Good morning LW's!

Just tried my first protein coffee and I have to say, yum!
I have been having a hard time with breakfast and seems to be a good alternative with more protein, which I need.
Coffee with cream still tastes bad, but I made some decaf with a packet of unjury vanilla made into a slurry with a little skim milk and a generous shake of cinnamon, and yum! (Thanks Gina for the tip!)

Feeling a little lonely today. Last night hubby left on a motorcycle trip with his buddies and wont be back till sunday. I am missing him something terrible, even after 16 years of being together.
I guess thats a good thing.

Wish me luck today. My best friend and I are going to take a beginners yoga class today at 1:30.
Feeling a nervous and excited. I have been walking alot and most days get over 10000 steps, but have not taken a class in years.

Hope you all have a great day!

Hi Maria!!  Yes, its good you miss him even after 16 years - that's very sweet!!

I took a beginners yoga class last spring - not too bad.  You'll feel some tightness but if you've been exercising, you'll be fine.

I just opened a sample of the Nectar cappacino protein - mixed it in water and YUM.  It has decaf coffee in it and 23 g of protein - tasted just like a cappacino!  I could easily do that everyday for my coffee fix, except I need CAFFEINE!!

Been off caffiene since surgery. I havent tried any yet. I know the NUT says to stay away from it.
I think because of the diurectic effect? Not sure.
Thanks for the support Jody!

Yes, diuretic/dehydration effect and caffeine is a stomach irritant.  But I don't let that stop me.  Now I wish I hadn't switched from decaf... life may be simpler now!

 Enjoy!  Guess what new flavor I'm drinking right now? Chocolate Nectar protein shake mixed with 1/2&1/2, ice water and raspberry SF syrup. MmmMmm! 

Have fun today!

I love the peppermint paddy syrup and it settles my tummy too. 

I also use the syrup in SF hot choc (protein) in the fall/winter - yum!

Sounds like you are doing awesome! Each morning I mix 1 cup of brewed coffee with some chocolate protein powder. I get in 26g of protein and my caffeine and it tastes fine. Try to enjoy your alone time!

Protein powder drinks never go down well for me, but I am going to try with it coffee, do you let it cool down a bit, so it mixes well? You are doing a great job....I miss my husband on his yearly guy trip and it's been over 16 yrs...I think it's a good thing!

 Thanks for the update Maria!  It's definitely a good sign that you miss your man.  I want to take yoga but am so uncoordinated that I'm scared to try!
