20/20 – so far so good

First week of 20/20 is going well. Three personal trainer sessions so far for 1.5 hours each and tomorrow I’ll be doing my second "individual" session, without the trainer. These shakes are getting on my nerves though. You just can’t have five shakes a day without getting sick of them. Five of anything really. Except maybe bacon, but that’s right out.

Monday I see the dietician again. Hopefully I’ll be able to cut it down to 3 shakes a day, with meals, and eat something else for my 2 snacks.

I got a new flavor of shakes today: kiwi, orange, guava. I’m not so sure what I think about them, but they are a change from vanilla.

I wonder if I’m using the right amount of strawberries in these shakes. The dietician said 1/2 cup and I’m assuming that means volume of strawberries… It sure seems like alot though. Maybe they mean the dry volume complete with air. I’ve been submerging them in water and using the amount of displaced water to measure the volume of the strawberries. Seems reasonable to me.

I bought a pretty cool heart rate monitor for the exercising: a Polar S410. The nice thing about it is it keeps track of my rate all during exercise and when I get home I can download the workout log to my PC, which produces nice charts. And everyone loves charts.

  1. I\’m pretty sure they mean dry volume with air. I don\’t think many people would come up with the idea of measuring water displacement to get 1/2 a cup of strawberries 🙂

  2. It takes a special person to measure their strawberries by displacement! Of course, I think my husband would do the same thing…
