Can't believe how much of a good mood I am in right now and decided to take advantage of it.

Update, saw my PCM and he decided on a low estrogen birth control pill that also contains iron!! YAY! Extra Iron ( considering I keep forgetting to take mine, this is great news )  Also got my flu shot and he was extremely proud of my weight loss and said I was looking amazing!!!!
( sometimes need to hear that from people other than hubby) ALL IS GOOD THERE!!!

The really good news is I did NOT kill my family with my massive bout of PMS! I personally think they would have deserved it but then again who knows LOL.

OK Traveling, will be 12 hours in the car with many stops in between, should there be anything I need to do differently? I have a plug in fridge so I can bring yogurt, cheese and even cottage cheese. What else can I do to make it an easy drive to Indiana and Kansas?

Awesome report, Stacey. Rock on, babeeee!

Traveling, I always take extra water and those little straws of SF cranberry powder to add to the water. Have a good trip.

He said it may take a few months for it to fully work becaus eof the absorption issue but to try it anyway. He feels there should not be too many issues with it. Recommended taking it just before bed so it will stay put longer.

I'm glad you're in a great mood! Yah, PMS gets me like that too and watch out...

Keep up the good job on losing baby...it is nice to hear it from others. I know our hubby's know if they don't keep up the compliments, they have to sleep with one eye open...lol 

Anyways, on the traveling....in addition to your great supply and the other's suggestions...I like to stash away a few protein bars. Never know when they will come in handy. 

Have a safe and fun trip!!

Glad things are working out for you.  I always pack lots of protein powder and my shaker cup. Almost anywhere you stop you can ge****er and ice.    I usually don't pack jerky and nuts because we always stop and that gives me an option to buy when everyone else is buying junk food.

Stacey, great report from your PCM. 

I take my protein and a small ice chest with water and ice to make my protein drinks.  I put the protein in small tupperware bowls with snap lids.

We usually stop somewhere and I might get nuts or if we are eating we usually stop at a Wendy's so I can get a small chili.

Have fun on your trip.
