I'm not sure if a protein shake a day will keep the doctor away but a protein shake is a great way to kick off the morning. Here's the thing.. you wake up and no matter how poorly you might have eaten the day or night before, you always get a fresh start. Let's face it - if you mess up with breakfast it's doubtful you'll get back on track the rest of the day. Every other day I jump on the scale, record the number...hmmm, I'm either happy with the weight I'm at or I'm committed to losing a few more. Unfortunately, since the holidays it's been a tough haul! Today I was 174.6 pounds and want to get to 160. However, my short term goal over the next few weeks will be to at least drop below 170. Set little goals for yourself so you can have some successes. I have been making this tasty chocolate Protein Shake for almost two years now. It has 310 calories, 34 grams of protein, 40 carbs and 9 Weight Watchers Points. Enjoy! Off to make an Apple Tart for a dinner party tonight, I will try to control myself! I'll post the Apple Tart tomorrow.
