Happy Tuesday! How’s your week going?
I really need to get a new water bottle – I dropped this one on it’s head this morning and now it’s a broken. (I threw away my reusable bottle after I was sick in November.) I’ve been putting off getting a new bottle because the only place that sells ‘my bottle’ is a long drive away.
After boot camp I did 4 miles around the area. It’s so weird to be going home when everyone else is going to work. Everyone else seems to be rushing while I’m singing Christmas songs and cooking up breakfast in my head.
As part of my Fitfluential membership GNC recently sent me one of their signature products to try. This is their Lean Shake in Swiss Chocolate. It is sold as a meal replacement shake, but it’s a little cold for an icy drink so I mixed some into my oatmeal this morning.
Mixing protein powder into oatmeal is a great way to sneak in some extra nutrients. I stir it in half way through cooking to make sure it’s incorporated all the way. The Chocolate flavor went perfect with the clumps of PB inside my leftover jar! I’ve been eating savory breakfasts lately so this was like a treat.
I liked the taste of the Lean Shake but since I wasn’t using it as a meal replacement I wish it had more protein (this has 9 grams). I do appreciate that it had a ton of extra vitamins (especially because I ran out of my multi-vitamin last week!).

This reminds me I need to add vitamins to my shopping list! That, or I need to stop eating them by the handful…
We leave for FL in 10 days I still haven’t started Christmas Shopping! Guess I’m not Santa and I know it…
Question: Do you take a multivitamin?
Have you done your holiday shopping?
I want gummi vitamins (and often eat my little brothers)!
Hola a todos soy nuevo aquí. Soy un principiante en todas estas cosas techie …. Buscando foeward aprender de ustedes.
Gran blog. Mi blog también tiene mucho tráfico de los EE.UU., India, Reino Unido.
Thank you for that sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We received a superior book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your info. I am pretty glad to see these info which I was searching for a long time.
I buy the gummy vitamins from Costco (they have adult ones!! 🙂 )
I have the gummies, I highly recommend 🙂
Yes, I do! Unfortunately like you, I ran out of them some time back and kept forgetting to buy them when I’m shopping. Fingers (and toes!) crossed, I’ll remember this weekend.
I take a multi and calcium. They seem to really help perk me up!
I used to take Women’s One/Day multi-vitamins & I also tried the kid’s gummy vitamins when I was showing my nephew how good they were, now he loves them!
I wouldn’t mind some adult gummy vitamins 🙂
I take a multivitamin twice a day at the encouragement of my nutritionist, and I also take a high-dose Vitamin D supplement after finding out that I (like 9 out of 10 Americans today) have a Vitamin D deficiency.
I’ve done most of my Christmas shopping, but I still need to wrap it all. I’m just not motivated this year!
I take a multi, pre-natal, and calcium supplement every day. I love the calcium one because it’s a chewy chocolate one. So delicious!
I totally do the chewy chocolate ones too! (May have eaten 4 today actually…)
I read somewhere(?) that you should half your vitamin and take one part in the AM and one in the PM to fully absorb all the nutrients. OR just take a kiddy vitamin twice a day! Gummies two times a day sounds like a winner.
Love gummy vitamins. Trader Joes sells a big bottle of gummy vitamins. Both my daughter and I take them.
I do take a multi vitamin
I just received an adult GUMMY multi-vitamin called smarty pants. It’s a multi-vitamin, omega-3 and vitamin d in one!!
Ok so I clicked on that at work…now I’m trying to cover up my giggling so my students don’t think I’m nuts! I do take a multivitamin but like you….I ran out and forgot to refill it!! Oops. Thanks to Losing Lindy about Starbucks…hello stocking stuffer!
I try to remember to take my multivitamin everyday but I forget sometimes. Maybe if I got the kid ones it will be easier for me to remember. 🙂
I am just about done with my Christmas list. I have a few more to go. It’s my Christmas baking I need to get choppin on!
WHY did I click on that song?!?! Now it’s going to be in my head all day.
Actually, it wouldn’t be that bad of a bootcamp song – pretty decent beat.
Girl look at that belly…like a bowl full of jelly…
Oh and did you know that Starbucks has their reusable cold drink tumblers buy one get one free today?? I am trying to not go down there (there is a Starbucks in my building at work)
I sometimes sneak my son’s vitamin c gummies we get at TJs. I am done shopping as of yesterday. Walgreens has a pretty good selection of giftcards and there wasn’t much of a line.
I love gummie vitamins! Mine are Disney princess 🙂
Gummi vitamins are the best!! I sometimes (often) forget to take my multis, but the month I did have the gummi version I happily gobbled them every single day!
Love my Klean Kanteen (reusable water bottle) and use it every day. I suggest also getting the sports nozzle if you need it on-the-go (the screw top takes some maneuvering to unscrew)
How much water can it hold?
The one I have is 27 ounces which I think is a good size if you go to the gym, etc. and can’t refill very often. I usually drink a full one during my class. (http://kleankanteen.com/)
I love my gummy vitamins! They never upset my stomach and they taste so good…..I wake up and bound out of bed, beelining for my vitamins! 🙂
My holiday shopping was officially done on December 3rd, but I keep getting all these emails for retailers, so I always have my eye open.
I take a fistful of vitamins everyday – I feel like a real pill popper. It’s gotten so bad that my mom gave me her daily pill divider.
I just bought the biggest pack of vitamins (the ones where you take like 5 a day). So you’re not alone.
Yes and yes 🙂 I also take vitamin D in the winter since I live in the silly cold north and then calcium too.
I am all done holiday shopping! Yay! No going to the crazy stores for this girl!
Ahahahah oh God. That video!!!
I take a multi-vitamin in the winter time when I sometimes go days without seeing the sun. Gotta love a full-time job where I normally work or work out through my lunch break! 🙂
