What are you eating/doing today? (Friday)

Hey Christine :)

I only drink the Premier Protein shakes, ready-to-drink.  I get them at Costco for about $25 per case of 18.  They only seem to have chocolate at the moment, but they're quite tasty (and trust me, I've tried 'em all lol) and have 30g of protein.  I tend to drink my coffee and shake at the same time, but often once my coffee is 1/2 gone, I will pour the last 1/2 of my shake into it and it's quite delish! 

As for shaking up your routine (pun intended) - very good idea.  I started adding shakes back into my plan about 5 months ago and it's made a HUGE difference in my energy level and overall willingness to eat.  I went through quite a period where I was having a lot of food aversions and was literally forcing myself to eat.  I find if I have the shake in the morning, it sort of "primes" my gut for eating for the rest of the day.  :)

Hiya, I'm struggling with eating enough.
And the scale is not liking it.
So, I am thinking that if I do the shakes it will help.
I hope... lord knows I need help...

Exercise has been a bit less these days, but I have a plan in place for the weekend. 
And soon my beau will be back and he is a huge motivator for me. 
 

Yes, I was struggling with getting enough in as well - hence the shake.  It's helped immensely.
Hope your beau makes it home soon! :)

8 more sleeps!

Awwww... you must miss him.  How long has he been away?

Since mid August....
It's still a new relationship so.... thank god for Skype!

Well, I'll be counting down the days with you!   I hate it when my common-law goes out of town to work.  The first couple of days are ok, and then I kinda miss him.  And then I DO miss him.  And then he comes home and after a couple of days I'm wondering when his next trip is. LOL!

Just kidding.

Hee hee, well we don't live together so that gives us a bit of space :)

You're so right.  It's certainly been a change to the relationship since he moved in a year and a half ago.  Not bad... just different.  And mostly good. :)

Just working. Have to get some laundry and stuff done today, because i have a busy weekend coming up. Going to see the new twilight movie tomorrow am with Trudylam, lunch with her,  then the Barrie support group in the afternoon. Going to Toronto on Sunday, to shop for sparkly shoes with my daughters, to wear to an upcoming xmas party, for my hubby's work. Then a conference in TO on Monday. One day of a three day conference, that's all my idiot boss would allow. Arrgh....

anyway

as you can likely tell from my intake, i'm trying desperately to get and keep things moving.... I'm thinking of asking my family doc for a prescription stool softener. I'm having a really hard time (no pun intended). I've been taking an OTC one, plus as much bran and crap i can get into me, but its just not working.
