Two Points I Care to Share: Family and Food Related;)
1. Family:
I try...Isorta really do try and give a lil' love to our 2 other family members below. Ya'd never know I had a ~150 lb Newfoundland dog, yes folks a freakin' 150lb DOG, and a 'what's the point' kitty (she NEVER let's you touch her..Wuh?) from this here blog. And, half the time I don't think about em' much myself. But this week when they came in from the rains and nestled together in our living room, I'm reminded that they deserve a lil' more love. Especially our newfie...bc he can't help his size, and we live in a ~1100 sq foot house!
So I wanted to give a a word of thanks to these 2 lil' creatures. They each in their own way, make our house complete. With out them, we'd have no dog hair, incessant following me around the house, psycho kitty on the deck each early am demanding food, and so on. And it all works. And we love you. so thank you;-)
2: Food:
In the realm of Thanksgiving/Holidays, I wanted share my coffee kick. Ya'all know I love me some sugar coffees! YUM! But lately, I've found an equal 'kick' replacing my 'sugar/creamer' with my protein shake, and it rocks. But now w/the pumpkin spice/egg nog/ginger bread season upon us, I broke down the reality of adding either some of this Pumpkin Creamer or my Protein Shake to my morning coffee.
And I realized why I gained ~7lbs during the holidays last year..
Because this lil' Pumpkin Spice creamer packs in a whoppin' ~2200 calories per container!! And my Protein Shake?... (justified for volume)...just 480!
yah...case in point for me.
I love me some pumpkin spice coffee...but not THAT much!
So I'm attempting to make it a point to only have 1 of those super yummy flavored coffees a week (vs ~2x/a day!)
ANd those are my 2 points I cared to share;-) Now...Do you have any 2 points you'd care to share? Would love to hear!
I try...I

Hmm, 2 things to share... I'm really excited for Thanksgiving, and really not excited for a 2 hour trainer ride after work today. (thank goodness for Netflix!)
two things:
I should be cooking
I should be shopping
2 things:
1. I'm allergic to dairy but drink one pumpkin spice latte or Holiday london fog with real milk per week anyway.
2. Last night I ate raw cookie dough with a spoon from the container in my freezer. Then whined that I didn't feel good and can't lose weight. Hmmmm....
Pumpkin spice stuff...MMMM
It's funny that you talked about the sweet coffees, but I love starbucks soy chai lattes! Yum! I too, have made a pact not to have more than 1 a week!
2 pts. to share:
1. laundry does NOT fold itself.
2. I don't think I can even pay someone to take my awful funky chicken toy off of my hands.
2. I cannot escape Middle Schoolers!!!!! Dear Heavens.... :-)
Note- I *just* returned from a Kids with Cancer and Family Night where I vol.... and it was the Moms who needed more help relaxing/visualizing/meditating than the KIDS!
We even convinced (we think!) 2 Moms to come back at the adult-only night in 2 weeks!! :-)
Seriously... seeing what these Moms do/go through/etc. for their kids... it blew me away!
The 2 kids I got to work with.. middle schoolers! Both A-named. :-) One (the boy) was so hungry he got an extra pizza and Mom was taking him out for french fries!! :-)
So...thank you to all of you Moms..and to all of the MS folks.. well... I love you! :-)
1. I could stand to be more nurturing.
2. bed times need to be instated. FOR ME!
My husband used to use the hazelnut creamer in his coffee every morning. He decided to switch to honey (in coffee? ew!) and he dropped 10 lbs.!! Unreal.
my two points...hmmm
I'm glad I don't like sweet coffee, ha!
Need to do more sketching..falling behind in my sketchbook project.
Curious about the protein shake and coffee... you just add it instead of the creamer?
