Random Musings Of Day 2

Day 2 -27 days left! Made it through day 1!

My workout partner didn't show up yesterday and I was too lazy to work out by myself. Even after Matt offered to work out with me.

I just felt most blah yesterday. Every time I went into the kitchen I got more and more depressed everywhere I looked there was food I couldn't eat. It wasn't the actual replacing meals with shakes part. It was the whole I can't snag a snack thing. I made some hard candy the other day to go on top of a cake, there was a lot left over and I've been picking at it all week. And not even thinking I almost reached my hand into the box once again. WHOOPS!

I've also got this enormous headache. So I'm not really being witty today. I'm sorry maybe tomorrow. I get these headaches and they last for days sometimes weeks. And this is the start of that season for me. And I'm trying so hard not to attribute them to the diet. And really I can't because I had this headache the day before the diet started! OK enough of the whining.

Someone asked me for my opinion on the shakes. Well these aren't bad. Really, I'm not just saying that. These are supposed to be the best on the market. Matt did all of the research. The normal ones are gritty and you end up having to chew all of the sand and grit that have fallen to the bottom of the cup. But this powder is fine almost like cornstarch or babypowder, that consistency. So when you blend them with the milk or the water (I use 8 oz of milk and 1 scoop, DH uses 2 scoops and water) they really blend. It also could be the blender but even the chunks (when I don't blend it long enough) are smooth so I really don't think that's it. I also like to blend mine for longer than necessary. The reason is, is that it gives it a whipped texture. So since it's doubled in volume, it seems like you're getting more and gives it a milkshake like taste. I say milkshake like.... because no matter what you never forget you're not drinking the real thing.

So since it's Saturday and there's no workout scheduled. I'm going to laze around. Try to get rid of my headache and pretend I'm eating real food.
