Thirsty Thursday WLS Express

Good Morning Train!

WOOOOHOOO for Thursday, especially since this is my Friday!  I'm off to Arkansas to see my Mom this weekend, it's just a mad dash up Friday and back home on Sunday but I'm taking the girls since she's never seen her namesake!  
1. What is your favorite protein drink? How often do you drink one? I mix my protein in my coffee as creamer, so I don't really taste anything but the chocolate, so I use Body Fortress from Wally World.  Every day!
2. What is your favorite no/low cal drink? Water!
3. What is your favorite adult drink? I don't drink much any more, but when I do it's usually a glass of Blackberry or Concord grape wine.

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

This was on the radio, so now it's on the turntable! LOL it's Steely Dan's "Do It Again"

In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street

You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again

When you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow

You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again

Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table

You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

Just a quick stop by to say hi.

1.  On the rare occassion I have a protein drink, I have frozen bananas and peaches in my freezer, I add them to some milk and put it in my Ninja with a scoop of protein powder (unflavored).

2.  Crystal light.  Mix cherry and fruit punch.  Drink one gallon of it a day.

3.  I have not had one drop of alcohol since my WLS.  Before it was margaritas, but since the surgery, I won't touch the stuff.

Over 12 yrs ago the DH and I tried to OD on Margaritas, we figured out from our bar bill the next day that we had about 15.... each!  To this day I can't look at a margarita without turning green around the gills... LOL

I am a salt fiend.  I think what turned me on to margaritas is the salt around the rim.  At times I miss them, but, I choose not to have another.

1. I can't stand protein drinks. I can choke down the occasional AchievOne, but I really struggle. I choose to have 16 oz of Mootopia for 24 grams of protein. Usually flavored with light chocolate syrup or vanilla extract and sweet n low.

2. Water. Followed up by iced tea, sweetened with no cal sweetner.

3. Used to be margaritas or mojitos. I dont have one now that I'm post-op.

I'm ready for the weekend! My BF and I are headed up to Dallas for my dad's birthday. Tonight we're cooking the dessert and having chicken for dinner. We're both working on Saturday, but we're heading up after we get off.

Prayers are going up for all who need them!

Good Morning Alissa and all my TMB family, So far so good down here in Florida. Sea of emotions. Mom and I will be flying back to Massachusetts on Saturday and Dad has decided to stay here and drive back in a month (long story). We are all hanging in there and treasuring every moment we have together. Hope to be able to get into an Oncologist when we get back to Mass. Is going to be hard without a car but luckly have friends and family that can take us anywhere we need to. I am trying to keep care of myself too but having a hard time at the moment. Just don't feel hungry. I am drinking a lot of water so that is good. I know I need to stay strog and healthy for Mom. Ok now this is short but all I have for now. Please keep us in prayer. Love you guys.

MICHELLE_you KNOW if you don't eat, your guts will hurt, you won't be nourished, you won't have energy and you won't be able to help yourself, much less your mom..then SHE will have to take care of YOU...but you know THAT already...said with LOVE....now...GO EAT SOME PROTEIN!!!

Extra special prayers going up for all of you

YEA!  What Gina said...........

Behave yourself so you CAN be a help to Mom and not make yourself sick.

Good morning, my TMB Family..morning sure came early today...by the tie I get used to the time change, it's time to reset the clocks again...sheesh..

Okay, ALISSA..at least they are EASY questions today:

1. What is your favorite protein drink? How often do you drink one?

My current fave is CLICK. KARLA got me hooked. I drink the mocha kind-tastes like chocolate laced coffee. They have a vanilla one now..but who cares...I usually have 2 a day..one in the morning, and one on the way home from work

2. What is your favorite no/low cal drink?

Not very fancy, I know, my fave drink is....WATER...plain old tap water...room temp tap water

3. What is your favorite adult drink?

I don't "partake" real often...I'm too stingy with the calories...BUT...I DO like an "amaretto sour" now and then....it's just amaretto with whiskey sour mix...a frozen margarita, with extra salt, on the rim, would be my second choice, followed by my 3rd choice of cheap whiskey mixed with Diet Coke...hmmm...for a "non-drinker", I sure seem to know alot about liquor choices....

Just a normal day planned in my world...but now I have an unbearable hankering for some cheap whiskey and Diet Coke...hoping to work this weekend,( Friday and Saturday nights-12 hr shifts) so will TRY to go to bed early tonight, to get ready for a 28 hr work marathon Friday...

Special healing prayers for our QUE...

Special thanks to LORALEA for the family coffee/dinner last night-I sure needed it!!

Hope everyone finds something to be thankful for today. If your arm hurts-be thankful you have an arm. If your kids are driving you nuts- be thankful they are healthy. If your job sux-be thankful you are getting a paycheck and there a monster.com available...etc, etc, etc....

I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT--I haven't said that in awhile, so thought I would remind you...
