If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning!!

Ohh...I didn't re-read the recipe..I thought there was OJ in it. The people on the site told me to follow the food listed to a T...so I guess that means no fruit. No biggee...I don't think you will be struck down by lightening...at least for this infraction!

I'm hardly a shining example, but did you say you've only had .5 grams of protein so far today? You're going to have to eat an entire cow before you go to bed tonight if you don't throw in some more protein!

Don't quit! Restart or keep going. Remember this is a method, you will have to find what works for you when this ends. Eating habits that don't include food that is flavorful or enjoyable will not last. If the drink works for you and is good for your body, don't beat yourself up.

I haven't had a protein drink as of yet or my evening workout. My drink provides 50g and I'm sure I'll make my numbers.
