What exercise are you currently doing? Walking, and just starting on some toning and cardiac work here at home. 3. What's your favorite protein snack? Q-Smart, both flavors. 4. Are you ready for spring or do you like winter? I like winter, but I've been SO COLD this year with my body adjusting to my weight loss. Spring is my favorite time of year. 5.

1. Gosh! I wouldn't even know where to begin..... clothes shopping is still a frustrating thing for me. 2. I just started yoga and I am really loving it!!! I like all the stretching! 3. My favorite protein snack right now is string cheese. 4. I am liking winter... now that I am suited up with Cuddle duds!!! I will be happy when spring comes though..... 5. not as of yet.....

1. I would rent a tux. I wanna show off and I know I will look good in a tux. ****y but why not with all this weight loss. I don't own a suit. In my job I don't have to wear one and hate dressing up so. 2. I bought a recumbant bike last week and am using that in the mornings before work. 3. I just bought some Adkins Advantage Chocolate Chip Granola Bars from Costco, that have 17 grams of protein per bar. They taste great. (I got the Peanut Butter Granola Bar, also, but they are not as good). These are my morning snacks. My afternoon snack is cheese. I am LOVING cheese now. I did not eat it, much, before the surgery, but now I can't go without it. 4. I used to love the winter, but now I can't wait until spring. No more built in insulation, I guess. 5. I do what I can.
