Day 2 of Optifast

Blech!

That's all I can say about that.  It took me awhile to think of what the vanilla tasted like but I've got it now.  Pablum.  Yep, baby pablum. The smell is awful.  That is what got me the worst.  I tried to go with majority rules and get 4 boxes of vanilla and 2 boxes of the chocolate.  The theory is that you can flavour the vanilla to make it taste like just about any fruity beverage that crystal light makes in a squirty thing.  You can also use extracts for flavouring…..still icky.  I only managed 2 shakes out of the 4 that I had to have. ~~sigh~~ I of course called my mother upset and she came up with a good idea.  It will have to be spread out more through the day but to do them in shots….I'm awesome at shots.  I can do that.  This morning I thought I would give the chocolate a go.  Of course I like them better, and don't have as many.  Unfortunately because it's a prescription you're not able to switch them after you've purchased them.  Someone on one of my message boards suggested I try adding some bakers coco to the vanilla.  Hey I'll try anything.  At lunch I tried one of the vanilla's again with some pineapple coconut squirty stuff….ick.  But I got it down and now I'm already doing better today than I did yesterday.   Yay me!  I've made some sugar free jello which I'm allowed to have a 1/2 a cup of each day for later.  

The one good thing.  I'm not really hungry.  Now don't get me wrong, making Zack toast with peanut butter this morning was painful….lol….but I didn't lick my fingers so I count that as a win…..

Now I think I'll go for a walk….fine I'm going to drive the 4 wheeler to the road to nowhere and then walk from there….hey baby steps.  Rome wasn't built in a day.
