First with the good news. My friend Nicole was really nice and gave me a scale. It's digital and, more importantly, it's accurate. Like the Wii, it measures in kilograms so I'll just multiply it by 2.2 and round off to get pounds.
On Tuesday evening I took my weight and measurements and discovered a few things. One is that I really need to find a safe spot for my tape measure (after spending 1/2 hour trying to find it). Next is that my camera weighs about 400 grams, which throws the scale off if I'm holding it while weighing myself. And lastly, now I realize just why my jeans have felt a bit tight lately.
Upper arm 11"

Before Pictures - yes those are Christmas trees still decorating the door.
Making the Shake - I could have just made it up in my shaker bottle but we got that little blender for Christmas (the kids love making smoothies) so I figured I'd use it. I will say here that the directions say that the shake powder can be mixed with either water or skim milk. I'm using 2% milk. Space in our fridge is at a premium and we buy 2% for the family so I'm using 2% as well. It's day one and already I'm changing the experiment slightly but that's just how it is.
First Impressions - The shake tastes pretty good and is surprisingly filling. It's easy for breakfast. I just have the vanilla flavour right now. I'll try out the chocolate and strawberry flavours at some point too to see how I like them.
I love the chocolate and heat it up for a hot chocolate. It is such a treat. thanks for letting me share the challenge with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I've been wondering how they would be heated up. Now I'm excited to try it out.
