Tried something new

This morning I am trying a Cytomax protein water. 20oz, 40g protein 160 cal. even has 25% of your calcium.

 

Not too bad, but super sweet. I am cutting it with water. My nut said it can count as my water after surgery. I tried the Tropical flavor. Kind of pina-colda tasting. I might try freezing some into icecubes and then running through a slushy machine. Would be kind of like having an icey.

 

Mother's day was kind of a bummer. Had to get up and make breakfast because my daughter had a friend sleepover and she had to leave early for church. I say "had to", I didn't "have to", but I always feel like Ineed to take care of guests.

 

Kids gave me cards, then I think hubby was feeling bad, so he was trying to whisper to my son to go up to the store and buy me some flowers. Don't bother. After the fact don't count with me. A little thought before hand would have meant more. Oh well, no time for a pity-party now. I am taking back my life, and the rest of them be damned :cursing:

YAY for finding a new protein, what's the carb count on those? And, is the calcium citrate or carbonate?

I got totally screwed on Mother's day too. My kid wanted to play outside with the neighbor kid all day, my husband was worn out from playing softball for about 8 hours on Saturday, and he is sunburnt to a crisp, so he felt horrible, I got nada for Mother's day. And, the kiddo ruined going out to dinner by being a jackas$ and not coming home when he was supposed to be home. Dad grounded him, and we had italian delivered which is not what I wanted, but I didn't want to cook.

Sorry for the hijack, but I wanted to let you know we can be bitter about Mother's day 2010 together.

teehee. It felt good to vent and not feel like a b#%ch.

I looked at the protein water and I cannot find what they are using for calcium in it. That's odd. I will have to google it and see if I can find anything. The calcium was just an added benefit. It is whey protein isolate, so that's a good thing! It is super sweet, so I had to cut it with water. I read somewhere else (either here or OH) that someone didn't like the tropical flavor, but liked the others. I am going to get them and give them a taste. I still think I will freeze some and then run it through my daughter's slushy machine to make ice I can eat. Do you know if the protein is compromised if it is frozen?

OH, BTW before I forget..... I have to say you are an amazing inspiration and an absolute fountain of knowledge. You are so right-on with a lot of your comments to posts - the part about doctor choices, the stomach stretching etc.....Thanks for all you do!!!
