I'm so excited! I got my transformation kit with the vita pack in the mail this morning. I was like a kid at Christmas opening everything up and looking at it. I couldn't start the day off with a shake so I am going to have one for lunch. I just mixed some Vi-Trim in with water so that I could take the AM pills from the vita pack and a Vi-Slim. I hate swallowing pills and the pills in the vita pack are like vitamins so it's gonna take me a little bit to get used to taking them at night and in the morning. The Vi-Slim pills are smaller so that is good. I was actually really surprised when I mixed the Vi-Trim in my water. I kept drinking it to see if I could tell if there was any difference but there wasn't! That's so awesome! I've tried so many diets with drink mixes that just tasted awful. I was reading all of the suggestions about healthy snacks to go along with the shakes and I for the first time in my life I am so excited about starting a diet.
I feel like this is really a program that I can work with. I have a schedule set out for myself. Work has always been a tough thing for me because my hours are always weird and I never really know when I'll have time to stop and eat lunch. I am not a morning person so I hate waking up to have breakfast before work. By the time I get home I am super tired and I just want to eat something and go to bed. Now I can mix my shakes the night before and take them with me. I don't have to stop what I'm doing to drink my shakes while I'm at work so I can actually stick to a schedule. Whenever I stop to get a bottle of water I can quickly mix some Vi-Trim in it between breakfast and lunch. I really think that anyone can make this program work with their schedule!
Ok...so enough about the products for now. Let's talk about me. That's what this blog is about, right? Ha! I'm a Leo, can't you tell? It's all about ME! I am so excited but I'm really nervous at the same time. I don't want to get my hopes up and then not lose any weight. That scares me. I've done so many different diets and I'm talking about really committed to them and didn't cheat but I only lost a few pounds while people around me lost a lot more. So frustrating. So I feel like this is really my last step before choosing to do the lap band and I really want to be successful. I will be successful! That's what I am going to start telling myself from this point forward.
Fast forward to lunch time...I had my first shake! I just did a basic 2% milk with the powder and the banana flavor mix-in. So delicious! The mix smells exactly like cake mix! It dissolved in the milk perfectly without even using a blender! I had so much energy that I grabbed my english bulldog (who could stand to lose about 10 lbs himself) and we went for a 30 minute walk around the lake! Usually when I go home for lunch I just sit on my big butt for an hour. Sometimes I eat and sometimes I don't. Even now as I'm typing this there is smoke flying off the keyboard because I am typing so fast. When I was driving back to work I almost ran down a garbage truck because he was just going too slow! I bet I could've ran to work with all of this energy! I plan to go for another walk after work, then the movies (if I can sit still) and then a nice bike ride! I just started and I have more energy than I've had in forever! It just adds to my excitement! Oh and I have severe anxiety and a lot of diets increase my anxiety and give me the shakes and make me claw myself like crazy. Not this one. I just feel like amazingly great! This is going to work....
So I am sitting at home when suddenly I start getting super hungry for some chips. I only eat 4 and then grab some pineapple slices. So proud of myself for just satisfying the craving without going crazy. Now I'm cooking dinner. My plan is to way foods that I like for dinner but in smaller amounts. I already cut out frying my foods and I use a butter substitute. I really want to try to cut out sodas. I'm down to one can of coke a day. Baby steps.
So after a nice little dinner I drank a neuro drink which was delicious. Then I went for a 30 minute walk with Jaxson. Then I went for a 30 minute bike ride. I still have so much energy it's crazy! I might go for another walk in a little bit after Jaxson cools off.
So to sum it up...I love the taste of the products. I love the way I feel. I'm not bitchy or hungry or tired. Day one has been super successful and I'm actually looking forward to day two of a diet for like the first time in my life. We'll see how good i feel after a week! And I want to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement!
