The NIGH****CHMAN - 6/4-5 Weekend edition
Yesterday was good. Gave Mary a budget for the scrapbook convention and she stayed in it. Said she could have easily gone over. I knew that going in.
Not much else going on in my world.
Just a reminder, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

Vivian Prouty Obesity Help Support Group Coach "LOSE IT 4 LIFE"
Had a busy afternoon today. V had an allergy appt. for her next dose of allergy drops. After that, we buzzed down to Dr. Garth's office to meet with him as well as a few others as some changes were being made to the non-surgical weight loss groups which V is in. Tanya was there as she now works there - she looked good and seems very happy there.
Probably going to be buying a Vita Mix. The emulsion blenders will help V get her veggies in as she HATES eating them. I had purchased the one Montel Williams endorses but after reading some bad reviews about how the unit starts to seep oil after a month or two, I just don't want to keep it. I haven't used it yet so I won't have any problem returning it. This one was $200 (minus 20% from Bed, Bath and Beyond coupon) which is more than one typically would spend on a machine like that but the Vita Mix is double that so a huuuge kick in the head, buuut, it has a seven year warranty. After talking with a few people who have them, that's definitely a better unit. Kind of like a Kitchen Aid mixer - once you get one, you'll have it your entire life.
Ok, my sis needs to use my 'puter so I gotta run for now... Keep your fingers crossed that Heather will do well on her SAT test tomorrow!
I've got the Ninja too, but the Vita Mix just liquifies everything. If you blend it long enough, the friction from the blades heats up the contents so it makes fresh soup. V absolutely HATES veggies and not a huge fan of fruit. She likes the juice, but not the fruit itself in "chunky" form. All the nutrition stays in there as you blend up the seeds and all. So cool. Paul will definitely suffer from "sticker shock" but once he has a few things from it, I think he'll be impressed....
