Day 8 - Super Gag Plus

Its been a full seven days so you ladies know what I did...weigh myself! Yup. The scale shows 191lbs! Yup that's like 7lbs. And honestly I'm never hungry. I've only been doing my physical therapy exercises for my back which takes 15 - 20 minutes/day depending on how "helpful" Evy feels like being that day. I sure hope this weight doesn't creep back on twice as fast.

But wait there's more...
An even bigger accomplishment is I've been without coffee for 5 days! Now I know I will pick back up that habit immediately after my 30 days, if not sooner with unsweetened almond milk. But I have to save I think there is something to that SuperGag Plus formula (aka Dr. Schulze's SuperFoods Plus). Each day I try a new way to swallow it.  I've tried mixing it with cold water from the fridge but it starts to clump. Lemon water just enhanced its "flavor". Green tea with lots of stevia proved unscuccessful. Almond milk and coconut milk just made the mixture that much thicker to which delays the torture even more. I've even tried different swallowing techniques.  Holding my breath and chugging it down proves unsuccessful because there is so much of it I have to take big gulps causing particulars to linger between my gums and cheeks delaying the flavor even longer.  To date my most successful has been 1/3 cup room temperature water, hold breath with cheeks tightly squeezed and take small sips preventing any of this swamp water to permeate the crevices of my mouth. Repeat 10 times and pray there isn't a chunk at the bottom of the glass to which I must add more water, stir, and repeat.  All followed by a chaser of my lemon iced green tea with stevia. Ahhh. 

 I thought putting it in a nice crystal etched glass would help the process, NOT!

On a more flavorful note, while cooking breakfast for JC I accidentally popped a small piece of bacon in my mouth out of habit. After I realized it I tried to spit it out sparing myself two additional micro particles of sugar lingering in my mouth. Ahhh but it was good. The piece was the size of a penny so I don't think I need to start over, and if I get any bonus points it was sodium nitrate free, but alas, bacon has sugar. Now you know why bacon makes everything better. Are you thinking what I'm thinking??? That's right, every time I type the word bacon I'm imitating Jim Gaffingan's bacon skit.  "BACON!"
