Well, that willpower was short-lived. BUT I'M BACK!
In my absence, I have managed to forgo any and all appearances of healthiness in favor of being a chubby stressball with Cheeto-stained fingers. Eff. I was fast-approaching my highest weight ever.
A few weeks ago, my boyfriend (who, like me, also packed on some law school related pounds) started doing Herbal Life. I decided to give it a try this month. I need to do something. Fo real. This is Day 3. So far, I'm craving EVERYTHING but these damn shakes. But I'm working on getting creative with my shake recipes. Best so far:
PB & Banana
2 scoops vanilla Formula 1
2 scoops protein powder
1 tsp Better Than Peanut Butter (if you haven't tried this & like peanut butter, it is a MUST)
1/3 frozen banana
1 tsp butter flavoring (baking aisle)
1 tsp butterscotch pudding (dry mix)
1 cup ice
1 cup water
BLEND. Drink. Savor.
It's about 250 calories and 27 grams of protein. It's my favorite shake so far.
So, my starting weight this time was around 156.5 & BMI was like 29.5 Holy lord. At least there is a lot of room for improvement.
My new daily plan: 2 shakes. 1 healthy meal. 2 health snacks. 100 oz water. For meals, I'm trying to keep a 10 cal to 1 g protein rule. Tricky, but I think I can do it. Thank god I'm a carnivore. Also, I plan on using the following websites heavily:

That is all. Tomorrow, I will actually write my food logs for the first few days.
