Start of the Fifth Day

Weighed myself. No change. Still 203. Perhaps I will have to EXERCISE. :(

First order of business is to make sure I have sufficient Nutrisystem on hand so that I don't run out.

Options for buying Nutrisystem:

Costco is out for now because they say that they are "out of stock".

In looking at the Nutrisystem site itself, I can't find any inexpensive plan that doesn't involve auto-shipping every thirty days, and from past experience I know that can be hard to stop. They do apparently still have a few brick-and-mortar stores, but the nearest one is a hundred miles away.

Getting Nutrisystem through Walmart is probably the least expensive, but right now they only offer the product in 5-day packages. In our local Walmart there were only two five-day boxes available - the Jumpstart and the Diabetic. Online they also offer Homestyle, Protein Powered, and Every Day.  None of the five-day programs, though, include more than a simple 24-page booklet to explain the program. Yes, I know all that information is on the website, but I like to have something I can read without turning on my computer or iPhone.

I also see many Nutrisystem products on EBay, and this is interesting because many of the sellers appear to be intermediaries who tell you that the product will be shipped from Nutrisystem. I'll skip EBay for now.

You can find Nutrisystem on Amazon. There are private sellers offering different packages, including one optimistic seller who is trying to get $167 for a 5-day package...  Nutrisystem is also a corporate seller, and their prices are comparable to Walmart's. For now, Nutrisystem/Amazon is only offering the 5-day boxes.

I end up at QVC. They have a six-week program for $299 plus shipping, which seems reasonable. I fully expect something to go totally wrong with the order, though.

Today's planned Superfuel: Greek yogurt, non-fat milk
Today's planned Smartcarb: Rice cake, apple
Vegetable: Large raw vegetable salad with fat-free dressing

I'm getting hungry towards the end of the day, and yesterday I felt a little light-headed. I expect my body will adapt, though.
