Day 2: Mid Afternoon

Damn I need to chew something.  I checked my list of available foods I can have, I'm only allowed to stray 50 calories from the food provided with the program, so I decided I can eat a whole bunch of celery. 

So I ran over to the Safeway and decided to pick some up.  It's absolutely delicious.  How scary is that?  I was excited for celery! 

Thanks to Hailey for snapping this photo, she thought it was hilarious she was there buying a sandwich and I was there with a thing of celery.  The lady at the checkout looked at me funny too. 

Day 1: Early Evening

Holy crap I'm starving.  I keep drinking water when I feel hungry.  Not going to fall off the wagon on day one, they said the first 3 days are the hardest.  I think it's more psychological than anything else, i don't actually feel like I'm missing food, I just feel like my stomach is empty.  It's really an odd feeling, my stomach is probably fairly large, and it should start shrinking soon. 

I'll post more in the about section and maybe some FAQs, I know people are interested in hearing about the food.  If others find this blog, they might be interested in learning the costs and other things.  It's definitely not cheap, I'll talk more at some point about how I think it's so very difficult for low income households to eat healthy.  It's a shame really.

Day 1: Mid Afternoon

So today I started my journey.  This will last at least 6 weeks, and Day 1 is going off without too much trouble.  I woke up this morning, excited to try my first "shake", unfortunately it didn't taste quite like the delicious chocolate shake I had envisioned.  It tasted like they made something that was good for me and then added some cocoa to it.  Which is fine, it actually tasted alright, I can drink a bunch of those.

We had a staff meeting today, and the office ordered Chipotle, everyone got a free burrito.  Today was my first test... I passed but WTF, normally we order some lame ass veggie option from some ethnicity half way across the country.  Today we order what might be my favorite fast food option.  Well that's fine, it's a good test, I passed thankfully.

So far today I've eaten a Chocolate Shake, A Crisp 'N Crunchy Fudge Graham Bar, and Cookies and Cream Bar. I have 4 "meals" left to go.  I've had a few glasses of water and I had my 1 Coke Zero that I'm allowed...  I'm going to miss Coke Zero the most.
