Day 1 - So far, so good

Mar 04, 2010

It's 5:30 pm and I've eaten 932 calories today: all of them liquid. And you know what? It hasn't been THAT bad. I'm sure the first few days will be the worst as far as being hungry goes and after that I'll probably get tired of the same stuff, but I'm encouraged by the facts that a) I'm not going out of my mind, b) I've been able to work and concentrate reasonably well, c)I'm not all that much more hungry than I am when I eat normal solid food, and d) I'm really looking forward to a chocolate/peanut butter/banana smoothie for dinner tonight.

Life is good! I'm not counting calories for any reason except my own curiosity to see how much liquids it takes to keep me full and functional.  And on top of all this, someone put out a tray of gourmet brownies that I had to pass by all day every time I walked anywhere and I wasn't tempted in the slightest.  I'm going to wholefoods after work to stock up on more whey powder, soups, and maybe some different juices. 

Oh, and I tried special k protein water mix and it wasn't that bad but the 5 grams of protein did not in fact "take the edge off" my hunger like the box promises.

1 day (almost) down and 12 more to go as I forge towards my "lucky" day. It's gonna be St. Patrick's day after all.
