I am just completing day 3 of my diet program, and so far its been "a piece of cake." The program consists of a minimum of 3 shakes or puddings each day, two entrees, and at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables. Easy as pie right? I was a little discouraged after the first shake. I tried to make a banana strawberry smoothie, but had difficulty tolerating the texture of it. I'm such a delicate blossom. Today I tried a chocolate shake and didn't add anything to it. It was slightly thicker than chocolate milk, but tasted quite good. I'm amazed at how good the entrees are. Unfortunately they are very high in fiber, and most contain a lot of beans. Poor Oscar has taken to sleeping on top of the blankets at night for his own safety.
After just two days on the program I was down 9 pounds this morning. I don't expect to continue at this pace, but it's nice to get things off to a quick start. The hardest part has been not picking at Lexi's left overs. She had pizza tonight, and it's killing me to not eat the remaining two pieces. I should just throw them out, but there are people starving in other countries. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. I'm so pleased to say "I'm melting, melting!"

ReplyDeletePoor Oscar!! :)
ReplyDeleteOscar might like the pizza...then he might forgive you for all the beans :)
ReplyDeleteIf you havn't already, you might want to up your water intake. It will make all that extra fiber in your meals a lot more tolerable and Oscar should be able to snuggle back under the covers. (Dt. Dew and water...NOT the same thing. lol!)
