There are several inches of new snow on the ground and it's still falling pretty heavily. The ride home from work was a joy, and I'm sure that the ride in tomorrow will be just as wonderful. We didn't shovel the driveway this evening, so I may have to skip my morning workout tomorrow to help Chris shovel before work. That's okay, I will still be getting some exercise.
I tried the protein powder hot chocolate that I mentioned yesterday and it was every bit as nasty as the chocolate water. I even used half the water. Part of the problem is that the powder does not dissolve in the water. Even though the directions tell me that I can blend, shake, or stir, I really think that blending might be a requirement. Chris, being the smart ass that he often is, suggested that I take our Magic Bullet to work to make smoothies at my desk. I have to admit, it would be pretty comical to someone making a milkshake in their cubicle with a Magic Bullet.
Anyway, tomorrow will be trial number three in the protein powder experiment. This time I am mixing it with skim milk. That is probably the first thing that I should have tried. If that doesn't work, maybe I'll take my aunt's advice and stick with water. I'd really like to find something that works though.
I was very good today. I didn't have any sweets! Not even low cal/Weight Watchers sweets. Of course now that I mentioned sweets, I want chocolate. I do believe there is some fat-free, sugar-free pudding in the refrigerator...
