Yummy Yummy....
Ok, more on the protein shakes. I know some of you must be gettin' tired of hearing about it!! The orange cream one was really good, but I think I found a new favorite (which I am sure will keep changing!!). I used the 12 ozs. of milk the protein powder called for, only one scoop this time (for 25 grams) and a few spoons of pastachio pudding powder. It is soooo yummy. I can hardly taste the protein powder at all. Not that the Isopure is bad tasting. I still can not put ice in the shakes, as it makes them to thick and I can't drink them. Yesterday I did so good. I worked out for 20 min. I have a Gazelle at home (like Tony Little endorses). That was all I could manage. The only thing I did wrong yesterday was I ate something I wasn't supposed to. I didn't get sick, but it still scared me. If I was able to eat what I did and not get sick, I can just see my old habits coming back. I told myself that I would work on my protien all day and then sit down to dinner with my family. Food is sitting so well with me right now. I have not found one thing that doesn't agree with me yet. I just have to have more discipline and crack the whip on my old habits. Granted, even though I am able to eat things that I didn't even imagine, I still get full really fast, which is a GOOD sign. It is hard to believe that I have had this surgery. I am feeling like myself again, and the only pain I still have is that insicion that opened. It didn't open all the way, but now I have a "dent" the size of a peanut in my tummy. I don't mind because the likely hood of me wearing a bikini again are slim to none. Most of the pain from that little spot is tenderness when something pushes on it and the horrid, horrible, awful, intense (haha) itching. Anyway, it is hard to think that I had this surgery because I can not see my new pouch. On a brighter note, I did get all of my Christmas shopping done. Now comes the hard part. Keeping it hidden until Christmas!! Travis put a padlock on the pantry door and we stuck them all in there. The only fear I have is the fish. My oldest son (Ryan) had a betta that died when I was in the hosptial. He took it really hard. He had just lost his favorite uncle on Nov. 19th and was still coping with that. He is so emotional and doesn't comprehend what happened. So we got him a new one and a small little one gallon tank to go along with it. I got it already because I DID NOT want to go out Christmas Eve to go get a fish. I set up the tank and stuck the fish in there and set the tank on the chest freezer in the pantry. Cross your fingers everyone and hope the fish survives the shock of a new home and pray that they don't find all the presents before Christmas!! I can't report anything about my weight loss because my scale is on the fritz. Some days it will work just fine and other times it won't. I think it needs a new battery. I don't think I've lost anything since the 1st 15 pounds because I have been stuck here for about 4-5 days!! Now that I am feeling better and can work-out now, hopefully that will kick start it!! Hope everyone is having a good day. Mine got off to a slow start, but it is picking up. Enjoy the day and all it has to offer!!!
