God I totally hate these protein shakes. I knew they were going to be an issue for me. Ive never liked any kind of "diet" shake. They just taste like crap to me. I know I need to get protein into my body. I've managed to get 1oz down today. Yesterday I was able to get 2oz down. Today, im shooting for 3oz. That really isn't a lot I know. But see, you cant just gulp it down. To learn to sip and drink slowly, I use a 1oz medicine cup. That 1oz cup should take me 15 minutes to drink. When its something you don't like, thats torture! So I take one sip of protein shake, and then a sip of crystal light to wash it down lol. I am really hoping by time I move to mushy foods that I will have a good idea of foods I can eat that are high in protein so I can eliminate these shakes. If you have any ideas, throw them my way!
Im still blown away by how fast this weight is coming off. I weighed in this morning at 352. I know that once I start on mushy foods and eventually solids, that the number will slow and possible go up for a brief period. But wow! I thought my goal of getting to 350 by my appointment on Monday was unrealistic. I guess not!
On another note, we start our training to become foster parents tonight! I am so excited! We have been looking forward to this for a long time and its finally here! All the classes will be completed this month. Im not sure what all happens next but I know we cant be too far off from being licensed! Its very exciting!

I just wanted to let you know that I'm proud of the progress that you've made! You so got this!
ReplyDelete(If this still applies) Do you have to drink a special shake, or any of the ones in the stores? I'm asking because I'm with you on how gross they are, but I did find one once that wasn't bad at all (just expensive, because they didn't come in a case). Nestle Sweet Success Weight Loss Shake, I bought the stuff already made up in a single serving can, but I guess now you can buy the powder stuff, too. (this really was years ago) Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI would have a problem sipping 1 ounce for 15 minutes! I'm a glupper, to be sure.
WTG on your progress so far!
