DAY 1 on the Total Lean Shake by GNC

I'm an on the go woman. I have a family, a 45 hr a week, sometimes traveling, career. I sit at a desk almost 9 hours a day. EEK. Nutrition and making sure I have my nutrition correct is something that is always stressing me out. If I'm not thinking about my waist line, I'm worried about what I ate, what I have to eat, shopping for it, (continued rant).

Fed up with the cycle of insanity, I decided to give GNC Total Lean shake a go. I wasn't into doing the whole program, maybe in the future but as for now the shake is fine.

Last week, I picked up the "Chocolate Swiss" Total Lean Shake at Rite Aid. Thanks to my nifty Gold card and the 20% wellness discount I get, I picked it up for about $22.00.

I decided to replace 1 meal per day with shake. This is my journey.

Start weight: too fucking fat. So we'll say size: 12.

Height: 5'9.

Activity Level: 3-4 times a week, 1-2 hr sessions, cardio + weights.

Since I started my journey a week ago, but, just started this blog, I will put in my days up to today in multiple entries, so ignore the date posted and pay attention to the titles.






DAY 1: Friday, July 6th, 2012.

I decided to mix the shake w/ water the first day. I was at work and was mixing it into a cup w/ water. The texture was THICK. I think it was the first time I've ever chewed a drink. The taste wasn't half bad, but, the texture was new to me. During the day it caused bloating, but, went away a few hours later. I felt pretty good, and made it to lunch eating very little. That night, we did take out. I had originally ordered stuffed peppers, but, the cook had messed up and I ended up with Chicken Parm. It was great, but, I ate very little of it. I'm not a fan of white pasta.
