Shakin' It Up

Days 1-2

Andrea (& Stephanie)

For our next adventure, we decided we wanted to try something with shakes. There are a lot out there. Since Herbalife seems to be readily available and everywhere you look these days, we got our hands on a canister of the Cookies and Cream flavor. 

 Stephanie is on vacation this week, so I started without her. Although she sent me this photo of her breakfast, so I know she is participating in spirit:

I make mine out of 8oz of skim milk and 2 scoops of the mix. I stir it in my coffee cup with a fork. Not fancy, and pretty clumpy. I’m told that a small, portable blender can be purchased rather cheaply and works wonders, especially if you include ice. I will decide later on if I want to make that investment, pending purchase of a second canister of shake mix. For the time being, I’ll continue with my cream flavored milk. Besides, this way all the cookie pieces settle to the bottom, so when I finish my drink I practically have a cookie waiting for me to scoop up with my fork. 

Since we paid a pretty penny for this stuff, I’m doing my best to loosely follow the “program” as I found it online. Shake for breakfast, shake for lunch. Protein and fruit for snacks. Not eating my weight in tater tots for dinner. That kind of stuff. Oh, but as with any diet I partake in, it always includes unlimited coffee. 

And at close of business, I’m ready to go home and eat a meal.
