Fluctu-whatta?!

Some days, I REALLY hate the scale.

Went to my appointment today, only to find that I gained the three pounds back. WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST! A few months back I had an awful time with my water weight fluctuating. Welp, looks like we meet again you nasty evil little monster! 

I was super bummed out. I'm sure that I'll be able to lose the three pounds by next week, if not more--because hey! I've already been down this road before. Nevertheless, it's totally frustrating. The first time I faced it, I really wanted to give up. Luckily my persistence got the best of me and I stuck with the program. Jim has done really well, and that's just one more person I don't want to let down. Especially since I got him doing the program as well! 

Onto the next challenge of the day...dreaded lemon raspberry shake. So I have big issues with expectations of things. I sniffed the bottle, which I DO NOT RECOMMEND. Whey protein has a very distinct smell to it, and it's not really an appetizing one to say the least. Tami told me to just shake the damn thing up and get over it. I shook it up, and let it sit for a few minutes. Waited, waited then waited until she yelled at me again. First reaction, not so bad. The WEIRD thing about it, the AFTER TASTE IS BETTER than the initial sip. CRAZY RIGHT?!

See what I mean? This freaks me out. Something that taste like this, should NOT look like this. When I think "smoothie", I think frosty frozen blend of deliciousness. It's the whole mind over matter thing I need to get a grip on. That being said, these could totally taste like hot garbage juice and then where would I be?! Probably back on the road leading me to more poor decisions and beating myself up. After all is said and done, I REALLY think it's time that I invest in a blender to take to work. I'd really like to get a Ninja, however I'm positive that someone would jack it there. Actually, I know so! I've had shit taken there from me, that you wouldn't even dream of being even worthy of stealing. At this point, I'm thinking I should just get a Magic Bullet. They already have the little drink cups and I can store and wash it out easily there. Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. 


I stuck the lemon raspberry into the freezer so it would get a bit icy. NOPE...not doing that again. Blending is definitely the way to go. Tressa says that it's definitely a taste that you have to get used to. I trust her judgement and know she'd never steer me wrong. I'm just going to have to nerd it up, and experiment with more flavor combos to see what I can come up with!
