Happy New Year!

I have not reached my 199 goal yet, but that's okay.  I am at 200.2 right now so I am REALLY close. 

My sister is scheduled to have the same surgery at the beginning of February, and I am so very excited for her!
 
I just found out that Mountain Dew and many other citrus-flavored drinks have a chemical that has a flame retardant in it.  Yet another reason why it's just a good idea to kick the pop habit, regular or diet, it's all baaaaaad.
 
If you are looking for a great protein drink, I highly recommend Bodylogix protein.  Here's why:
  • You can buy it at Meijer for around $18 for 31 servings.  So it is inexpensive and easily accessible.
  • With milk, it contains 32 grams of protein, which is superior.
  • It contains no soy except for lecithin.  Soy (estrogen - female hormone) is bad for both males and females, except for fermented soy, which people rarely eat here in the US.  Soy in our food is probably why so many kids are developing earlier.  It also does not contain GMOs, BSE, rBGH (not genetically modified or contain growth hormones).
  • It contains stevia as the sweetener, which is all-natural.  Artificial sweeteners like Splenda are bad for you.  Splenda is more closely related to pesticide than sugar.
  • The chocolate flavor is great, or I like to mix half chocolate with half vanilla.
If you want to try mine, let me know.  :-)
