Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES  during the Honeymoon Period.

TGIF!!!   Looking forward to the weekend!  It's going to busy but fun!!  Going to the Farm Show tonight with DD#3 and family.  The kids are going to love riding all of the rides and seeing the animals. Tomorrow is shopping with DD#1 for Cruise and School clothes. DD#2 has to be out of her house by next Friday and they can't get into their new house for a few more weeks so I'll stop down there to see if she needs any emotional support and help her clean.  I'm not sure if they are going to be staying with us or not.  Before they put in an offer for the new house they were going to rent but things have changed now. It would be great to be able to see our 4 DGDs every day for a couple of weeks.

Sounds like an awesome weekend! I'm working today and tonight I have kiddos. Sat afternoon time with the boyfriend and a housewarming bday party at 6, wearing a new dress because ....I can! Sunday going to his house to help him work on the house and get ready for first day of school for me. I had not mentioned before but well, he's the most wonderful person I've ever shared my time with, and I intend to keep him.  

B-protein coffee-26g

s-nada forgot my protein water at home!

l-Greek 100-10g

s-protein water after we get it!-26g

d-soup? 

S-healthy fat, prob avocado. Egg last night wouldn't digest despite being puréed. :/. 

Protein water? Why do I not know about this? What is it and where do I get it? Now that I'm back to work for the new school year, I'm having an awful time sticking to a meal/snack schedule and getting my protein in. Protein water sounds like the perfect solution (and a discreet way to eat in the middle of a meeting or when I'm running down the hallway to the next meeting).

A good man is hard to find. Congrats!

This is the one I've heard of Special K Protein 

• "Each packet contains 5 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber"

There's a 30% off Amazon voucher here

Looks like an easy way to sneak in a little extra protein. It's whey isolate, which is great, but a ton of other unpronounceable ingredients. Why do food companies have to do that?!

 Protein water = fruit punch from dollar general mio like product, Isopure unflavored and empty powerade bottle, add water and protein from blender bottle and the "mio". I didn't love the ice tea version, still trying flavors. It's not too many steps and cheap! Isopure bottled is cray expensive. 

Very creative! And endless flavor possibilities. Think I'll experiment next week. Thanks for the idea!

Roz, your weekend sounds like a blast. While you're enjoying your family, I'll be prepping for two teacher workshops I'm facilitating next week. But next weekend, look out!

Menu...

LOL, I thought this said 'TGIF, I pooped' ha ha!! 

I'm posting late coz I visited my parents tonight - it's great having them living nearby and I really should visit more!!

How Cute!!!!
