Woke up feeling slightly depressed this morning, probably the thought of what I was about to embark on. Hubby was up getting dressed for work so I reminded him I wanted black tea (he always brings me a cup of tea just before he leaves) however he bought it up straight away when I was not even fully consious. So that one got wasted as by the time I came round it was cold.
Eventually I got up and showered and then went down to decide what my first shake of the day was going to be, I plumped for Banana as that would be my shake of choice at Mickey D's. I put 4 or 5 cubes of ice into a beaker and then proceeded to try and crush them with my bamix - not particularly easy, I then added water to about the 200ml mark and shake powder, then blitzed for a minute or so. For those of you who don't know what a bamix is its a very powerful stick blender that can turn skimmed milk into cream (obviously not real cream but the consistency). So what I ended up with was a lovely thick shake that tasted very nice albeit with a faint powdery taste at the back of my throat (probably because I drank through a straw).
I immediately felt better in myself after this because at least I liked the shake, I took this about 8.30 am and at the same time started my first glass of water. By about 10.45 I was starting to feel quite hungry but whilst washing up it just went. Probably due to me drinking some more water.
I have three children so come about 12.30 they wanted lunch so it was noodles for the youngest and the other two had sandwiches (made with homemade bread) but I was fine, I am not a big sandwich fan although of course I love fresh bread and butter. Decided this was the time for my next shake and was opting for the toffee/caramel one but found I did not have one so I went for Vanilla instead. I had read about adding coffee to the shake so as I like iced coffee I added a tsp of coffee granules. It was very nice although I think I would add a slightly larger tsp of coffee, also this time I crushed the ice with the water (much easier) and I topped the water to almost the 400ml mark so actually got a full glassfull.
Had to go and run round tesco, library etc and then as I did not feel 100% had a lie down on the couch, snoozed for a while and have now just made the childrens dinner which I can smell from here. Have got my soup out and the kettle boiled, I am opting for the Thai Sweet Chilli one tonight as everyone says how nice it is. I have also purchased a new bottle of Tabasco (as recommended by the counsellor) the one in my cupboard said use by 2005!
I have to say that I am still feeling slightly deprived at the moment but know that in a couple of days once ketosis kicks in then I will feel much better.
One day at a time thats what I say.

Great post! And thanks for your comment! As for adding photos... if you go to the edit box where you write it, you will see two tabs at the top right of the box... HTML and Compose I think... if you click on the Compose view there is a button with a view on it on the toolbar - insert image... and then you just upload from your PC! Good luck! How was the Thai Chilli? I made a poppadom out of it the other night, and wasn't that keen - but then I am not a big fan of thai usually!!
I might have a go, have to say though I am not all that keen about leaving my photo on the net as its hideous.
Re Thai Chilli, did not like it that much so have swapped for chicken. My LLC told me that they are working on a Tomato but apparently having problems as they have been working on it for a while.
