In an effort to lose some much needed poundage, I have been trolling YouTube for fitness/diet/healthy eating videos. I made many notes of things to try and decided that this day, August 3, 2010, would be the beginning of Project Skinny.
During my Pre-Project Preperations, I decided to try just a few things. I bought some water, cashews, dry-roasted peanuts, Cran-apple flavor sticks for the water ('cause plain water = ick), green tea sticks, a small vanilla soy milk and some orange sherbet push up pops.
The orange sherbet is delish by the way. ^_^
Day One however, is not going as planned.
I dragged myself in to work at 11am accompanied with a few of my new healthy items. I brought a serving size of cashews, two waters, a green tea stick and a half bottle of lemonade just in case. Oh, and a piece of leftover pizza for lunch.
What? Rome wasn't built in a day, ya know.
So I scarfed down my cashews first thing and then I tried the green tea. All the YouTubers had agreed that it was the best thing ever and soooo good for you and soooo delicious.
Y'all, I don't know what they were drinking but it sure wasn't what I was.
Let me break it down for you.
You take a bottle of water, take a few sips and then pour a packet of the green tea into it. My first reaction was that well, shouldn't the powder be green instead of a weird taupey color? Then I shook and shook and shook that bottle of water to dissolve the tea and ended up with a bottle whose color was now, in my opinion, pee.
Yum.
So I braved a taste of it.
I am not sure there are words to describe it. It sorta tasted like honey and lemon and some unidentified flavor that I am not very sure of except ick.
I've drunk about half of the bottle and it has perhaps gotten a teensy tiny bit drinkable.
But it is definitely going on the No list.
Laters.
