Day 114: FRANKENSTORM

Hi everyone, it's been a little bit since I had the chance to write. I've been on the good track with the shake and the more you stick with it, you can see the weight start to peel off. I really do love this meal replacement.

I tried the pre-made shake the other day and wasn't to keen on it. I think it was overly sweet and had that protein shake funk that you don't get when you mix it yourself in the blender. I think it's okay for an emergency shake moment, but, on the reg. I wouldn't recommend it. Take the extra time and shake it yourself.

So I have the shake down pretty well, there's another element I'm having problems with---and that's my workout. I have been so bored at the gym recently. I want to mix things up, but. the class schedule at my gym is very unaccommodating. If I want to take cardio-kick, it starts at 6pm, which means I wouldn't get home until 7:30, not easy when there's homework to get done and dinner on the table. I'll figure it out. I'm looking forward to day light savings time ending so I can get that extra hour in and still hit the gym early. What once was getting up at 6 am will be 5am without losing sleep. I don't like winter, but, I sure do like the sleep!

I have a hurricane headed my way and if the Frankenstorm hits, I'll have no power for a few days, which makes everything, including mixing my shake, hard. I'll have to figure it out! It's suppose to be one hell of a storm, stay tuned to my channel I'll let you know all about it. Or I'll be out like Dorthy and you won't here from me again.

Check you later :)

DAY 100: What's the NEWS?!

It's been 100 days since I started my journey approximately 3 months, 10 days. The journey has been bumpy, my job adding the most stress. But, things are starting to look up for the better.

I sit here tonight alone in my hotel room in Chicago, without my shake. I couldn't bring it with me on the plane for fear of the TSA ripping it apart and contaminating my shake or throwing out. That brought to light a whole new obstacle with dealing with shake and traveling. I couldn't bring my blender either...so what to do?

I'm hoping to find a GNC around here that I can maybe get some pre-made shakes or a Riteaid with a GNC seeing how I have to go anyway because I have no hairbrush, deodorant OR my medicine. YAY travel.

In the future I will have to determine a way to bring my shake with me. Maybe get one of those small bullet blenders? Figure out a way to get the shake on the plane. I would put it in my checked baggage of course. I just don't want one of those "TSA has Raped Your Suitcase" notices.


In other news, I couldn't be happier that I am back on the Swiss. I'm losing weight again, have more energy, etc. etc. I was bad this week though and didn't drink my shake since Tuesday. It's been hectic getting ready for this trip. I know that's not an excuse, but, stress is a huge road block for my fitness. The first step to fixing it is to realize you have a problem, right?

My boyfriend recently secured a good job, so that takes some stress off of me being the only income in the household.

I feel like I'm putting myself back together, surely, but slowly.

Tomorrow I'm waking up and hitting the hotel's fitness center. Get my swag on before I go set up this tradeshow. After "work" than I'm going to site-see chicago for a little bit.

Well good night all.
