    Tuesday
    b-2 eggs with salsa
    l-turkey salad

    Tried a Carb Solutions Vanilla Shake (in the glass bottle) yesterday. It was surprisingly good- and I have tasted a lot of protein shakes, DH eats them everyday. This was made with cream and was nicely flavored and really rich tasting! I am going to get some at the supermarket this week for the work refrig!

    psssssst Sherrie...bring the patio drinks will ya?
  • MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!
    Is it OP if we drink the liquor straight with no fruity mixers?? Sounds like a plan!

    Today is a repeat of yesterday, except that I got in about 90 ounces of water so far. The rest is leftovers. I boil a dozen eggs at once, make up bacon and freeze it, and keep salad stuff in fridge at work. Planning helps to keep me out of McD's and the snack machine!

    2nd day OP in a looooooooooooong time! Yippee!!!!!!!
