Hey HEY!

I worked out hard yesterday, lotsa reps and highest incline/weight I could do, and today my muscles are complaining - not screaming - just wining, big suck!  So I vacuumed and washed the floors, which is workout in itself!

Remember I had the 'issue' with booking my Mom's flight?  Well on a whim this morning, I checked the flights again, and there were some more seat sales!  Long story short, we got it booked!  My failure feeling is now just a feeling, was it karma? Hmm cue the soundtrack for whatever that movie was.

Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good today, just a bit tired and sore.

Keeping up with doing my supplements at noon, except for the few times I forget, but that seems to be working.
On a HUGE note, WebMD posted yesterday on Twitter that tests have now shown that there is a link to MS from having a Vitamin D deficiency, and I think I said that in a previous post but that is SO exciting!  Even though I do believe in the supplementing, there's always the possibility in the back of my mind that it's not true.  Like I said I DO pass anything new or different I'm planning/thinking by my Dr. who tells me what he thinks, so I know I won't be hurting myself in any way.

I did up my dosage of oral Vit B12. Seeing as I haven't injected for a couple weeks past when I should have, I'll up the oral dose and see if that makes a difference in my energy level. We'll see, I'll keep ya posted.

My new 'fave' for a healthy protein shake is
1 frozen banana cut in chunks
1 heaping tsp cocoa
1 handful (about 1/3c) trailmix(unsalted)
1 scoop chia seeds
about 1/2c skim milk


I buzz this in my little blender/processor, till it's the consistency of ice cream.  

I feel like it's bad but it's not!
The frozen banana gives it the sweetness, the nuts and milk give it protein, the raisins give it carbs.
You need carbs for your body to metabolize the protein, and the cocoa is an antioxidant without the sugar.  Sugar is my enemy!!  I love it but...

That being said I did fall last night and had a small dish of ice cream. I confess. I'm weak.
So sue me!
