I am off to the beach for a nice beach house vacation! There will be booze, and BBQ type foods, but I am going to make sure not to eat too much crap and drink too many high calorie/sugary mixers. I’d just bring my Nutrisystem food, but I enjoy a nice meal once a week. Not to say that Nutrisystem is not nice, it’s just not something you particularly crave if you get my drift. I envision long walks on the beach,…

As I mentioned in last weeks post, I was going camping and most of the Nutrisystem food is microwavable that I receive, and obviously that wasn’t going to work. I don’t usually request lunch bars since they’re basically just chocolate, and peanut butter, which to me is not lunch but more of a dessert. So I just never request those in my orders.

I’m happy with that…

This week, I stopped at the bar and had some tacos for Taco Tuesday and a couple of margaritas. Bad idea, because they were salty as hell and caused me to bloat and go up 2 pounds the next day. EEK! This is why you should eat Nutrisystem food before you head to some place like that, because then you’re full and don’t want to eat nothing else. But, sometimes I feel like I deserve a cheat day.
