Already?

It's very frustrating that I just began my exercise program but I'm already getting sick. I've decided that since I just got started I am going to delay it until I'm feeling better since exercising while you're sick is pretty miserable. I don't feel like I'm making an excuse because I was starting to find level 1 on the 30 Day Shred to be much less challenging than it used to be, and yesterday it was so tough I had a hard time getting through it. Being weak will really take it out of you. I'll definitely post when I am re-starting the program!

I finally got my hands on the new shelf stable item. We were told LAST summer that it was coming very soon. Well, I don't have high hopes that I'll get to see any other new Nutrisystem meals while I'm on the program if this is soon!


Southern Style Biscuits & Gravy (Breakfast):



I had high hopes for this breakfast. Biscuits & gravy isn't something we get a lot in Canada but I have fond memories of it when I travel to the South. The idea of baking a biscuit in the microwave (with explicit instructions not to put it in the oven!) seemed a little odd, but I decided to give it a try.

As you can see, there is FAR too much gravy for that one poor little biscuit! I suppose I should have cut the biscuit in half to try and soak up some more of it, because although the gravy is actually very tasty, it wasn't much fun eating it with a spoon. If you have an extra carb serving for your breakfast a piece of toast would be perfect here. The biscuit comes out of the microwave looking exactly the way it does when you put it in- white. But, it does still taste pretty good, if dense. I really enjoyed the gravy, which has little bits of sausage in it- very flavourful. I am glad I ordered a couple of these because they are a nice change from the sweet breakfasts and are pretty yummy at that!
