Despite the fact that I’ve not been blogging since the train wreck, I’ve happily been doing well.  I had rough pizza days on Friday and Saturday, but Sunday went perfectly, and on Monday I started Meta-quick, and have been continuing with it, and it’s been going just fine.  They warned me that I might get really hungry, but it hasn’t been too much of a problem yet.  I’m so busy during the day that I don’t have much time to think about it before dinner, which is a regular meal, so I’ve been doing fine.  My weight this morning was also encouraging– 1/2 lb. down from my lowest weight before the big binge, so it looks like I’ve negated all adverse effects from that.  I will go back to MRC on Friday, so I’m hoping for a nice encouraging loss.  I’m allowed to do the metaquick thing for 7 days each month, and if it keeps going this well, I most likely will do it once a month.  It’s not just that it speeds up weight loss, but with my busy schedule, it’s nice to not have to cook or pack a lunch.  I just know I’ll have the shake for breakfast, bar for lunch, and then dinner.  Bars are quick to pack, shake is just as easy as my normal breakfast, and dinner has never been a problem anyhow.  They don’t really taste bad, although it’s no DQ chocolate shake, but it’s doable.  Also, I think I will feel better when I go back to my regular diet because it will feel less boring/like I have more choices.  So, it’s good for physical weight loss as well as my mental ability to stay OP, I think. 

typical menu:

B: shake (200), HNS (70)

L: bar (150), HNS (70)

D:  roast chicken 4 oz., steamed broccoli 4 oz., 1/4 wrap and melba toast (totalling 40), HNS (70)

snack: creamy HNS (90)

So, while this is low calorie, I don’t really think it’s that much lower than I usually eat.  Still, the volume of food is less, so I’m perhaps losing “weight” that way.  Also, they say that this will help by shaking up my routine so my body won’t get used to the same foods, which I think could be accurate.  Also, this is even higher in protein than my normal diet, so if there is some truth to the protein helping you burn extra calories, then that could help as well.  Either way, I’m glad my two days didn’t turn into a derailment completely.
