Today I needed some more protein powder, as I have some in a smoothie almost every morning. To my delight, my local grocery store had this on sale!: http://www.naturesbounty.com/PRODUCT/050874 Nature's Bounty Optimal Solutions Complete Protein and Vitamin Shake Mix. They were 2 for the price of one! I've been wanting to try it, but I can get this one other protein powder, twice the amount, for a dollar less. However, with it being 2 for the price of one, I was able to get my usual amount for about the same price. Not only is it a protein powder, but it has vitamins, probiotics, flaxseed, and collagen in it! Lots of NBE-friendly goodies! I got a chocolate and a vanilla. So excited!

I have a confession to make. I decided I was going to let myself have sugar this weekend, because my dad got some chocolate with me in mind, and then the next day he got me a brownie sundae. But while I was eating the chocolate, I kept thinking 'What's the point of this?' It just wasn't satisfying, and I kept thinking about how it had no nutritional value and therefore served no actual purpose for my body. Then, the next day, I got halfway through the sundae and told my dad to eat the rest because it just didn't even taste that good to me. I think I'm over sugar. When I have it, I keep thinking about how bad it is for my skin and how it's keeping my testosterone levels high. Plus it's not even that tasty! Give me a savory meal over a sugary treat any day. Never thought I'd say that. NBE is getting me over my sugar addiction. Yay!

Snap! My raw protein powder turned up today too along with my supposedly non toxic instant heat pad. You click a disc and this gel heat pad heats up automatically. Its the strangest fascinating thing!
