WORTH IT
1 scoop vanilla protein (I use Vega Protein & Greens)
1 frozen banana
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp chia seeds
3/4 cup kale
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1 1/4 cup Almond Milk

I'm not sure how many calories, fat or sugar there is in this but I do know that it is at least 20 grams of protein! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Right Boobie - My necrotic bad child. Healing has seem to have sped up tremendously! I've been religiously having a daily protein shake so i'm confidant that by upping my protein, it has helped!

Tummy Tuck - scarring is still reddish. I'm using Biocormeum every day. When my skin feels extra tight I also use Bio Oil. Love that stuff!

I haven't bought any new(FUN) clothing items since my Mommy Makeover(except for 2 holiday dresses), but I can say that I'm thrilled at how well my clothes fit. I no longer have this ugly camel toe(I know, TMI) that I have to hide with a large shirt. I used to have this fat roll that would make the front of my shorts or pants tight. And I'd HAVE to wear the waist part above the fat roll, or on it to camoflauge it and make it smaller. Then I'd have to find the perfect blouse to hide/cover the camel toe and fat roll. Come on ladies, you know what I'm talking about!!! LOL I'm happy I no longer have to ever deal with that, EVER!

So Happy!

My time off of work is slowly coming to an end. I thought I would be bored but I was dead wrong. I'm dreading the hustle and bustle of rushing out the door, missing family gatherings and kissing ass at work. All I want to do nowadays is things for myself! I feel so selfish but I've always put myself last. This self love journey is awesome and I'm very happy to have been able to take 6 whole weeks off! I'm blessed.
