Diet Update

The drinking has been going well actually... to my surprise. Turns out Gatorade is working out with me and I don't have any issues drinking it. Some days my stomach is upset so I do not drink any or much at all but most days I drink at least 12 oz and that is very good compared to the 3-6 I used to drink.

I am now eating only a light lunch, this is because I want to avoid my stomach getting upset at work (it tends to do that a lot). My lunch well... snack really, is either a fruit roll-up, a granola bar, some crackers or a combinations of two of those. 

I have been eating around 500-800 calories for dinner each day so depending on the day I have been eating about 800-1100 calories a day.

Yesterday I felt like my pants were really lose so I weighed myself at Publix and turns out I did not lose weight at all, I am still at 120 lbs. I just can't seem to get rid of these last 9 lbs. I know if I exercise that will more than likely do the trick, but honestly I don't have it in me. I don't have the time nor do I have the energy. I know that is a pathetic excuse, but I honestly do.not.have.it.in.me. Right now. Maybe in the future I will get back to walking a ton.

Since I have been drinking so much Gatorade, Anthony and I have been sampling all the flavors. Some of them have been good, others.... not so much.

We tried:

Cool Blue - this one was good

Citrus Cooler - this one was ok, it tasted like grapefruit to me and I am not a fan of grapefruit really. Anthony did like it though.

Melon- Neither of us like this one, I think it was supposed to be cantaloupe flavor, either way I am not buying it again.

Lime Cucumber - this one was not so good. It really tasted like cucumber. I do not like lime or cucumber though so maybe if you like them you would like this drink.

Tropical Mango - This tasted like mango. It was pretty spot on. I thought it was all right but nothing to rave about. Anthony liked it. 

We also tried a white one, I can not find the name of it, I only got one sip because Anthony downed 99% of the thing before I had the chance to taste it, but from what I tasted it was bad... much too sweet. And he said he didn't like it either.

I think that we are going to stick to the normal classic flavors, from now on the red, orange, yellow, and light blue are our favorites.
