I'm ready!

This is my stash so far. The box on the floor has vitamin and protein samples. Still pretty excited at this point. I started a weekly countdown on my work calendar. 16 weeks to go! I have made an outline of how my YouTube videos are going to go. And daily blog entries while I'm off from work.

Somehow I'm the last few weeks, I have decided I want to start the couch to 5k program. I have never run and even hated it in high school. But I'm willing to try because I need to prove to myself I can stop being lazy and do something good for me. I found a fun version of the ct5k called Zombies run! Narrates in between your tracks for a story. I'm excited to try this program and will review it once I have started it.

I think Tim is getting tired of me talking about my surgery too. But we'll cross that bridge another time. Anyways, laters lovies.

17 weeks to go.

So.. 17 weeks to go until surgery. I'm getting excited. I will start recording videos of reviews of samples I have around now.. I have amassed quite a large stash. I'm only going to review things I have a before and after amount of. 

Speaking of recording, Also tried to see how YouTube likes my webcam built into my laptop.. it doesn't. 
lots off video lag. so .. my HTC ONE  wins again. I did a sample video for both and there was ZERO lag with the phone. 

I'm getting addicted to pinterest.. There should be a warning label on their website sign up page. pinning all kinds of info and recipes.. 

And I have lost 14lbs from Jan at my first appt to now. I have been trying to eat less and kicked my diet coke and now the tea and i'm solely on water. Water reduces the foods I eat by half because a lot of things don't taste right to me if i'm drinking water with them. Or they make my tummy hurt.. Like popcorn... my tummy hates mixing popcorn and water. so water wins! 

so lovies, time for bed. early morning. <3

Approved!

Well, I got the call. My insurance approved me!. Now I justt have to cal back in August to make my pre-op appt with the surgeon for Sept so that he can set a date in Oct. I was really excited about everything up until this weekend  when I actually thought about the morning of the surgery. going to the hospital and then needles and then being put under and waking up in recovery. Its kinda scary now. I have also completely kicked the Diet Coke! Tea was my gateway for about a month and now i have switched to completely water. I dont like flavored waters so plain is ok by me.

I have a ton of stuff stashed away for after surgery. From Protein powder samples to RTD shakes to liquid gummy and chewable vitamins to little cute lunch boxes for protioning out my food. I have also been trying some really good protein shake recipes.


Heres one:

1) vanilla protein powder serving and  liquid per directions( i used skim milk for more protein)
2)fat free lemon yogurt ( regular or greek)
3) handful of ice
4)teaspoon(or less if its too much) lemon extract

mix and let sit until foam settles ( it tastes really gross)

I make mine at night and drink next morning...

It tastes like lemon cake batter.

Enjoy!
