1 1/2 Day Left Til The Dreaded Diet

You know how when you get ready for the cold water of the first swimming session of the season? You KNOW it's gonna be icy cold, but it's sooo hot outside and the water looks so cool and inviting? That's kinda what this feels like. It's lurking on the edge of my mind. All day doo doo (insert Jaws theme song here) doo doot, doo doot. I want to jump in and just go ahead and get it over with, BUT I know it's gonna be painful so I want to stall out as long as I can.

So Matt and I decided we'd start on Saturday. Because of Matt's job (he's a pastor) weekends are kind of crazy for us. So making meals isn't normally a high priorty for me anyway. Normally I through something in the crockpot on Sat afternoon and we nosh on it after church on Sat night. But Sunday mornings are normally weird. I don't normally eat a breakfast unless my sweet and loving husband manages to find time to pack me a breakfast burrito and put it on the dashboard of the car so I can eat while we drive. So this diet will actually help me in that regard. Put the shake in the blender and throw it in the car and go!

I did get the cutest blender this week. It's a Hamilton Beach Single Serve blender thing that I just throw the powder and the milk in there and blend. The top is also the lid for the cup so it's got a spout that I can just drink from. For less than $20 at Walmart. If you're thinking of this diet I strongly recomend this way to go. Otherwise you're chewing the powder clumps that are left in the bottom of the cup. (yum, NOT)

So we also managed to talk my workout partner into this diet too. I'll just call her A for her privacy. I won't be posting her measurements and Matt's will be on his own blog. http://holbee.blogspot.com/ If you guys want to get his side of the story. But picture day will start tomorrow. We'll take the before pictures along with measurements of all of the body parts. We'll also measure once a week so at day 7, 14, 21, & 28.

I also want to thank everyone who has given me such kind words. I'm grateful to have you all in my life. I want to thank you guys before I turn into a raging she-beast after being deprived of the ability to chew for the next month.
