Liquid Diet

Mar 07, 2009

I was all gung ho over this and told myself I could be strong and do this with no problems. Well this liquid diet is awful, I have been doing it, but can not stand the smell of the slim fast. It reminds me of baby formula. Anyway, so I was talking with some friends and brainstorming options  to the limited flavors offered. I already have to put ice in it in a blender to make it more palatable and trick myself into thinking it is a milk shake. But the notebook said we could have whatever no calorie unsweetened drink we wanted. So I bought some of the single drink mixes of the crystal light. And dump it in the blender with my ice and slim fast, it actually tastes pretty good and gets rid of the formula smell. Obviously you can only do this with the vanilla, but the chocolate I can handle if blended with ice.

So the Orange crystal light makes it tastes like orange dreamsicles, very tasty in the AM. The strawberry is very good, much better than the actual strawberry slim fast, and they have a new Cherry Pomengranate, that is absolutely delicious. So even though I would oh so love to have a steak or any piece of meat right now, not really craving anything else. I am getting by with my alternatives.

I had to call Margie yesterday, because I miss chewing on things, I was so relieved when she said I could have anything from the week 1 menu as well. Didnt think I would ever be so excited to eat SF Jello and chicken broth as I was yesterday.

Only 7 days left to go. I think if I can make it past this weekend I am good to go.
