I couldn't get the slideshow to load.... so this is the main picture.
It finally arrived. With some apprehension on my part and excitement from my husband... we open the box. And inside lay $150 dollars worth of protein powders and a free t-shirt. It had better give us a free t-shirt. As much money as we spent on all this stuff. Matt swears that it tastes 1000 times better than the stuff that we can get in town. And when I say in town I really mean at Walmart since that is our only place to shop! I've never even tasted this stuff and I've just committed me and my wallet to consuming this powder for the next 28 days. OH SWEET HEAVENS WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO!!! I literally got a lump in my throat as I told my husband to order this stuff. And I cried. I very rarely cry. (I rarely have a true need to cry) I see this as my only option, short of surgery that I can not pay for or justify.
The box contained:
10lbs of Vanilla Protein Powder (that's the large black bag with the word WHEY on it)
2lb tub of Banana Cream flavored Protein Powder
500 Capsules of Psyllium Husk (fiber caps)
2- boxes of a variety pack Protein Powder (16 different flavors)
Free T-shirt
And a sample pack of a preworkout drink that got taken by Matt's workout partner.
2 protein laced chocolate chip cookies. (I can only imagine what those things taste like)
So the nitty gritty bits of the diet.
Meal 1- Shake Blended. 1% Milk and 1 scoop of protein powder. (I bought one of those personal blenders just for this at Walmart) & Coffee with sugar and creamer. We're graciously calling that Breakfast
Meal 2- Shake Blended. 1% milk and 1 scoop of protein powder. Again that's "Lunch"
Meal 3- Shake Blended.... You get the idea. Do I need to spell it out in painful detail?
Meal 4- Protein 8oz & 1 cup of green veggie. (yea something I can chew) Dinner
Meal 5- Shake Blended.
Along with each shake I need to take 2 fiber capsules so that I can help "digest" all of the yummy shakes that I get to drink my fill of. And fish-oil, vitamins, and my blood pressure pills with the last meal of the day. (aren't I just the lucky girl?)
So the diet starts on Monday! Today Matt and I took the boys out to Dairy Queen for ice cream. We're treating this week sort of like our last hurrah before crackdown!
You rock honey. I'm proud of you already (but you probably knew that). Here's to 28 days of tough for a lifetime of better.

ReplyDeleteI know you don't know me, but I lurk on iVillage and have an MM. I wish you a lot of luck in trying to lose weight. I follow the diet I listed above, lost 30 pounds in a month without exercising. I have learned so much about nutrition and food and why even though we exercise and eat a lot fibre that we are still overweight. A high fat, low carb diet is really the best way to go. Good luck!
