really good morning

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could wake up every morning to someone standing next to your bed with a cup of coffee prepared for you just the way you like it? That's what I was thinking this morning when I woke up. But when I opened my eyes no one was there, bummer. So I got up, made the bed, turned the air conditioner and fan off (yes, I did sleep with them both on, it gets hot in my room at night) and went downstairs and made a cup of coffee. I usually make my coffee after I'm all ready, but I knew it would be a 2 cup kind of morning. Then something so great happened, I weighed. Yes I know there are people out there that tell you that you should only weigh once a week, but I'm not one of those people. I need a daily check of where I'm at. And today's was a good check, down 2 lbs since yesterday!!! So, the protein filled day that I had yesterday worked. What a great way to start the day.

Have a good one.

Whey Protein.

So this morning as I was making my latte, I got the idea that I should add a scoop of protein. I'm thinking that adding 18 grams of protein would really jump start my day. Well, it jump started my day alright. Thinking that I should taste it before I leave the house (just in case it's taste bad), I take a drink and gross. I now have a mouth full of hot coffee and chunks! Yes, chunks. Not able to swallow the chunks I spit it out in the sink. Whey doesn't really dissolve in hot liquid. I then think, I'll just scoop the chunks out and it should be fine. Well, no, it's not fine. It's still gross just no chunks. I remade my latte before leaving the house and all was well. So, if you are ever tempted to add protein to your latte, you might want to rethink that.

It's been a long while....

Well, what can I say? You start something and sometimes you get distracted along the way. A lot has happened to me over the past two years. At this point I have lost 150 pounds. It hasn't been as easy as the staples button makes things seem. But it has been good, wait, I should say great!

Things have gotten a lot easier when it comes to eatting. When I first had the surgery I wasn't sure I was ever going to be able to eat normally. Well, that's the part that has gotten easier, maybe a little to easy. I'm able to eat almost everything, just smaller amounts, should I be eatting almost everything, NO! So I'm in the process right now of getting back on track. Going back to the habits I had right after surgery. LOTS OF PROTEIN! I have amazing support in my life and they are all so willing to help me do whatever needs to be done. I'm not where I would like to be right now with my weight and there is just no reason for that, I would love to give you a ton of excuses but that's all they would be excuses. Sometimes we need a reminder of what we are doing, and that's where I am right now. Just got reminded that I forgot what I was doing, it's like someone slapped me upside the head and said "WAKE UP!". Boy am I glad for the wake up.

I'm planning on posting a few new pictures (just need to get them taken) in the next few days. It's time we see if we can see a difference. So I'll have my Mom snap a couple tonight.
