life in a bubble) and the menu was not diet-compatible. I did the best I could with a salad but it came with a ton of shredded cheese on it (which I tried to pick through) it was huge (I only ate about 1/8 of it) and they had no light dressings.  Argh.

Breakfast:

• NS Blueberry Flavored Pancake Mix
  
• Syrup - 1Tbls

Still like em.  Not much else to say.

Morning Snack:

• String Cheese
  
• Starbucks Decaf + Mocha/Caramel (one pump ea)
  

Lunch:

• NS Fettuccine Alfredo
  
• M&M cookie
  

Yeah.  Cookie.  Freakin weekend.  

Afternoon Snack:

• String Cheese
  

Dinner:

• Garden Salad w/ Shredded Cheese & Chicken
  
• Ranch Dressing (1 Tbls)
  
• Diet Pepsi

This was where things continued to go downhill.  The most "diet" thing I could find on the menu was the buffalo chicken salad. I ordered it without blue cheese, used only one small strand of chicken and left the other two, ordered the dressing on the side, and only ate less than 1/4 of the salad.  I didn't have any NS entree to try and do everything I could.

Dessert:

• NS Chocolate Chip Cookie
  

Ok this was better than the double chocolate almond one.  Almost like a real cookie, but again, it still had that weird silghtly vanilla/sweet/bitter aftertaste.
