Yes, Yes the slimfast challenge is going well. I had to hide under the stairs to drink it at school today so no one would see me. So embarrassing.
This video is a talk given by neuroanatomist Jill Bolt Taylor. She describes, in amazing detail and with great insight, her experience going through a stroke. Pretty cool if you take them time to listen. (A little long but I think the end gets real interesting). I like that, even as a neuroanatomist, she still ties her experience into a greater context of energy, spirituality, transition, and the world today.

"One morning, a blood vessel in Jill Bolte Taylor's brain exploded. As a brain scientist, she realized she had a ringside seat to her own stroke. She watched as her brain functions shut down one by one: motion, speech, memory, self-awareness ...
Amazed to find herself alive, Taylor spent eight years recovering her ability to think, walk and talk. She has become a spokesperson for stroke recovery and for the possibility of coming back from brain injury stronger than before. In her case, although the stroke damaged the left side of her brain, her recovery unleashed a torrent of creative energy from her right. From her home base in Indiana, she now travels the country on behalf of the Harvard Brain Bank as the "Singin' Scientist."

You could pour your slimfast into a nalgene bottle and then everyone would just think you were drinking a yummy smoothy!
I like to let it marinate as long as possible in the metal can to preserve the preservative/artificial taste.
