Day Thirty-One: Orange Creme Bar is a Hit and a Miss

Orange Creme Bar from Nutrisystem

It's safe to say that after a month on this diet, Husband and I are a bit tired of it. I'm dying to eat whole food rather than processed meals all day. We trudged along halfheartedly on Saturday. I made Fiber One pancakes for breakfast (half as many as we normally have), and we actually used syrup! I used light syrup, and I left it out for Husband so hopefully he had it too instead of his usual pure maple syrup.

Today was a long day of work in the yard, but the pancakes kept me full until lunch at 1 p.m. We worked off a lot of calories, so we were starving by dinner time. We ate our leftover pizza for dinner, and I made cabbage (they don't go together well, but that was all that we had left in the house).

After eating dinner, we decided to go grocery shopping to restock our supply of produce and protein. The trip did not take long, and we stopped on the way home for dessert from our favorite shop that has non-fat, low cal, no carb, no milk soft serve ice cream. That hit the spot! We didn't let our eating slip out of control by devouring too much food so maybe we're both growing accustomed to controlling our cravings.

We've been having Weight Watcher ice cream bars or CarboLite for dessert lately. The Nutrisystem ice cream selection leaves something to be desired. They send everyone the same ice cream orders, so we ended up with several Orange Creme Bars. Husband and I are not enticed by fruit ice cream, so I gave my parents one each when they last visited. My mom really liked it! She is so lucky because I recognized how much she liked them and decided to save all the other Orange Creme Bars left in the freezer for her!
