Yes thanks for the advice about the shakes. I will try using half the package. I'm sure if I do that and add more water they won't be as thick, obviously! This morning I was like WHOA! They taste good but they take a LONG time to drink.
I've heard good things about the low carb ready to drink ones but I've been a little hesitant. I usually do not like ready to drink shakes AT ALL. That and they make me so bloated.
I tell you what, I did the LBWO yesterday and today I'm walking around like a 90 year old lady! I've done squats and lunges before, but never with weights and I thought I was going to die! I've been doing Bikram yoga for the past three months (that's the HOT kind where the room is heated) and I was so impressed with how strong my legs were getting. NOT!
I'm hoping to get some glutamine before the next LBWO! I haven't been that sore with the UBWO. OUCH
I'm doing better with the eating, not obsessing AS much, just trying to keep it simple. I do feel good and I'm never hungry so something must be working right. I've had to only eat 5 meals the past couple of days though because even if I get up by 9 I run out of time to eat...I don't want to be eating at 11 pm or later!
Thanks again for everyone's advice. It really helps and I know you know what you're talking about because you have results!
BTW Nat, I printed out all of Hussman's info so I wouldn't have to sit here at the 'puter and read it. It's made for a really interesting read every night at bedtime. It's also interesting to find out that most of the BFL champions have not really followed it PURELY by the book, but have tweaked it quite a bit. I know you gotta do what you gotta do though. I'm going to keep going by the book at least for C1 and then see what I need (or want) to do.
Have a great evening everyone!
