The greet and meet with the organizing guy went alright. He was nice. He was also very fit looking, so he'ld be okay with doing some liftingvof moving of objects. (Help needed wouldn't be too strenuous.) He's coming Mon. I'm already motivated to try starting before he gets here.

I have so much bad anxiety. It will subside, once I start getting things in order.

As an alternative to Ensure, I recommend Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed with 1% milk. I think it tastes better. I like chocolate. I also like protein powder mixed with milk. (It's pricey, but a good value.) Ensure is an expensive way to get more protein in your diet. Not worth it in IMHO. I occasionally buy a case of chocolate "Boost." It tasted better when it had 15 grams of protein per bottle. Now it has 20 gm. to compete with other drinks. People are looking for more protein.

Drinks with more than 20 gm protein per 8 oz taste horrible - to me.
