I want to be honest about everything I am doing or this blog is pointless.
Today is day three of my weight loss journey. I love WW. Yesterday was my first day of the Shakeology cleanse. I started the day with a wheatberry shake, 2 hours later had a small apple, around 11:45 made my 2nd shake and had a banana. I had 1 cup of green tea early in the morning and then just drank water. By the time I got home I was starving. I had a huge salad. After I ate the salad I started to get a headache. The headaches were kind of off and on throughout the day. So, I regret to report that I will not be going further with it for day two which would be today. The taste is too much for me. It tastes like vitamins and the aftertaste is not great. When I made my second shake yesterday I used the chocolate mixed with water and it was very frothy. The texture alone did not do so well with me. I know that a cleanse is not supposed to taste like ice cream, but I should be able to bear it. I just couldn't. Maybe I will use it as a supplement and mix it with soy or almond milk.
So, today I have begun my day with a Myoplex shake. I mix 1 scoop of Myoplex power with one cup of milk, a banana and ice. Blend and enjoy. This is 3 WW points and includes 23 grams of protein. The taste is rather good and I feel like I am drinking a malt. I am allowed 29 points per day right now with 49 flex points for the entire week. These points will go down as I get closer to my goal weight. I am looking forward to working out this morning! I am thinking I will run on the treadmill and lift some weights. My Zumba has not arrived yet or I would do that. For lunch I will have another shake and for dinner tonight we are having salmon and a nice salad.
I will be posting my first set of results on Wednesday. Until Next Time....get up and get movin!
Those shakes are really hard when you are doing the cleanse and only mixing them with water. And greenberry is an aquired taste. I hated it at first. I was able to drink it by blending it with milk, a banana and a spoonful of natural PB. I've since gotten used to it and like it plain, believe it or not. lol
ReplyDeleteAs far as the chocolate, one of my favorite ways to mix it is with Soy or Almond milk and a spoonful of peanut butter. It tastes just like a reese's cup!
In the beginning I had to get used to the richness of the chocolate so I would only use half a scoop of powder per cup of milk and I would either have one large shake a day OR divide it up into two shakes.
Try it out. I bet you will like it. ;)
