Yes......same as me.  I was 'goofing' around though (drinking wine) and haven't really done much exercise.  I am back on track now (only day 2) but am feeling really motivated.

Topic: RE: Protein balls

Perhaps this is it:  

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup oatmeal (not instant)

1 scoop protein powder (chocolate flavor is good)

5 packets Splenda

In 2 quart bowl, microwave peanut butter only a few seconds to make it soft enough to make mix in the rest of the ingredients.  Roll into about two dozen walnut-sized balls.  Wrap individually and keep in refrigerator.
