Day 2 Liquid Diet

Dec 01, 2010

OK, need to buy bigger glasses to hold the protein shakes.  Since Richard (the hubba) is also doing a shake with me at dinner time, I need to empty the blender.  But the glasses I have don't hold but 10 oz.  Even though I'm using 1/2 cup milk and ice cubes, the volume is bigger than the glass will hold, thus I had to have him drink down some so I could pour more into the glass, to empty the blender so I could start on my shake.   By the time I got done blending my supper, he was finished with his.   Hubba, needed another shake at 7:30 ish, I held out for my second until 8:30.

I did perfectly yesterday, drinking a shake for breakfast, at 10, at lunch, at 3, for dinner, then about 8:30.  Still went to bed with a rumbly tummy.  Per my diary, I only had about 800 calories yesterday, so that's probably the cause.  I'm gonna make all my shakes with milk today, to up my calorie count to the 1000 target.  I'm also going to buy some tomato soup... My favorite.

I'm having a hard time staying off the scale.  I want to weigh only 1/week, I don't want to be obsessed about a number.  I've chosen Saturday to weigh.  That way, I see the good effects of my week's efforts (it's easier to be good on weekdays), and I have time to recover from any bad behavior on weekends (not that I plan on being bad).  Anyway, It's not working, I've been on the damn scale every day this week.  Hopeless.

Thinking about prepping the house for my surgery and getting completely ready for Christmas, so I don't have to do a thing post surgery except rest.
