What's on your Thursday Menu?

Good Morning! Oh crap I have so much to do that it's not even funny. On top of 1000 other things I didn't get to yesterday, I am giving a training today at 2pm. I wrote it a month ago and haven't looked at it since! That is only one of the many problems I am about to face but I think I'm remaining remarkably chill about it. I could easily have worked until midnight, and in previous jobs I would have, but everything here is a lot more "go with the flow" so I didn't work late :) I am going to take the 5:45am train and hope for the best. But really -- wish me luck because I am soooooo not ready for anything happening today!

QOTD: Are you generally a rule setter, rule follower, or rule breaker? I am a rule setter / follower. I don't break rules unless the rule is immoral or is about calorie restriction, lol.

Accountability: Is it possible to have a negative number of steps? I also never bothered to eat dinner.

• protein coffee
• egg bites
• hard boiled eggs & veggies
• black truffle popcorn
• I really need to make the steak

Mornin y'all. QJB, slay the day! Ylu've got this!

I've only slept a combo of 1.5 hours of sleep. Hopefully sometime I'll pass out for at least another hour or so. It's going to be an interesting day! Pain is just being in my face and not quieting down at all. On top of the normal stuff I pulled something in my right thigh or it could be from a cramp it had night before last.

I'm still riding high from my Walmart clearance isle find. In case you missed my update post yesterday I found a Creami on clearance for 100 bucks even. It had slight box damage so we asked if we could inspect it and they agreed. It works perfectly! I am soooo excited. My mom leant me the money for it and I know I'll eventually need more pint jars! Woot! First pint will be banana protein ice cream. Sheila, I may pick your brain for your favorite ones. I have almost a full case of vanilla PP shakes and some unflavored protein powder.

QOTD: an even mix of both.

B: eggs, sausage, cheese and coffee x 3

L: PP ice cream

D: ????

have a good one!

Yay, I'm so happy for you. PP is the best base for all protein icecreams. If you add sf jello pudding powder (I tbsp) they say it makes it more creamy. Google or look on TikTok for a plethora of recipes.

OH has a recipe for protein pops that should make great protein ice cream.

What did you think of using Fairlife?

Are you talking about fairlife milk or their Core Power line?

All is fine, and all work great. I just happen to buy PP, so I use them mostly. In my neck of the woods I can't find Core Power, the closest Walmart to me is about 45-60 minutes drive. And Costco i**** and miss for finding them.

Any of their protein shakes. I get the regular 30 gram ones at Costco. Do you have Vons/Albertson near you? Ours carry Core, both the 26 and 42 grams shakes.

Have you added yogurt to any mixes yet?

I guess any liquid works (people use almond milk too). For my purposes which is replacing a meal with icecream, I try to add as much as protein I can, hence the PP + protein powder.
I have not added yogurt yet, I'm still playing with basic flavors/ingredients, but it's on my to-try list.
We have Safeway, Target, Trader Joe, Whole Foods. It's no big deal I can't find the corepower, I really like my PPs.

Big PP fan here too. I can only find the core ones in chocolate so I just usually stick with PP. I do like the chocolate cookie dough one a lot but it's hard to find at a decent price. Vanilla from Sam's is my go to. You can make it taste however you want. Made the vanilla with banana pudding and flavoring i put up last night! Soooo good! I didn't expect it to be so loud though lol

The seagull must be my spirit animal!
