Day 2 on Medifast
I’m not going to continue counting like this. It was also the first day of Summer School.
7:00 am- Orange Creme Shake. Very disappointed. Thought this was going to be a good breakfast alternative to my normal morning orange juice, but it was hard to drink. Not as hard as that mago juice though. The consistencey was rather chalky. I used the healthmate blender, but used a small cup so I was limited to the amount of ice I could add. Will try to make it more of a smoothie consistencly next time. Noticed recipe for making orange creamsicles too, which is how it tasted.
11:00 am- Cappacino. Very disappointed. I had really been looking forward to this one. To begin with, when I took it out of the microwave, it smelled like chicken soup. I like chicken soup, but I don’t like my coffee to smell like it. Also, the mix didn’t blend well and there were chunks of it in the crevices of the mug. Directions specifically said not to used shaker, but I do not see why not. Will try again, but not for a few days.
1:00 pm- Granola Bar. Loved this! The consistency was more of a chewy rice crispy treat, but it was good. Tasted better than a lot of granola bars I have tried.
5:30 pm- Lemon Bar. Was not as good as I remembered it last night. Icing was sweet, but actual bar had a cardboard taste to it. Jury is out pending further testing on this one.
7:00 pm- 6 oz chicken (lean) w/ 1 tsp olive oil (fats) & 1 cup green beans (green). A 3 cup serving of vegetables is WAY too much, except with salad. I think it would be a good idea to add a 1 or 1 1/2 cup sald to lunch time or just earlier in the day.
8:00 pm- Peanut Butter Bar. Gave way to craving more food psychologically. Did not need it physically. Not good bar. First bite was strong peanut butter and good. Then quickly turned to protein carboard taste.
I can definately see the stress relief in not planning meals. Grabbed a bunch of packets for my lunch box this morning with a couple extra and left. Feels good to cook meals. Need to find energy/desire/decency to clean up afterwards. This will be a better process in a clean environment.
Need to get better with water. Only had about 40 oz yesterday and today. Need to get it up to 64 oz.
