The Habit My Family HATES

Snacks

FacebookTweetPin
10 Feb

Hi! Today’s post is a special request from my brother. Okay, not really. He was just teasing me and I’m sharing it below. But first I’m talking about my latest obsession… using chocolate protein powder for everything. First I made the chocolate dipped strawberry protein shake and today I dipped them in yogurt/protein mixture for a snack.

It was super easy too. I just mixed half a package of protein powder (the Advo protein packs have a big serving) with a vanilla yogurt.

Then I dipped a bunch of strawberries in the chocolate mixture and put them in the fridge to set for a while. It didn’t form a hard shell like most chocolate covered strawberries, but it was delicious!!

Today was a rest day from running so I did a strength workout at home. Vegas spotted me for the hard lifts.

He also scratched me when I was dancing around with him. Cat dancing is my cardio of choice on rest days. (It looks worse in person AND I’m super dramatic so I had to take a picture.)

I would get rid of him, but he’s such a good spooner. And having a pet that sleeps 23 hours a day makes any little thing I do seem really productive.

Back to what my brother thinks I should blog about…

Ha!

Have I ever told you that when I’m on the phone and the conversation is over I just am like, “Okay…” and I hang up?

why you calling me hang up

I don’t know why I do this, but I can’t stop. My mom has gotten mad at me. My brother basically told me it’s rude but it’s just automatic at this point.

Once I realize you have to go or something I’m just like okay. Click. It seems efficient. It makes sense to me. It’s kind of implied I love you and we’re going to talk again at some point in our lives. So…. yeah, click.

Question: What is a habit your family or friends wants you to stop?

    My dad has that habit too and it drives us bonkers?

    My family HATES that I am really into social justice, so when they say offensive things about certain groups, I point it out. It’s a lot of the reason why I don’t hang out with them a ton now because they almost do it to goad me at this point.

    That’s funny actually.
    I don’t listen to home phone voice mail so many times I have messages from family that doesn’t get returned. If they don’t call my cell I can’t help them. 🙂

    My daughter freaks out when any one around her swallows loudly while drinking. I seriously have tried to change the way I swallow but I can’t.

    She has had to learn the hard way…can’t change people. I told her she better have any future date swallow water first or its not worth the time. ha!

    haha! Do you say anything like “talk to you later” or anything like that? My husband HATES IT when I leave even the tiniest piece of trash or anything in his car. Like, a rubber band or anything. Big no no.

      Even a rubber band? Ha! What if you need one later? I’m the worst with leaving things behind.
