Vitamix 5200 Super - Healthy Lifestyle
Yes folks, we bought a blender on steroids. Supposedly this puppy can grind a cell phone to powder. Steve and I have decided we are going to have to do something to start enjoying a healthy lifestyle. We decided we were going to go on the HCG diet for 3 weeks to get it jumpstarted. So off we went on Tuesday night to buy us some HCG drops. We found ourselves at Costco picking up some fruit and veggies and there it was.....this superdooper blender of all blenders promising whole food health and recipies that will inspire us. When you are just starting a "healthy lifestyle" (we don't want to use the term diet) you can be very vulnerable. People take advantage of that. So here we are whole, inspired and broke individuals about to embark on a "Healthy Lifestyle" that we have since decided will be called.... the Eat Shiz and Live 7 year warranty, no risk guaranteed DIET.
Day one
The morning went quite well actually. Of course this is the first of a two day "binge" in which you eat absolutely anything you want and gorge yourself of all the fat pigout foods you want. Then the afternoon meal is upon me, I take out my drops and give them a whiff..........oh wow.....maybe Taylor was right, they kinda do smell like doggie do do. But I was brave and put that one ml of a dropper full into my mouth and gave it a squeeze. OH MY H***, this zingy horrible fake chocolately rancid taste filled my mouth. So now really? Who cares if I wash it down with something? I commence breaking the first rule. Then the taste won't go away. No matter what I eat. No matter what I drink. No matter WHAT! Well, it won't beat me. I broke the second rule the next meal and I put the dropper full of "shiz" into a gelatin capsule and swollowed it whole. So there.
Evening came and we wanted a snack. We went to our incredible no risk guaranteed power blender to whip us up some inspired goodness. (Remember we can eat what we want for two days). MMMM...bananas, spinach, oranges, and strawberries with some fresh blueberries and some yogurt go into the machine. I am doing very well. It is the most horrid color but that doesn't scare me. Steve comes into the kitchen to give me a hand. "It needs more ice" he states. I pull the top off while he goes to get it. He turns around and flips the switch and all that brown goodness flies all over my kitchen. What makes it worse is that Taylor was standing there and it squirted him all down the front of his shirt and pants. He started to laugh and I have never heard him laugh this hard before. He was almost in tears. I am happy and glad to report on my "glad blog" that today I did indeed hear my son Taylor laugh the hardest I have ever heard or seen. It was worth it.
Of course, the one who makes the mess, cleans it up!!!!!
So far day two is going well. I will keep you posted.
