As part of my 90-day challenge, I have decided to use the ViSalus Transformation Kit with the Vi-pak supplements (vitamins, minerals, lots of good things for your body). Using the transformation kit actually makes you eligible to enter a contest in case you end up being the "biggest loser" and have a dramatic transformation. (Which I would LOVE to see happen!)
So, this morning, I open up all my bottles and boxes and packets and get ready to jump in full force with my transformation.
Step 1: make my Vi-Shape shake. My go-to breakfast shake is chocolate banana. It's 10 ou. chocolate soy milk, 1/2 a banana, 5 ice cubes and 2 scoops of Vi-Shape. And this morning i also added something new - a packet of the Vi-Trim (flavorless powder to help control appetite)
Step 2: Grab a bottle of water and a packet of NEURO energy powder for mid-morning or afternoon slump (to have INSTEAD of coffee!!)
Step 3: Take 2 Vi-Slim tablets for a metabolism boost
Step 4: And here comes my WTH moment of the day - Open the Vi-pak box for the first time and stare in amazement at the size of these damn pills. There are these two packets staring at me....1 for am and 1 for pm. AM has 5 pills and PM has 2. And actually calling them pills is a misnomer, I think I want to call them 'circular objects the size of my thumb'!!!!!!!!!! Now, I am a daily medicine taker and a daily one-a-day vitamin taker, and I also take natural vitamins and supplements as needed. And I am used to these giant 'horse-pills'. But the thought of taking 7 every day set me back a few steps.
I grabbed a glass of OJ - the only way I can down HUGE, non-coated pills and threw back one. Then 2, with only slight gagging. Then 3. Ok...this one is in my throat now. I just stared at 4 and 5.
I am not sure which 3 I took and which 2 are still on the counter, but I will attempt to get those last 2 AM pills down after work, and then then 2 PM pills after my dinner shake. Man, these dang things better make me do back-flips for the intimidation they cause my poor gag reflex!!
Look, I told you I was going to be honest....

laughing at myself right now....you never know who is going to read your blog posts. I just got a response to this blog post (it posts in 3 places) from one of the ViSalus co-founders, Blake Mallen, LOL'ing at my blog....and then offering some words of encouragement! I asked him not to make the vitamins any bigger! :)
