    My new favorite protein/after workout drink is: 1/2 c of dark chocolate almond milk, 1 c of brewed coffee, 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder. I love the flavor and the coffee adds an extra kick :)

    As much as i love my coffee black this sounds really tasty :)

    Took my grandson to get a flu shot today and while I was at it got one myself.


    My Tip: I love Dr.Oz, I get to watch him some because I am retired so thought I would give you workin' girls a tip from Dr. Oz.
    To speed up your metabolism eat pickled peppers. The vinegar prevents storage of fat and the capsasin raises metabolism.

    My tip is thEre is always time for exercise. Whether you dance to a song while you
    Are getting ready or if you walk up and down the stairs an extra time or two. It all counts! So Dobruja if you are ever feeling down.

    My good deed for this friday...Someone started a Boo chain (you give treats to someone secretly with a little poem, and they copy the poem and pass on to someone with more treats. Well theres a guy at work that doesn't have a way to get the candy and candy bags to do this, so I made bags for him to use, and another coworker has extra treats to fill his bag. Now he won't feel left out. :bigsmile:

    Yesterday's RAOK was on the ride home from work and my son's school. I *tried* to let in a few people but no one took my SPOT! So I kept trying and about a mile away from home someone took advantage of my good deed and moved into my lane.

    California drivers can be soooo frustrating....

    I picked up a friend at Enterprise so she wouldn't have to wait for someone to bring her to the office.

    todays RAOK is taking my homemade fall soup and a batch of roasted brussel sprouts to my grammy.. I'm also putting some of my favorite diet snacks together for my cousin who is also on a weight loss journey. A lot of her funds go to her teenage son and her rescue kittys.. Figured she would like to give some yummy over priced treats a try...lol Hope everyone has a wonderful sunday :) GOD IS GOOD!!!

    Happy Monday!

    Wasn't on at all this weekend. We just had too much to do.

    Our random acts this weekend. On Friday I treated my friend out to a movie and bought his ticket for him. He's very kind and helps out around the house with technology things so I wanted to treat him.

    Then yesterday, my mom and I helped make way for a woman in a rolling chair. She was very sweet and gave my son a high five for helping her through the doorway. I was very proud of my little man :happy:

    Katie

    My RAOK for today:

    My co-worker has been wanting to start dieting and asked me to remind her to remind her to call this doctor that I went to about my weight loss. So instead of just reminding her I made a pretty little note with all of his information on it and stuck it to her phone so she won't forget! :)
