Protein Protein Protein!!!

Well I can finally say I have found a protein shake I like.  It only took 8 weeks.  Ugh!  I bought some Jay Robb Vanilla Protein Powder and I blend it with milk, frozen strawberries, half a banana, a few pieces of pineapple, and some ice cubes and I'm a happy little camper.  Now if only I had a place to blend up my protein shakes at work without disturbing anyone.  I am going to try pre-making it tomorrow and bring it to work.  Hoping it goes ok.  Figured if I put it in my shaker bottle, I can just shake it up prior to drinking.  Unfortunately it wont have a shake like consistency, but it gets the job done!

Now on to the weight.  I have finally hit ONEderland!!!  That's right, I'm at 198 lbs, with a total loss of 79 lbs!  As usual, it is difficult for me to see, but it becomes real when someone passes me without even saying hi because they don't recognize me.  Weird!  Although the weight loss has been fairly quick, it has NOT been easy.  I still think about food a lot and it can be frustrating when what I'm eating is so good but I can only eat about 3 Tbsp of it.  BUT I signed up for this and knew it wasn't going to be easy.  The quick cure is looking at a past picture of me and all those food cravings go away because I am so utterly disgusted with how unhealthy and heavy I was!  

Another week ahead of making sure I'm getting in my 65-70 grams of protein each day AND my 64 oz of water/liquids.  Always a challenge, but I'm up for it.  :-)
