Yup.....I'm with the band!

Welcome to my online journal of my journey from fat girl to phat girl :) I had the Lap Band surgery in 2007 and I'm closing in on my goal weight... this next year is critical in reaching this goal and moving past a lot of junk and poor habits.

I'm in love and it's not with a Man.... or a Woman! LOL! I'm in love with Beach Body and what it has helped me accomplish in the last three years. The Lap Band is not a gimmick and it isn't an unlockable Chasity Belt. It's HARD HARD work and what's made it possible for me to lose these 90+ lbs, however, slowly is Beach Body. Yoga Booty Ballet and Hip Hop Abs has given me back my girliness :)

I'll be as candid as I can without letting all my mystery :)

You'll follow me through intensive cardio training... back to basics lap bandisms, maybe an adjustment or two, the headache of what this loss does to the body (loose skin--- eww!), my support group for Lap Band and Bariatric patients both Pre and Post Op, and OH YES my 40th birthday! This won't be BORing!

Yes Whey!

I get a lot of people who ask me about protein supplements and if they really need them. My answer is yes and no. I choose to take Beachbody's Whey Protein Powder because I find it easier to whip up a protein smoothie than to make 6 egg whites for breakfast. So yes if you know you may need help with taking in extra protein. But no if you feel like you can take in all the protein you need by eating enough forms of it like eggs, chicken, beef and fish.

In the past, I've tried many different 2001. So far, I'd have to say that I am really impressed and in love with Beachbody's Whey Protein Powder. Here's why I like it:

1.It tastes great

2.It mixes easily, its more like a fine powder (like flour). Some protein powders are very grainy. There's nothing worse than trying to drink your shake and chewing a bit on gritty powder substance... yuck!

3.I can use a blender, a shaker cup or a spoon and its still great. My number one choice tho is blender because I like to add frozen banana and fruit instead of ice.

4.Its good with milk, water or juice

5.It doesn't upset my stomache, wich is a big plus since I'm a lab band patient and my stomache is very VERY picky!

6.Its great when mixed with oatmeal

7.It cooks great in pancake and waffle mix.

I believe in trying a product before I suggest someone else try it. Just like the P90X Protein Bars (The chocolate Fudge are DELICIOUS), Beach Body's Whey protein in both flavors makes my life so much simpler and hey I truly don't mind the results I see in loss of inches and weight on the scale!
