Day Three

It's the end of another very long week. I think I've spent more time in my car than I have in my house, and that's never fun. In the past, a lot of poor eating choices had to be made in times like these, but no longer! Having a thermos of chilled Soylent with me has saved a ton of money, time and my body from having to process yet another nutritional compromise by way of Taco Bell.

And this is the point of Soylent, at least in our lives. We have a real alternative, now. We aren't slaves to the grocery store, to the ingredients list on food labels, to each other's picky eating habits, to the limited variety of restaurants in our small town or to whatever fast food place we'll have to settle for at the next exit on our road trip. When we want to eat solid food, we will! And we'll do for the fun of it this time and not because we have no other choice.

I discovered this morning that a thicker texture (achieved by simply adding less water) makes my Soylent taste more like a milkshake. I'll even go so far as to say it's "delicious" to me now, and I didn't have to add anything extra to it like sugar or cinnamon. I'll just have to remember to drink more water separately to make sure I'm getting enough.

Update: Greg says the sleep he's gotten these past few days have felt more 'restful' than normal, conceding that it could just be placebo. I, on the other hand, have been too busy courting conflicting schedules to get more than 3-4 hours a night. I should be dead on my feet right now, but somehow I'm not. Seems too soon for either of us to credit Soylent yet.

Update #2: I forgot to mention that we both had Planet Sub sandwiches for lunch today, eating Soylent the rest of the time. We got a coupon in our Inboxes and couldn't pass it up.
