It's (Ugly Sweater) Christmas Time!

It's that time of year once again!  Oh yes... the time has come for the... Ugly Sweater! 

Do you have an ugly sweater? One that just reeks of inappropriate yuletide sentiment?

Yeah.  Me, too.  

But I wanted another -- less inappropriate -- sweater this year.

Enter  UglyChristmasSweater.com.  They are a fabulous company with some hysterically "ugly" sweaters, sweatshirts, pajamas, and more.

From the company: Our ugly Christmas sweaters have been featured on such TV shows as The Today Show, Good Morning America, Like with Kelly and Ryan, and The Ellen Show.

So much fun browsing the website and finding the perfect Ugly Sweater for the office Christmas Party, shopping, the big game, or just a fun day at home!

The wonderful folks at UglyChristmasSweater.com generously allowed me to choose a couple of sweaters for Mike and me.

Doesn't happy husband look sharp in his BALLS sweater?



 You can see why he won't be wearing it to Church! You CAN find it here.

And mine?  It's from my favourite Christmas film: A Christmas Story!  It features the fragile Leg Lamp! How cool is that?  And even better? It lights up with twinkling lights!

(I had to get Mike to hold it up as it was about 80 degrees...)



You can find the Leg Lamp sweater here. 

There are so many great designs to choose from! And it's such fun to browse the selection, you'll be laughing so much!

The amazing folks at UglyChristmasSweater.com have generously offered one of my readers a chance to WIN an ugly sweater for their very own!  Just follow the instructions and choose the sweater you most want to win!

#CLICK 'n with Casein and a Total Body Sculpting Giveaway ends 10/05/15


I'm sure that you all know by now that I am still on my weight-loss journey.  I've had several setbacks due to health issues this year, but I am still pushing toward my goals.  I refuse to give up.

I'm quite sure that you all know my greatest weapon is the Espresso Protein Powder from Drink Click.  It's my go-to breakfast and late evening snack.  This is my life-line when I fall.  It keeps me going and keeps me healthy.

Now, I realize that there are other protein powders on the market. I've tried a few in the past. Why didn't I stick with any of them? Because they were all Whey Protein powders.  Is that bad? No, not really.  But I could NOT get used to the taste or after-taste of those powders.  I also didn't care for the way the whey protein metabolizes and I could not get past their inability to completely dissolve -- clumps are just not appealing.

Then I discovered my beloved Click Coffee Protein Powder!  What's the difference between Click and other protein powders?

It's the Casein Protein.  Casein is a milk protein.  It has no unpleasant after-taste, it dissolves completely, and it metabolizes in the most optimum way.



  

Proteins are composed of both essential and nonessential amino acids:

Essential amino acids must be obtained through food as the body cannot synthesize these.
Nonessential amino acids are still important to construct our body’s proteins. The name just means it is not necessary for us to ingest them because our bodies can synthesize them.

1. Casein’s greatest strength is timing. Casein has the ability to provide your bloodstream with a slow and steady flow of amino acids that could last for hours. Casein is better used at bedtime. While you sleep, you have the greatest opportunity for muscle repair, and casein can aid in that type of repair throughout the night since it produces seven hours of steady elevation of amino acids.

2.  A recent study concluded that a 25% increase in casein intake while dieting boosts energy expenditure, protein balance, satiety, and negative fat balance, which is beneficial to body weight management

3. Studies have shown that casein has anti-catabolic abilities. In other words, it prevents or minimizes the breakdown of hard-earned muscle. 

4. No unpleasant after-taste or clumping.

Now, I am a big fan of getting in at least two servings of fruit each day and I much prefer it at breakfast.  So I just add it to my Click!

Here's my early morning recipe:

1/2 ripe banana
1/4 cup sliced strawberries (frozen or fresh)
10 ounces low-fat milk
2 scoops Click protein powder
Ice (or even better, cubes made from frozen coffee!!!)

1. Assemble ingredients





2. Add milk, coffee cubes, fruit, and powder



3. Blend well!




Drink it up and enjoy!

Now, another thing I have found useful over the years is a community of other women and men who are sharing this same journey.  That community is Spark People and I've been a member for several years.

If, like me, you need encouragement, support, and advice then Spark People may help you!





To help you on your weight loss journey, I am offering one winner a Spark People-based workout DVD, Total Body Sculpting.
