Day One

The journey to seeking health and balance began anew today. It's not that I've haven't tried other methods. I have. It's not even that I haven't had some success with the others. I have. So why this? Why now?

Mae. She's sick and tired of being sick and tired and was willing to try this method. It's hard to do these alone, so I said I would try it too. What have I got to lose (besides 50 lbs)? It might work for both of us. So, supplies arrived and now we're trying the program together.

I'll be honest as I post about it and share what's happening in my body. I'll do my best to be upfront and not hold back.

Mae made her shake first. It was the "chocolate" one. Tasted pretty...boring. Not offensive. Not gritty like the ones I did before. Just boring. Flat almost. I think I know how to make it more interesting, but that's for another day. I made a "vanilla" one. I added some extracts (vanilla and coffee) and it was a little better. Texture was okay. Just boring. You have to drink these in about ten minutes. That part was hard. Fortunately, I'm really good at choking things down. It hit my tummy like a brick and felt woozy for a little bit afterward. Next I took the supplements to help my metabolism and another for stress. Like rocket fuel. I've been going all day without a hitch. Only felt a little down in the past hour and since I only ate a salad and yogurt for "dinner" that's not bad. And no coffee. Didn't need it earlier.

It's early and obviously after only one shake I cannot make any predictions yet, but I am optimistic.

We'll know in a few more weeks if it's working. I have to have blood work done. They say the program will reduce and normalize blood sugar and lower my cholesterol. The numbers may or may not lie.
