Lazy Saturday

Nutrisystem Day 4

We all got off to a late start this morning. It's a Saturday and we had nothing planned so everyone just sort of loitered. I woke Steve up at 7 and asked if he wanted to go to the gym before the girls woke up. He said yes, but we both closed our eyes and the next thing we knew it was 9:00. I worked out downstairs while everyone else watched High School Musical 52, The Senior Years and by the time 10:30 rolled around, I had a mutiny on my hands and everyone was begging for breakfast.

It's hard to be in charge of pancakes and pork roll when you're not allowed to have any, but the pain was dulled by preparing my own little packet of NS blueberry pancake mix. I didn't feel like I was missing out on a thing. The mix made two decent sized pancakes. The "blueberries" left a bit to be desired -- they were tiny little dehydrated things, but they added some flavor, nevertheless. I topped them with some sugar free syrup and gave 'em an 8.

For lunch, I made the girls sandwiches, so I joined them with a NS ham & cheese melt. It sort of reminded me of a toaster strudel. I was entitled to a dairy or protein serving with lunch, so I put a slice of lowfat swiss on top while toasting it. The sandwich was satisfying and tasty enough, though again, there seemed to be a smoke flavor additive of which I'm not terribly fond. Aside from that, I still give this meal a 7.

I took Madison and her girlfriend (also Madison) rock climbing and we were out and about for most of the afternoon. To ward off my the sugar cravings I still get from time to time, I took my dessert with me and savored it while the girls climbed. The peanut nougat bar was delicious and satisfying and it felt a little like cheating. This one gets a 9.

By the time I got home, I wasn't really hungry for dinner, so I just nibbled on some edamame and called it a night.
