Starbucks swap-a-roo

I’m envious of you protein drinking chicks (and dudes of course) out there, so I am trying to get my creativity on with the infamous pre and post op necessity!

I have been sick lately, just achy and congested, chapped face, etc…looking super hot…LOL…so I haven’t been eating a whole hell of a lot lately. 

Today when I got home from work I thought I would have a shake to get my protein up, and I decided on a Mint Chocolate “Frappacino”.

I bought myself this fancy double lined cup from the Buxs before Christmas, and I must tell you, I love it.  It comes with this fancy straw and a “sealed” lid.  The shake recipe:

Libby’s Mint Chocolate “Frappacino”

8 oz. Skim Milk

1 scoop Click

1 scoop Mint Chocolate Bariatric Fusion or SEI Ultimate Chocolate Chip Mint

A decent size squirt of Smuckers Sugar Free Chocolate Sundae Syrup

5-6 ice cubes

It turned out very creamy, and quite good.  I topped mine off with a little whippage and a bit more SF Chocolate syrup that didn’t really want to come out of the bottle too well…

I’m off to sit under a quilt and sip my shake…Happy Wednesday Friends!

    Not sure if they will...hmmm...they should for the amount of $$ I drop there weekly! Isn't Click the best?!

The ugly truth

The truth is...I'm in recovery. The other truth is emotionally, I'm a disaster. I haven't written in here because the truth is, losing libby was originally about weight loss surgery and how much weight I've weight I lost. In the past few months, more emotionally damning crap has happened to me, my family, my parent(s), my brother, and many people in my ever shrinking circle. I am an addict. I am well educated. I live in the suburbs. I have a child. I have serious mental health issues. I tell you all of the ugly in an attempt to hold myself accountable for the things I have done, the things I have put my family through, and most important...what I have done to myself. If you would have told me five years ago or so that I would be unemployed, filing for disability, and doing medication assisted treatment for addiction...I would have laughed in your face and said you were crazy. The truth is, like many other Americans, I'm not the only one. How d...

Highs, Lows, and coming to blows

I have not blogged since June, before my munchkin was born. I have been struggling. I have been happy, sad, and everything in between. I constantly feel in limbo, not only about motherhood, but just life in general. I am going to be the first to admit that I definitely let my health and weight loss goals go to complete shit after I had this guy: He is perfect. His mother, though, is not. A few of my friends have starting blogging. Some about weight loss, mommy-hood, couponing, you name it. They all inspired me to start writing in this again. I was going to start a new blog, but then I thought ya know what, I'm still me. Deep down in this dark hole I have created, the old me is there. The person I once was. I hope you'll bear with me on this journey to find happiness and health again. I know it's there. March 1, 2012 Weight: too fricken scary to even get on scale, maybe tomorrow. Mood: Mediocre to Blah Day: Typical - nothing bad or good to report
