Day 9 on Phase 1 of Ideal Protein

Day 9 on Phase 1 went well.  My day started with a cup of green tea and 1 packet of Splenda.  I love coffee, but I am adjusting to drinking it black. On Phase 1 your allowed 1 oz of skim milk, but my thoughts are... What's the point?  I also don't want the flu again and I'm trying to prevent it as much as possible. Green Tea is a great way to get in some extra Anti-Oxidants and speed up the weight loss process. Listed here are some of the benefits. http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/11-benefits-of-green-tea-that-you-didnt-know-about.html  
After drinking the tea I went for a 30 minute walk/jog.  The sun was shining and it was about 32* out. I bundled up a bit and off I went.  Today on the playlist was a custom station by www.pandora.com called workout.  The station had a variety of up beat music. It got my adrenaline pumping for a decent jog.  I was extra careful when I was jogging to watch for slick spots.  I was at the intersection of Johnson Ave and 1st Ave.  There were cars at each stop sign, I felt good, liked the song that was playing and I hit some black ice.  Yep, I slipped, it was not very pretty. My arms were all over the place trying to keep my balance.  I did not fall, but the 3 teenage boys in the car closest to me were laughing out loud. Your welcome boys, I'm happy I started your day off with a good laugh :) I turned around and walked home.
When I got home I drank a Ideal Protein Vanilla pudding with some cinnamon, 10oz of water and crushed ice.
Not sure if I have told any clients yet, Ideal Protein just announced that we will have 3 new Premade Ideal Protein Puddings released in the next month or so. I'm very excited about this, they are non restricted.
Wed and Thursday's at Innovative Aesthetics are very busy and long 11 hour days.  Lindsay and I really do need to invest in some roller skates.  The morning flew by, I drink a premade Strawberry Banana drink, I didn't have time to eat any veggies.  Around 2:00 I went to the lounge to get my left over veggies for lunch and there is catered Chinese food. Sesame chicken, fried rice and egg rolls. My mouth watered the second I walk in the lounge. I think for a second what would it hurt if I just had 1 piece of chicken? Duh, it will knock me out of ketosis!!! I drank my full Camelbak, warmed up my veggies and crunched on a piece of celery. Will power is something that I didn't have 9 days ago. I feel good.
Lindsay and I had a Free Diet Seminar tonight. She made turkey meat balls with Walden Farms Spicy BBQ sauce, Ideal Protein Spaghetti and cut up some bars.  The leftovers were my 3rd Ideal Protein of the day.
When I finally got off work at 8, I was not in the mood to cook anything. I also don't like to eat after 8 so I needed to get something quick.  Audi, my oldest son was working at Hy Vee. I thought I would stop after and check on his work ethic.  I picked up a Rotisserie chicken and green bean steamers. Audi was working the checkout, he is a great kid, very funny, caring and has a huge heart.  He was talking to the elderly lady before me and he was being polite and using manners. I was proud of him.
Robert and I shared the Chicken and steamers.  Today was a good day, keeping the momentum going.

Until tomorrow, Dusty Marie Swehla
