Only 20 calories but....

....It was a start. Just now I dug out the recumbent bike from all the clothes and other items I had stacked on and around it and knocked about 6 inches of dust off. I decided it was time to see if my knee, foot and back could stand some exercise. This is how I stayed on the bike for 10 minutes and only got 20 calories. It was very slow going but as I said it was a start.

Today is day 3 of the shakes-and-one-diet-meal regimen and thank God I don't have to work until the weekend. Those were two very painful days and I hobbled around like one of the poor old dears on the unit.

I think I lost a little water weight because my face doesn't look so puffy. I can't fool myself there is a great deal of work to be done before I can look 1/2 way decent again.

As for the drinks themselves, I will have to buy some more nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and other extracts to flavour them up so I don't get bored. So I went looking for shake recipes. There is a great one using pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice that the poster said tasted just like ...well, pumpkin pie. Gotta try that one

Now for a cake shake, pastry shake, cookie shake etc
