Wednesday Coffee etc.

I work at Square Lake and Woodward.  I can drive right by there on my way home!

Who's 'Brooks' you work for?  I've seen you mention big wigs at meetings...just curious.

Good Morning Brenda,

So far, so good today.  A few sprinkles outside, but no downpours.  I was thinking about your hunger issues and YES, I am going thru the same thing.  It seems as though if I start my day with a carby choice, then that is all I crave all day.  I bought weight control oatmeal and its not sustaining me thru the mornings.  I am going back to 3 alarm chili for breakfast with a side of bacon!


QOTD:  I think that my life is right where it was supposed to be for who I am now.

B,

Which weight control oatmeal did you get.  The oatmeal itself isn't high enough in protien for me, so my nut told me to add a tablespoon of peanut butter.  I currently am working on the Banana Bread Quaker weight control and yes it will last me now until about noonish.   So I guess I could say I am channeling Elvis - Banana peanut butter oatmeal.

BTW, I will keep you in mind if I ever need a baby sitter.  You and my son would get along great - Bacon and cheese.

Pam,

I bought the Quaker variety pack.  I never thought to add peanut butter, but that will take away the yummy taste.  I hate to add pb to things cuz its so overpowering.  Maybe adding milk instead of water?  Or possibly some cheddar cheese? hehe

I will continue to experiment.  I've never had traditional breakfast tastes anyhow.

Morning all,

It was a damp trip in for me this morning, but I guess I would rather see the rain than snow.  My coffee is long gone, along with my bottle of green tea.   I am working on some decaf breakfast tea blend, but I am with Pam T, it is kind of bitey. 

QOTD - Work wise, I am very much were I thought I would be and am very content with my career at this moment, even with wage freezes and bonuses being cut, I still have my job and I enjoy it and most of the people I work with. 

Family - I always thought I would have children before I was 38, but I didn't, and am very blessed with the child I have.  

Health wise, I am far beyond where I was 3 years ago.  I am not at goal, but I am happy and healthy where I am at.   I continue to plug away at my lifestyle change, and realize that I don't have to be a single digit size to be happy with myself.  I am healthy, and at a smaller size than I have been my entire adult life. 

Hope everyone has a blessed day.

Pam

Moring everyone!

It is just a rainy mist here but the wind is humping.  Drinking Flogers decafe.

QOTD:  This is a tuff on.  Yes and no!  I had always said I was going to retire when I got 30 years in.  I really didn't think I would be though.  I also thought I had done everything right and didn't think I would be worring about money at this point.

Morning.....

I've had my coffee/protein drink.  Working on some lemonade Crystal lite.  Feeling very yucky this morning.   I hate PMS - my body temp is so hot right now, I feel like I'm going to combust!  And of course I'm nauseous .  Looks like I'll be snacking on Tums all day.

QOTD:  Yes and no.  Too complicated to get into.  I'd write a book if I did.....lol.

Have a great day!

I read these every day but don't think I have much to contribute.  Being pre-op my breakfast this morning was a McDonald's bagel, egg, bacon & cheese.  I had to take my son and daughter-in-law to the airport (Metro) at 4:45 a.m.  When I got back here it was just after 6 so I stopped for b-fast.  My lunch consisted of a salad w/blue cheese dressing.  Oh, I had a diet coke with b-fast.  Does anyone remember eating like this??  I got my bloodwork results back yesterday and my vitamin D levels are low, so I've been told to get Vitamin D3.  I'm just going to go to Walmart and pick up all the vitamins they have listed that I'll need to take forever.  I'm also going to pick up some vanilla whey protien so I can start getting used to it.  I may get some beneprotien too.  Anyone tried that?  BTW, that coney dog looked delicious.

Remember?  Heck I still eat like this, just not everyday like I used to.  I even eat Coneys yummy.  Don't spend a lot of cashola on the protein powders, get samples if you can.  I hated them post op.  ick.

Good luck with your vit D.

Do you have any idea where to get samples?  Is there a website or something.  You're right, I really don't want to spend more than necessary.  I'm sure all the supplements (vitamins) will cost me a bundle.
