I started the NutriSystem foods yesterday. Some of the foods are impressively good...others are just okay, but I'm keeping track of what I like and don't like. In addition to the foods they provide, you have to add in some of your own, like veggies, "smart carbs" (which include fruits, starchy veggies, whole grain breads, etc), and "powerfuels", which are high-protein foods like dairy, peanut butter, etc.
Last night I spent some time prepping foods, like chopping veggies and such, and put them into small containers so they'd be easy to grab or pack in lunches.
Also last night, even though I didn't feel like it, I went for a run. I ran to the Y and back, a total of somewhere between 1.5 - 2 miles.
I'm probably going to take tonight off from working out, and tomorrow morning I teach karate, so I'll go an hour early and get a good workout in, with burpees, pushups, crunches, and some attempted pullups.
After the regular class, there is sparring, so that will also be a good workout. Then I may go to the Y and do some weights, if I still have the energy.
Tomorrow (Saturday) I'm going to try to be good, but I'm not going to worry too much about it. I'm going to watch football, so I'll have some beer and snacks. I am going to make homemade salsa, so at least the snacks should be healthier. Sunday I'll get a good workout in and will follow the eating plan. Monday morning will be weigh-in day.
