Hi Everybody! Sorry it has been so long. All I can say is that since I have started having my protein shakes for breakfast and making (or trying to make) better choices the rest of the time…I have been BUSY! I have defiantly noticed that I have lots more energy. Hence, less time for blogging. I failed to take into account that might happen. Alas.... I even painted the hallway this week. That’s only been on the To-Do List for ummmm….5 years or so. Now don’t get me wrong, I have made a few mistakes. But at least I realized it and have moved on. No big deal…no reason to fall off the wagon. Just do better with the next choice. For example the other night at Qudoba; in the car on the way home The Hubbs and I looked at each other and said at exactly the same moment, “we should have shared a burrito!” We won’t make that mistake again for a long time I can promise you. And of course dinner at my parents house when one of their dear friends brought over a concoction called “Shoo Fly Pie”. Has anyone ever heard of this? Shoo Fly Pie is basically molasses on pie crust. Grotesque. We were all so excited when we heard the word "pie" and we cut pretty big pieces. At the first bite we knew we had made a huge mistake. But, we didn't want to offend the maker, who was sitting right there and love, love, tripple loved hers. I’m not going to go into details about what happened later on as the after effect of shoo here but if anyone ever offers you any, run, don’t walk, away. Don’t eat it!


Now for the past couple of weeks I have been enjoying the chocolate flavor Cinch shake from Shaklee. It really is yummy. Now, I have tried just about every meal supplement, energy, health, whatever shake out there and this one is the ONLY one that I have liked with the exception of Kashi. Here’s what’s so great about it…it doesn’t taste like fake chocolate and fake sugar. Seriously. Has anyone ever read any of the labels on those things? The second ingredient is usually some form of “ose”. Glucose, sucrose, etc…all gross, all bad for you. This is really good, fills me up, and gives me more energy than usual. I haven’t even been drinking as much coffee! Sometimes I jazz it up and add a banana and some peanut butter. I call that “Elvis Style”. I am so pleased with how things have been going I placed an order for the vanilla just the other day. Yea me!
