G’day, and welcome to day two.
After the excruciating agony of getting up this morning at 6:30, I actually felt pretty good. Coincidence, Isagenix, or something else? Who knows. Too early to say yet.
I prepared this morning’s chocolate shake with about a tablespoon of peanut butter. It made the overall taste better. Not good, but better. Tomorrow perhaps I will add peanut butter and some banana. Drank that Ionix Supreme stuff, which is going to get old pretty quick I think, but at least it’s the size of a shot. I’ll pretend it’s tequila.
And I even went to the gym this morning. I got there much later than expected, because I spent 40 minutes on hold with my car insurance company to make sure that I do in fact have insurance and am not driving illegally. I was worried since I’ve not received a policy statement, certificate or the like from them, nor have they taken any payments out of my bank account. Good news, I am insured! Let’s hope it continues to be free — that would be awesome. Anyway, I briefly considered abandoning the gym due to being 40 minutes behind schedule, but figured it was better to go to the gym for a shorter time than not to go at all. So, in my 20 minute, ever increasing incline, brisk walk on the treadmill I apparently burned 281 calories, if one can trust the treadmill’s calculations, which I’m pretty sure I don’t. But still.
The good news today is that the shake kept me full much longer. I drank it around 7am and was pretty much fine until shortly after 11am, at which point I ate a piece of cheese (90 calories). Being at work and having a routine helps I think. Lunch today is a PC Blue Menu Chicken Lasagna (360 calories). I’ve also added SlimQuick to the mix. I’m using the packets, mainly because it helps me drink the required amount of water (I’m sorry, I just don’t like to drink plain water unless I’m at the gym) and on the few times that I’ve used it before, I have felt less hungry.
Late this afternoon I got pretty hungry again, so I had another piece of cheese and a few strawberries. Dinner was a vanilla shake with a couple strawberries blended in, which was pretty tolerable. However, I’m now completely starving. So, I had a piece of cheese and one of those little tiny cans of tuna. I figure today’s calorie count is somewhere around 1400.
One thing that I know will be hard about this program is not being able to real food for dinner. Now I know I could probably take the shake at lunch instead, but that would be hard as well — I prefer to have real food at work for some reason. But watching the bf eat his pan seared fish and rice last night was a bit tough to take. Maybe I’ll get used to it. And on weekends I might do the shakes at breakfast/lunch, just so I can have a dinner for a change.
