A new beginning...

So if I attempted to mix my protein powder with cereal or something else would it be as effective? My dilemma right now is that it tastes like milk to me sort of. My stomach and my taste buds.. don't really tolerate milk period. lol no idea why!
 
i hate milk. i really do. i can drink it, and can add to my cereal. but id rather drink water. i dont have a clue why.

i cant answer your question just wanted to drop in and say hello today! hello!

Yeah just make sure it's not too 'thick' or I think it may be hard on your kidneys to digest. So, for example, if you're mixing it with oatmeal, add enough water to both to make the consistency what it would have been before the protein powder was added... make sense? :)
 
how sad that a dog punched you!!! my cat clawed me on my chin once, that was embarrassing, lol... keep up the good work!
 
Good mornin' NewLeaf :) Vent away my friend thats what we're for :D As for mixin your protein powder, I usually use OJ but my protein powder is soy based so I am not sure how yours would taste with it :confused: Keep up the good work and that scale will show ya results when Auntie Flo has left the building :D Have a great day!
 
Thanks you guys. Actually my protein mix is chocolate flavored. And this morning I was able to get it down with out too many woes. So I think I'm getting used to it. :)

Kate, I am glad I'm not alone on the milk issue! ;)

Jess, gotta love those pets right! :)

Cassie, thanks.. yeah this hasn't been my most upbeat week. guess its TOM more or less. or what I blame it on!

Hope you are all having a good one!

Wearing my size 5/6 Lee jeans today. When I first bought them, along with the same brand but in a 7/8 as they fit comfortably. These were my goal jeans. They're pretty comfortable, but I can feel them a snidge in the waist. And I think they're snug acrossed the seat until I stretch them out from wear. Its nice to be in them today,even if they care cut larger than most 6's (Lee's Just my fit) but I sure wish the scale would move. I didn't even depress myself by getting on before the gym today. I'll leave that for Monday's weigh-in.

Hi, NL!
Sounds like you're doing great!
Where do you get cinnamon scone? Those are my favorites, and even though I'm used to oatmeal, sometimes I have huge scone cravings. :)

BTW, I'm not too far from you, i'm in Maryland!

Thanks NTL! :) The cinnamon scones are a recipe I hunted up. They're actually oats in the recipe too. ;) You'd have a win-win that way! I'm not really entirely sure ont he calories, but they're pretty small sizes that I baked :)

I love the cinn. ones from Starbucks though, could say I have an addiction for those. ;)

Hey MD is really close to me! I'm just 2 1/2 outside of DC ! Cool. :) The weather has been funky here, how is MD ?
 
Cool, any chance you can share that recipe? I LOVE oatmeal cookies, so cinnanom scone with oatmeal sounds really good... MMM...

Starbucks scones ar the best. I used to go there fairly frequently (every week or two), and now I realize why I gained so much weight so quickly! Those scones are like 450 cals each, plus 200 cal latte. :eek: So, currently starbucks scone is off my list. Although I may treat myself to it in a month or so, when I'm able to exercise more and burn off more calories. :)

I'm just 15 miles North of DC, so we're practically neighbours! :)

Yeah, the weather goes up and down here. Today is sunny tho, and tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day.
 
When I get home tonight I'll post the recipe here for you. I don't mind sharing at all! I just, don't have it at the office. :)

Oh we are practically neighbors! (I live near UVA, if that makes sense to you!) Yeah its sunny today here too. Which is nice.. I heard a high of 60 for us tomorrow, but the evening its supposed to start rapidly falling and rain/snow possible. :eek: Coudl it just be winter .. or spring, not a mixture? lol!
 
hey NL, just checking in on you. I hope your spirits have lifted!!! It is friday that always helps! Enjoy your tuna...curious to hear how it goes ;).

How is your back feeling?

hope you are well.

You're doing great Dana and you should be proud to be rockin' the size 6's regardless of what kind of cut they are! THEY'RE 6's GIRL!!!! :D
I hope you and Sid have a great weekend! I'll be thinkin' about ya while I'm elbow deep in paint! :rolleyes:
 
oh my goodness, i cant believe i missed that - your GOAL JEANS. You should be dancing!! That is awesome. I know you want the scale to move but we all have to remember it is not always all about the number! You have obviously lost inches and that is so great. Enjoy!!
 
Thanks you guys! Yes I am happy about the jeans. I"m sorry I've been a poo-poo this morning, just been kind of blah. Works got me a bit stressed right now. So I am trying to totally perk up! The jeans it is cool because they're really not uncomfortable to wear around! I worried when I put them on, I'd b e miserable all day in "snug" jeans. but I don't feel that way! ;)

So.. on to the Tuna with wheat thins.. uhm YUM! OMG (oh my goodness) I got the smoked flavored kind in a pouch, and it was so tasty!! a bit salty at first for my preference, but still loved it! No mayo or anything. :D

I shall go dance in my 6's! ;)

Now.. my back IS significantly better, BUT.. its been quirky today. Shooting pains here and there. Its weird, it goes up my shoulders, then sometimes it my lower back. Nooo clue whats going on! but I do love me some ibuprofuen! ;)
 
Thanks, NL! I'm looking forward to making me some oatmeal scones this weekend!

WOW, congrats on size 6, that's AWESOME!

Well, my sister in law and you MUST be neighbours, because she lives not far from UVA! :)

Hope your back feels better.

Woot, size 6 is excellent! Sorry about your back being all buggy still... have you tried some mild muscle relaxants to help? Nothing strong because then you can't do *anything* all day, but just enough to get the job done.

High-five girl *clap* and enjoy it :D
 
Oh, I would so love it if I could fit into a size 6, that's amazing! I have 4 sizes to go ;)
