Day 2

Got through the first day and it really wasn't too bad. The good thing about the WW plan is that you can have real food which is a definite must for me. I actually ate steak last night. It was much smaller than what I usually eat, but it was still steak. And they have these ice cream sandwiches made by Skinny Cow which taste good. Not diet food good, real good. The Strawberry Shortcake ones are tasty and only a couple of points so I get to eat dessert too.

I walked in place for 30 minutes last night as activity. I know that this is probably not what they had in mind for your required activity but figured I better start slow or I'll get sore and unmotivated. I'm contemplating buying the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred which is getting rave reviews from about everyone. Heard it was a 20 minute workout (love that it's not too long) and it really kicks your butt. Good times.

On a lighter note, I have found my body image inspiration. Will I attain this level of physical perfection? Probably not, but it's good to hope. Her name is Nora Tobin and apparently she's a beach volleyball player. I guess it is up for debate on whether she should be considered pro or not since she hasn't really played but whatever the case may be she has become the poster child for the FRS Energy product. Literally. She's in their ads and I can see why. Crazy awesome abs. I can only imagine the number of crunches and everything else she must do. Whatever it is, it's definitely working. :) You are my idol and what I strive to achieve. You go girl!

Speaking of FRS Energy, I got suckered into buying the stuff. I blame Nora. Well, I got an introductory package which cost way more than I care to admit. The package came with the concentrate, a box of powdered mix in individual packets (think Crystal Light-style drink tubes) and a bag of vitamin chews (Blueberry Pomegranate). The concentrate was eh. It tasted like watered down tang but had that nifty vitamin aftertaste. Bleh. The upside was that it's only 10 calories. Now the chews are much better. They advise you to chew 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon for an energy boost. They still have a slight vitaminy taste but not too bad. They are a bit on the sweet side, but are much easier to take than the drink, at least in my opinion. The down side is that they are 40 calories for the 2 chews but you do get a lot of vitamins with them. The worst so far has been the powdered drink mix. I tried mixing that in a half-liter bottle of water. That was a mistake. The stuff did not dissolve, looked like some science experiment gone wrong and tasted pretty nasty. No one likes having chunks of powder in their drink. Bleh. Won't be doing that again. I think I will keep on with the chews though. We'll see if I'll be ordering them again or not. Beware of the auto-ship on this though because they immediately set you up for it with your order. To be fair, they do allow you to go in and change it if you want, but don't forget to do this if you don't want to be getting monthly shipments.
