Lisa you are brilliant!! On your advice and on a friend's recommendation I went into this store in town called MAX MUSCLE. This place is unique in that you can taste anything before you buy it. I was met upon entering by a retail person who is also a CPT at one of the local private facilities. I told him my situation and he smiled knowingly of my issue nd then showed me around the pickings.
I figured out that I don't like the powder drinks so much because I really don't like many dairy products. I won't drink milk or eat ice cream and all these drinks reminded me of milk or milk shakes. One even claimed it tasted like ice cream. YUK. So he directed me to this one product that has 30 grams of protein and 143 cals per serving and it tastes like either berry or tropical juice. I tried the berry one and bought it on the spot. I can double up the serving and make that a meal. One question though can I O.D. on protein? I have been getting over 200 grams of it the past two days.
Peter thanks a million for the warm welcome and the invite. I would love to start a training log here. I have already begun documenting my journey and have also done photos (before). I am a Math major and a software engineer so collecting data is great with me. My trainer loved my diet logs. They were extremely easy to read and detailed. I looked at the training log section and don't feel at all like I am ready to join that yet. All I do right now is push ups and mountain climbers and squats without weights and that sort of thing. In fact I am not even sure what all the things are called that I am doing. Once I feel like I have some sort of handle on what it is that I am doing I will most certainly log the 12-week adventure. I am actually excited to see what pops out at the end of it.
