Dishes Are So Much Easier Now


Doing dishes are so much easier now. Just wash a blender cup and go. And since Matt and I only have one blender cup each for a while (I ordered extras from Target) Clean up is necessary part of the diet. You can't just leave your cup around for the Kitchen Elves to clean it up in the morning. You still need it 4 more times before morning comes.

Some people have mentioned. "I don't think I could do this diet" This is the easiest diet in the world. Because there's no thinking. I don't count calories. I don't have to figure anything out. I just drink the shakes and eat 1 meal. That's it. My 1 meal can't have any carbs. Last night we had hamburgers. And as I pointed out to Matt hamburgers without bread is called Meatloaf in most parts of the USA. The night before was chicken and salad. I haven't felt deprived. I haven't felt hungry too much and every time I felt hungry, I checked the clock and oh it's time for another shake.

Since the start of this, the only thing I've felt changed other than a primarly liquid diet has been the snacking thing. And my energy during my workout today. I did my normal weight training... (all 3 sets of 10 except for deadlift and that's 3 sets of 5) Squats 95lbs, Deadlift 135lbs, Hip Sled 180lbs, Leg Extentions 50lbs and stairs. And that all felt normal. Then I did my cardio.... that's when I felt really weak. I did my speed bag and the bag was so deflated that I couldn't do my normal 5 minutes. So I thought OK I'll just do 10 of kickboxing instead. I don't know if it was the lack of my normal workout partner or my loss of the speedbag or what. But I was really flagging. Matt says it's because of the low carbs. But we'll see.

  1. I actually went to the "diet" session of the supermarket, before heading to the gym today. I was looking around for the "whey" protein. Who knew there were so many. I am seriously considering doing this. I am working out 5 times a week, so how hard can it be. As it is between work, daycare, gym, gym-daycare and home i have not time to eat. :-)
    going to do some research on them and we'll see.
    I would love to have just a cup to wash. :-)
