Day 11

The weekends are hard. I want to snack. I want to crunch really... and salt. I had some rice chips and a small bag of jalapeno chips. Ill have to circle the block twice tonight for it.
During the week its easy to just keep working and not eat and get home, eat a soup and a shake and go to bed.
I had no problem going out to eat the other day with someone and just having water.
I feel really good overall. I like the scale going down a little at a time.

Day 8

Yesterday at my appointment I weighed 5.8lbs less than on day 1. This morning MY scale shows me down 9lbs from day 1. Both are amazing to me. I have been doing much better at staying on track with the kids at their dads. I picked up more shakes and soups at my appointment yesterday. I got 2 chocolate, 1 strawberry, 2 tomato, and 1 chicken. I need to pick up a multi vitamin and work harder at drinking 64ozs of water and go8ng on more walks. Im looking forward to seeing the scale tomorrow.

Day 5

Yesterday I ate 1 cookie, 3 carrot sticks and 6 jalapeno chips in addition to my shakes and soups. I blame my kids, especially the younger one for driving me CRAZY! Today, being Saturday, also extremely hard to stay on track. I'm at home with the boys, younger one driving me CRAZY again.... and I'm bored. I find it hard to do anything when my youngest is home. He is constantly asking questions and moving and messing with everything. I have loads of stuff I could be doing that would help in keeping my mind off snacking but I will be driven insane while doing any of those things by my inquisitive ball of energy child. I'm also completely side tracked by thoughts relating to a recent relationship.
I had my delish breakfast shake and for a late lunch I mixed a chicken soup and vegi soup. The soups smell real gross when you are mixing them but smell yummy after being heated. That is weird. Also, I'm down another pound for a total of 6... since Monday.

Day 3/4

Started at 10am with a delish chocolate shake with cocoa powder combined with a large glass of ice and 2 shots of espresso from dunkin. Had a strawberry shake on my way home at 1pm. Enjoyed my oldests last day of elementary school... tried real hard not to cry. Had a chicken soup around 8 when I actually decided to cook dinner for my kids. At about 10pm I made another vegetable soup, this time using less water and it was MUCH better, and a vanilla shake. My stomach grumbled a bit while I was going to sleep but I was fine.
This morning my scale was down 5lbs from where its been holding for the last couple years. I will report only official weight from the docs scale but give a general for my own. Same chocolate/cocoa powder/espresso drink so far. I really do enjoy that. I brought a tomato soup and something to cook it in and a strawberry shake for the afternoon. I might try one of the shakes that is mixed with the diet soda's tonight... we'll see. So far I am having problems keeping up with my water intake but everything else is fine.

Day 2

Yesterday was mostly a wash due to not being able to get the meds so I don't get any gallstones. I picked up all the extracts and spices I thought I would use. I had one of the chocolate shakes for dinner.
Today I started with a chocolate shake with some cocoa poweder in it and stopped for 2 shots of espresso over ice. That was delish. I had a strawberry shake at lunch and it was also delish. I ended up leaving work early for a kid thing and because I had brought a vegetable soup with me... but nothing to cook it in. Fail. So I made that when I got home. I think I used too much water because it wasnt very good at all. It kinda tasted like hot water with a hint if vegetables. I decided to tey the tomato soup when I was making dinner for the boys. I used less water for that and it was yummy. I'm gonna do a vanilla shake before bed. Overall it hasn't been so bad. My stomach has grumbled a bit and I was hungry this afternoon but I think its doable.

Day 1

I weighed in at 230lbs. I purchased 1 box of strawberry, 1 of vanilla,1 of chocolate and 1 of tomato soup, 1 of vegetable soup, and 1 of chicken soup. Each box is $19.95. They gave me a list of things I can make with the shakes/soups by adding diet pops, extracts and seasonings.
I got enough to get me to next weeks apppintment. Right now this totally seems doable and I'm looking forward to the results.
