Nutrisystem Arrived!

My Nutrisystem order finally showed up yesterday!  I am so, so excited to get this ball rolling!  I stayed up late last night reading through the Getting Started guide and meal plan book, and I have to say that I am loving this more and more.  There are so many more supplemental foods that I can eat than I thought.  I had this idea in my head that I was really only going to be able to eat the Nutrisystem food and then fruits and vegetables, but that is not the case at all.  For instance, I went grocery shopping yesterday with my Nutrisystem shopping guide in hand and bought fruits and veggies (no surprise there), and then was able to buy several types of low fat string and wedge cheese (yum), popcorn, sugar free jello, low fat yogurt, low sodium V8,  and whole grain english muffins.  What's crazy is that there was so much more that I COULD have bought!  So far, I'm really thinking that I can stick with this for the long haul and actually lose all the weight that I want, and need, to.  I don't plan to bore you with all of the details of my diet, but I'll share with you my menu for the day.

Breakfast - Nutrisystem Turkey Ham & Cheese Omelet (was very good)
                  Yoplait Strawberry Non Fat Yogurt

Morning Snack - Yoplait Blueberry Non Fat Yogurt (was gonna have a cheese stick but I forgot to bring it to work with me)

Lunch - Nutrisystem Lunch
             String Cheese
             Veggie of some king - probably bell peppers

Afternoon Snack - Cutie Orange & Apple Slices
             Low Sodium V8

Dinner - Nutrisystem Dinner
             Veggie - Cucumber with salt-free lemon pepper
              Whole Grain Roll or English Muffin w/ low fat cream cheese

Dessert - Nutrisystem Dessert

Even though I haven't really played around with it enough to have a lot of variety yet, you get the idea.  Plus, I don't know for sure yet because I haven't been on this diet for a whole day yet, but this seems like a lot of food.  And even if I did get hungry, I can have unlimited coffee, tea and diet soda (sweetened with calorie free sweeteners), and/or 3 servings of popcorn, or sugar free jello.  I also think I left out at least one serving of veggies from my daily list.  Anyway, I will definitely be keeping you posted on my progress and my ups and downs with the diet.
