Wow what wonderful Wednesday

Couldn't help is, the W's just kept popping up there in the topic line.  It is a wonderful day, I am thankful that my tool is working and I finally started dropping a few more pounds.  Any plans for the day everyone.  I am working on cleaning off the kitchen counter top.  Yesterday's dishes are almost done.  It feels nice to start the day with space to work.  Speaking of starting the day.  What protein source are you having for breakfast?  I started the day with cinnamon malt o meal with extra powdered milk added to the prep water.  Got in an extra 12 grams of protein with my cereal.  Yup, yup, working on the protein intake.  Already mixed up a couple 32 oz bottles of crystal light with my benefiber.  So glad that the fiber just disappears in the water.  Magic it is. 

Still dark out there, no idea what the weather has in store for the day.  Snowing when I went to bed last night, reminded me of the snow you see inside a snow globe.  Crunched underfoot as Dennis and I walked to the gym.  Got in 45 minutes on the treadmill last evening.  Pushed myself a little and even had the incline up to 10% for a bit.  I usually do the fat burner program, liking the random changes in incline.  I still play with and increase some of the inclines.  I could feel the workout in my thighs.  Starting to get a little definition to the quads under the layer of fat still there.  Uh huh, uh huh...

Well off to wash a few more things that have been soaking in the sink.  No work scheduled today, popping in here and there to see what everyone has to say.  Til later.  Hugs, Kathy

Good Morning Kathy,
Thank you for posting every morning. Since my RNY surg 11/17/09 your post is the first thing I read, before the news! Thanks for getting in the correct mind set to start m day with protein and be thankful for each day in this recovery. I just wanted you to know that your daily posts are appreciated.

Thank you Shannon, I am no substitute for the news, just another source of daily babble.  I don't catch the news much, sleeping odd hours due to my work schedule.  Good to see that I connect with people.

I got a phone call from work shortly after I posted this morning.  Spent the day shift at work, odd to be there during daylight hours.  Felt good to get home and put my feet up for a bit.


How are things going for you since surgery?  Hugs, Kathy

Hi Kathy!
  I am diligent about my protein, too.  Today I had cottage cheese and then a half bottle of isopure clear liquid - 20 grams of protein in that alone!  I mix it with a half cup of apple juice and a cup of water, along with 2 teas. benefiber!  Gotta keep that system going!
  I had 1/2 cup of ground turkey chili w/black beans I made along with a string cheese.  Protein is going well!
  I wish I was home putzing in the kitchen, but I'll get my turn soon.  Have a great Wednesday.

Hugs, Mary

How are things going in your home, liquid diet for Michael yet?  Good that you can be there for each other.  Hugs, Kathy

Michael has started the liquid diet.  He has one day done now!  We are hoping he will be on track for his surgery on the 16th, but he has had a couple other medical things come up.  Crossing fingers and saying prayers!
Hugs.  Mary
