Hot Cocoa

So, I know that I talked previously on the blog about the sampler pack of BariWise hot chocolate that I bought. It's very good! I'm not a huge fan of some of the flavors, but the Raspberry, and Original Chocolate are very yummy! Now, as I also think I mentioned, it's a bit on the pricey side. Well, I've found an alternative. :D It's so simple, it's stupid. So, I was looking for a way to boost my protein last night, and I didn't want to break into my last packet of BariWise (15g protein). So, I remembered that my 1% milk has about 1g protein/1 oz. milk. Not bad, all in all. So, I took a Swiss Miss Light packet (2g protein), and mixed it with 8 oz. of hot 1% milk (8g protein). Boom! Instant 10g protein added to my day. The Swiss Miss Light only has 2g sugar, and 25 calories. Plus, it's only like $3.50ish a box at Meijer... much cheaper than the $15/box for the BariWise. :)

Yesterday at work, I had two co-workers that I hadn't seen in about two weeks that just exclaimed over seeing me again, and kept asking me how much more weight I've lost. I really don't think I've lost much more since I last saw them, but that means that I'm losing inches again. :D I'm down to 249# right now, which is the lowest I've been... in a LONG. LONG. LONG. Time. Like, I can't tell you the last time that I was under 250#... maybe when I was 16 and got my license? That's why my license says 250# on it... that's what I told them one time, and they just keep copying it over, and I've never corrected them. Oops. ;) Bet your ass I'll correct them next time. In addition to that, I put on a Large shirt last night, and it's getting more comfortable to wear. Not a visible enough change to progress via photo, but more comfortable overall. I'm going to have to keep trying on the size 16 pants until I get into them. :D Right now I'm still in 18's.

So, how's your week going? Anything exciting coming your way? Looks like we're due for 5-12" of snow this Friday night. -.- I hate snow. Good news is that if it comes Friday, it should be cleared by Monday... right? Right.
