Day 2
WOOF.
Yesterday was okay. Transitioning so quickly from food to protein shakes...I think I'm still in shock. It took me FOREVER to finish just 1 shake yesterday. I'm really supposed to have 3, but I could barely finish 1! I didn't have any salad, I drank like 2 liters of water and had my allotted amount of protein--4oz.
Today I shook up a vanilla concoction, that probably should never be shook again. VANILLA SHAKE, MY ASS! This thing tasted sickening sweet and there was no vanilla about it. I made the colossal mistake of sniffing it after I made it. Pew pew! I mean seriously?! Okay, maybe it wasn't that bad. Maybe I just shook so much I had a self induced seizure and it messed with my taste buds?
Have any of you out there tried whey protein shakes? Am I being a brat, or are they supposed to taste like this?! I've heard of people mixing like a 1/4 cup of fruit with their shakes, I might just have to try it. Good thing I opted to get more chocolate shake mix than vanilla. Musta been my melty senses...

Anyway, it's my 7 off this week. I work a shift that is bananas. Most of you would probably kill for it. I work 7on/7off, meaning I work 10am-9pm Wed-Tues and have the following Wed-Tues off. I've been really good about not cheating and stuff, because I'm at home this week. I'm a little worried what will happen when I go back for my week on. Despite the fact everyone will probably be up in my business asking me what's in my bottle, or what I'm mixing up. I guess I could always just make them sniff the bottle, they'd probably leave me alone after that.
I spent some time with my mom today, ugh that was splendid. Trying to explain your diet and regiment to a stubborn headstrong Asian woman is impossible. My parents really don't understand this method to madness. All they really understand is that their baby girl is fat and she needs to get on the treadmill.
In some time, I think they'll see that this is working just fine for me.
Thao thao...I am very proud of you. I am sure it is not easy, actually I KNOW it isn't easy! Being around food you are not suppose to eat. Keep it up my friend. I know you can do it! Love ya
ReplyDeleteI don't know about whey protein....buy tried using Silk to make hollandaise sauce the other night and it turned into this way too sweet cake batter concoction instead of the savory sauce I was going for. No bueño. Rule to live by: Vanilla anything never tastes as good as chocolate something! I'm glad to covered the parents take in this. I was waiting to see what mom was going to say. I'm surprised she hasn't tried to sneak in an egg roll into your shake, lol!
ReplyDeleteHan, my mom is bananas. After I told her I couldn't eat rice, she totally flipped her skittles! "WHAT KIND OF DIET IS THAT?! YOU'RE GOING TO PASS OUT, WHAT KIND OF DOCTOR ARE YOU SEEING, WHY CAN'T YOU EAT RICE!!!!!" (All in Vietnamese of course, juht-mauh-uye!) yep...she acted the same way when I tried go vegetarian--lost it! She doesn't understand it, but it's ok because I do. My dad of course has no comment, but I made him whiff my shake! Bahhh hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteSue! Thanks for the support, I totally understand what you go through now! Love ya!
