Hey girls, thanks for checking in on me! My spirits are better than they were and I'm slowly but surely learning how to live with "what I've done"..lol
I lost 3 lbs over the weekend after a LONG slump so that has me a little happier as well. Danita is REALLY frustrated though....she hasn't lost a lb in WEEKS...she's even gained 2. She thinks her surgery didn't work..lol I keep telling her that it did work, that she's just hit a plateau. I'm running out of other motivating things to say to her so please feel free to help me out with what to say to her. Danita is afraid that she's going to end up like those people who get the surgery and don't ever lose more than 20-30 lbs and then it just stops. God I hope that doesn't happen to us...not after all we've gone through.
Anyway, we got the Nectar samples in the mail on Monday and I've tried the "Apple Ecstacy" and Danita has tried Cherry. I don't think I mixed it correctly because it was pretty nasty and Danita said the same thing about hers. The samples say "one serving" but I can get 2 scoops out of it so I'm not sure what's going on there. I guess the mix is meant to be thick like a shake? Because that's what I would end up with after only adding 8 ounces of water or milk. I think next time, I need to add the whole packet, add some crushed ice (as instructed) and maybe some fruit or milk. When I made it, I used half the sample (one scoop) and shook it up with water...YUCK! It was a watery, gritty, sour drink that I couldn't even finish. I had to add Splenda because it wasn't sweet at all, which I thought was strange.
Any mixing advice from you Nectar drinkers out there?
Thanks!
Mahealani
