Breakfast
Protein shake: Icky. Bluech.
I might be able to choke it down if we get some ice and blend it with that. The water hubs used was cold from the tap but by the time I drank it it tasted lukewarm.
Snack
I can see why we are told to eat mid morning snacks. By 10:230 a.m. or so I was feeling shaky and thinking fondly about the chocolate in my pocket. (see previous post)
But, complication, I was stuck in a morning long meeting. So, on the pretense of a bathroom break, I snuck out to my car and snarfed down the protein bar. If I feel full I can combat my cravings, which is a good thing.
Lunch
I ate another chefs salad for lunch. The menu said stir fry but we ran out of time this morning and salad was easier to prepare.
Snack
12 almonds
peanut butter and celery
Supper
The menu for supper was, again, AWESOME!
Vegetable soup
green beans
turkey (we substituted turkey ham because we were already out of the other kind)
I loved the vegetable soup. And, despite the cilantro, which I thought might not be hubs favorite, he liked it too. I made enough for four meals for us, one cup for me, two cups for him. I froze them in individual containers all measured out for meals.
While I was waiting for hubs, who, of course, was late coming home tonight, I made butternut squash soup. Really easy. Really tasty. (I sampled) That's now in the freezer too. I Googled it and found it should freeze well. The vegetable soup should be OK too, although I am a bit worried about the zucchini. Might turn to mush. Oh well.
Exercising
Although Meadowlark warned me about plyometrics, tonight's exercise tape, I actually liked it much better than what we did last night. I'm just not a push up girl, both because I suck at them and because my knees and back ... well, they suck too.
I don't pretend to keep up with the people on the DVD and I modify like everything. Like, when they jump, I might just move or barely get air. But I'm sweating, my muscles are complaining and I am sore. I'm doing more exercising than I have for ... maybe ever. So figure it is progress.
Yay! End of day 2! Only 88 to go...

I know how you feel on this one! I am no longer going to do the plyometrics...just the cardio. My knees, and legs, and everything was miserable. Maybe later into the journey I'll switch back into plyometrics, just not now. I'm not ready for it. And I loved the turkey and gravy. Because of all of the ingredients the soups required me to make, I only did the red pepper soup...and we hated it. So, i believe we are beginning the meal proportion version of the diet instead. We'll see how that goes.
