I am one week into my little anti-coffee stop campaign and two weeks into the walking one. To be quite frank I am doing better on the coffee campaign then the walking one.
Two weeks walking-two four mile walks and 4 one-ish mile walks. This probably only compensates for the lack of short walks to Starbucks twice a day. Instead I have only had three Starbucks sponsored Peppermint Mocha Frapp in the last week and each was just one..two I can blame on my enabler husband this weekend who delivered them to me :).
I really like my newly self-made Chai latte frapp. that I make at home. The benefit to this is drastically reduced sugar (none), higher protein, more calcium and yumminess. The recipe:
3//4 cup milk
1/2 cup cold chai tea (the unsweetened kind made from Oregon Chai Tea bags. I put two-three in my mug in the morning with 1 cup boiling water. I pour half into another cup and cool it with ice and then leave the tea bags in the mug and put it in the fridge for later.
1 1/2 cups crushed ice
1-2 Tablespoons of Vanilla whey protein powder ( I like muscle milk brand from costco).
I put this all into my Magic Bullet and whir it up.
I get a big old mug full (the big one from the Magic Bullet..it is almost as yummy as the one from my new favorite coffee shop.
The scale-Stuck hard between 179 and 180. sigh...
xxxooo
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.
