So, here I am at work again. Waterwater wanted to know what shakes I use in the morning for breakfast. It is SlimFast in the ready to drink cans. It is the Low Carb Diet ones that come in vanilla and chocolate. Not the Optima. This has 180cal, 20g protein and 1g sugar.They are a bit harder to find. I get them at Walmart. I like them becuase they are good, but not TOO good that I want another one. I also like them because I grab one from the frig and take it in the car with me for breakfast. This is the only way I can get breakfast taken care of. It has to be moble.

I must confess that I did not go to my meeting last night. I always go on Tuesdays nights but I had a chance to get out of work early so I did. I will go this Saturday as I usually do.

I am surprised that more people are not on this forum. There are millions doing this program and they are not here? Strange. I will have to start speading the word at my meetings.

Well, off to work I go . I am throwing an ice cream party for my staff today. None for me. That ok though.

Have a great day and keep writing!!!

Karen-
I'm surprised at the infrequent use of this board too. It's one of the tools in my OA tool belt...I'm amazed it isn't used by more.

Yikes! You're giving an ice cream party? You are much braver than I. I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole.

I am guilty of infrequent use myself! I am sorry ladies! OA really does mean so much to me! I need to be sure that I am checking in here with you guys daily too. It really does help to keep me on track.

Karen, I used the SlimFast shakes with good success for many years. In fact, SlimFast was the only thing that I had much success with in the past. I had not thought about using them as an every now and them meal replacement but I may consider doing that. Real food is pretty accessible to me now that I am not working, but this fall when I return to work, I will probably need something that I can grab quickly on mornings that I am running late. No matter how hard we try, we have those mornings every now and again and then I will be very hungry and very tempted to hit the vending machines. Those shakes may be the solution.

How did the ice cream party go?
