Good Morning LW'S!!!   I hope anyone living in the high wind alert zones have the option to stay in this morning.  The wind chill factor is suppose to be -36 today.  I'm Praying DH's company lets them stay inside.  He promised to call me often today so I don't keep worrying.

I'm posting early because since schools are delayed and I don't have to get DGD's to school I'm going into work so I can the work done that I didn't get to do because of my 3 hour Dr. appt. on Friday.  I doubt I will have time to post again until this evening.

Now's a good time to get it off before it gets out of control!! 

I love your variety!!  Are you getting enough protein in?

I've struggled with protein since forever.  I can't stand the shakes and protein bars aren't worth the calories/carbs.  I got 63 grams yesterday and that was high for me.  I just have never found a protein drink that I can stomach and believe me I've tried everything.  I know I should just suck it up and chug it down but I'm just not there yet.  :(

I only live in a high wind alert zone when I've chocolate, he he!! :-D

It was a busy day today and I've got plenty to do on Tuesday - oh well at least the week is gonna fly!! 

Funny Girl....LOL

I love cheesecake too!!  I used to put SF cheese cake pudding powder in my Fage Greek Yogurt....yum!!!  I haven't had that in a long time. I'm allowed Fage so I need to find out if I'm allowed the pudding.  I'm guessing not.  Just checked and I'm not allowed.  It contains the word Phenylalanine on the label whatever that is. 

Sounds 95% Good...LOL.

Hi Roz

We are getting the bitter cold and high winds moving in this afternoon.  My place in MI got hit hard with the snow - 15.5"  That's almost unheard of anymore there.  This winter is coming in hard!  My sister sent me pics... and the COLD!  My daughter has to go work in it tonight (I'm SO grateful she didn't have to work the past few days in this snow/cold).  It will still be cold but hopefully the snow will stop and get cleaned up for the most part.  My sister just told me they have parts of the interstate closed off because of 4' drifts and cars in the ditch/median.

My eating hasn't been good for the past week or so.  I need to get back on track here.  Good news is - I found a new shaker cup in my cupboard!  Maybe I'll use it - lol. 

B - coffee

L - leftover scrambled egg goodies (yep - I made a LOT of it!)

S - I got hungry so more leftove rscrambled egg goody

D - not sure, but I have some chicken to cook up

Vits:  yes

water:  working on it.

15.5 "....I can't even imagine!!!   DH and I didn't get much sleep last night because the wind was so bad. We've been told we live on the highest part in our county. We can see blinker lights miles away during the summer.  During the 4th of July fireworks we can see groups of fireworks in every direction.  My porch was empty this morning and DH had to go find everything.  I always feel so bad for him but he doesn't seem to mind the cold.

I don't remember...what is the scrambled egg goodies? My Dr. wants me to eat 1 scrambled egg and then add eggbeater whites so make up for my Protein drink.  Since I definitely can't drink the Mint Cookie for breakfast I guess I will try the eggs.

I told my DH I wanted a new shaker cup for Christmas but I didn't get one.  Men don't really listen.

Sounds like you are really working on your Protein....Good for you!!

I worked from home this afternoon and all my team is working from home tomorrow. School districts are closing tomorrow all around us. Still waiting to hear my county named.  Stay inside and stay safe, Roz.

All of the schools in our are were closed today and again tomorrow.  I guess temperature is a record low for our area. I was shocked when I heard the list of stores that are closed. 

Do you put anything in your yogurt to sweeten it?  It's just soooo sour to me.  It really surprises me that I am allowed to have Fage.

I was going to make meatloaf for dinner tomorrow but I made meatballs instead.  We have the DGSons tomorrow night and the meatballs will be easier to get  them to eat.
