Here we go---sailing this boat together!

Morning crew mates!  Hope your holiday party barge is sailing along smoothly.

Yesterday turned out to be quite fun. A co-worker called about 2:00 and invited us over for burgers. She and her husband are such a pair, so much fun! We laughed and giggled and had a great time.

Here's my day:

turkey bkfst sausage scrambled w/ eggbeaters, English muffin
leftover mongolian grill from Friday
burger, baked beans, a few grilled shrimp
shortcake cup w/ fresh fruit/lite cool whip

Not a bad day, but boy, did I over eat @ dinner. Not a good feeling. Should know better.

It's hot.  92 degrees and muggy is not what we're used to in Western NY.

Watermelon and cottage cheese for breakfast.  Coffee is iced.

I should'a bought a new air conditioner.  Or two.

Eating light the past few days.  Hydrating.

New idea, at least to me...

I want cold liquids and fruit.  Don't much care if I eat anything else when it's this hot and muggy.

I'd OD on plain old watermelon if I could, but the carbs alone would make me dump.  Sooo....Threw a couple scoops of seedless watermelon into the blender, added a couple scoops of protein powder, and blended it till it got thick and frothy.  Poured over LOTS of crushed ice, and instant smoothie!  I get my watermelon, and lots of protein to boot, and I don't have to eat anything!  Just the ticket for a day like today.

I've done it with other fruits, but the watermelon never entered my head.  I'm sure others have done it before me.  Now I go look to see what other fruit I have in the house.

I can eat my weight in watermelon, believe me!  But I don't think I'd want to drink it. What flavor protein did you use?  Sounds like  a great summer treat.

Try to stay cool, I know you're not used to the heat. It's cranking up to be one hot one, isn't it?

I used Designer Whey, vanilla flavor.  The only complaint I had with the watermelon is that once it blends into a liquid, there's not much of it.  Made a rather small smoothie, but very tasty.

No, I'm not used to the the heat or the humidity.  Trying not to complain,. because I complain all the time how cold I am.  I should just shut up and enjoy it.

But, whew!  It's gonna be like this all week.  Glad I can just lay around and do nothing.

Wish I could just lay around and do nothing. I guess I'll have to wait until I do my plastics, but that's not really what I'd call relaxing.

It's been a long time coming, but worth it.
