Starting over

So I gave in and finally ordered the Visalus shakes everyone has been talking about. I started them yesturday, my goal is 30lbs in 3 months and another 40 after that. I will first do a daily log of it and then start talking about the fam.

Day 1 - shake tastes like a vanilla pudding flavour, so not bad, you had 2 scoops of it with 12 oz no fat milk and you can add stuff for flavour, I tried it plain for my first drink. It was good. I also took a metabolisim booster, omega pill and multi vitamin, and their hunger curb thingy. It was easy to drink. At mid morning I had a snack of 1 hard boiled egg and 1/2 cup cucummber. Lunch time I had the shake but added 1 banana, 1/2 cup plain 1% yogurt, and 1/4 tsp vanilla for a shake that was supposed to taste like a banana cream pie (their recipe), it really didn't taste like that and was just ok. After that was all regular meals, healthy snacks, I had 10 almonds and like 5 slices of a small red pepper, 4oz boneless, skinless chicken,1 cup uncooked broccoli and a side salad, no dressing, we never do dressing here, and last snack was 1 large celery stalk with 1 tbsp pb and about 11 raisins. I drank a shit load of water, and to be honest, skip this part if you get grossed out easily..........................I pooped alot.

Now onto family life.

I think Reiko is finally out of the break cycle, its been a few weeks since his last break. He is also moving about now, all the time, if you put him somewhere on the floor he will scoot himself on his back and side to another part of the room, it  is a beautiful beautiful sight! He has been very happy and his personality is really starting to come out now, he has a bit of attitude but is relatively happy for the most part lol.

Kai was going through a stage last week where he was having accidents everyday, some in my bed, some at school, at the park and a pool, we kept reminding him to go, his teachers at kinderoo said they would tell him to go but they weren't sure he was actually going or lying..but this week he is back to normal, thank goodness! He has been a very good boy though, and the other day he went kayaking with daddy for a few minutes and loved it! They ended up falling in the water as he was getting out but he didn't care. We also went to Marine Land last weekend and he got to touch and feed the baluga whales, he was very happy with it. We went with my sister's family, and they were all great, even Reiko was in a great mood! I found MarineLand more fun than the Toronto Zoo.

Life has been good here, and we are finally enjoying summer! speaking of which, time to go!
Take care
