Comments:
Getting better in the habit of drinking this protein shake twice a day, and even better at not snacking, though when I do it's strings cheese or fruit. Still trying to form a habit of being active. Time restraints have me unmotivated to go to the gym, lately have been trying to do pilates at home, as often as I can with the free time I'm able to get. So far just two days, and trying to do about an hour or the Wii's "Just dance", not exactly a "work out" but it's something. 
Debating on taking this a bit further and cutting out grains and unnatural sugars, just because it worked before. But supposedly this is supposed to be "the big week" in weight loss for this Vi diet. 
Not too worried about weight loss, I mean sure it will help, as it is weight just seems to be a number that makes people feel awful about themselves. Not worried about the number, just hoping it will physically change my body in the way I would like it to. Trying to do more "core" work outs, crunches, etc. Get rid of the tummy fat, and leg workout to get rid of some thigh baggage. 
Going shopping here in May for a trip I'm taking in June, would like to not have to stress about trying clothing on, and feeling gross. I swear some of those mirrors purposefully make you feel like shit. Though I hear the lighting doesn't help.
Still find the whole One meal thing unhealthy.

Day One Comments:

Morning:
    Despite the strawberries and banana flavor packet: protein shake taste like vanilla and oatmeal. Not complaining, just stating.
    Wondering if the one meal a day should be breakfast: considering it's "the most important meal of the day." And logically it'd make sense, that way I get the energy I need for the day with out having to rely on a protein shake, or worrying about the lack of activity I do if I have dinner. Perhaps an alternation. Or perhaps I question this because I smell garlic and potatoes frying.
      Plan on going to the gym for an hour, hopefully forming a habit of going at least every other day for at least an hour.

Evening:
    When to the gym for 45 minutes before work. 20 minutes on something closely related to an elliptical called an "AMT". Then some arm work outs with some wait lifting (approx. 10 mintues), then 15 minutes of stretches and pilates.
    Lunch: made a bad choice and chose fried chicken, forgot my lasagna at home...2 wings, 1 breast, which is supposedly 190 calories. Either way, body hated it, felt noxious after wards. Drank water until about 11pm then had another protein shake and a half a small bowl of pesto pasta salad. Roughly 400 calories if 170g is consumed. Unsure how to calculate that...
