Good Morning. Blech! There are some awful protein powders out there!

I'm out of my beloved IDS MultiPro vanilla-cinnamon and my shipment of 4 - 5 pound buckets is back ordered. {sigh} This morning I made protein coffee with 2 other brands and OMG!    The least awful of my extra buckets was Body Fortress vanilla. I added a capsule of cinnamon and an additional Splenda to choke it down. Don't try Labrada ProV60. All I could taste was the the yucky protein flavor coming through. I really should have gone to VitaminShoppe and bought a tub of Syntrax Nectar Vanilla. Their creamy protein powders don't taste bad at all.  

Back ordered IDS Vanilla-Cinnamon, please hurry!    

On another note, Son#2 is teasing me unmercifully about "my dealer" coming to town to visit. Vitalady will be in town soon and we have all kinds of meetings and get togethers set up. He thinks it's funny that we all love our supplier so much.

Y'all have a great Wednesday. Whatcha up to today?

I used the Body Fortress vanilla for a few months after my surgery.  Now the taste gags me.  Isnt it funny how our taste changes?    I still use the Body Fortress chocolate daily though.

My plans for today includes grocery shopping for last minute things for our weekend camping trip.  I cant wait to get away for a few days.  And Gina, since I'll be away, I'll take the time to wish you a Happy Birthday now.  I hope your day is filled with fun & surprises!

Have a great day LWs!    Cindy

I have another week before my camping trip.  It will be my first trip with my new horse trailer which has a weekender package for camping.  That just means a bed, stove, frig, sink.  So I have to clean out the old trailer, pack up the new one with the horse stuff then pack the living space with the stuff from the RV.  You get the picture.  It's a used trailer but I am thrilled to finally have something to camp in.  We had a great time last year on our trip with the RV but reality is that DH really doesn't want to camp and I do and I really want to do it with the horses.  So this seems like the perfect change, from RV to camping trailer.  We'll see.  Anyway I leave 7-10 with it and both ponies for 4 days in Blowing Rock and can't wait.

Price - my girlfriend has one of those huge horse trailers with living quarters - she goes horse camping all the time.  We have a horse camp not too far away, so that's good too.  She absolutely loves it!

I have recently gone back to Nectar after wandering around for a while with GNC and Body Fortress.  The thing I notice is how much easier it mixes, other than the lemon tea.  I'm into mixing Cappachino and Vanilla 1/2 and 1/2 for my protein coffee in the morning and hot chocolate protein at night before bed.  When I did Body Fortress, I always added a shot of SF syurp, carmel, chocolate, or something to it.  You might try that to help you get to your order coming.  I will also say that my hair seems to have stopped, mostly, or at least slowed down, falling out since changing to more expensive protein.  Related?  Don't know, but I like it.

Aw, Ava, you are so sweet.  I do think he is pretty happy with all of me.  Thanks.

Did I ever tell you my favorite Aunt in the whole world and favorite person growning up was my Aunt Ava.  Quite a Lady she was.  Lots of similarities in the two of you.

The healthy new hair growth may be related to the protein powder (it certainly helps), but when the rapid weight loss phase is over, the new hair growth takes over. It may be a combination of the two. My hair is so much healthier than it was, a couple of months ago. It started getting healthier as the weight loss slowed.
