Protein first...

I've really been neglecting the "Protein first" rule, and had been doing "caffeine first" instead.  Sooooo...starting today I'm back to protein first.  I'm making myself have some sort of protein beverage BEFORE coffee every day.  My goal is to get 70 grams of GOOD protein every day (Goldfish crackers just don't cut it, even if they do have 4 grams of protein per serving.  And yes, I got excited over that.), so the earlier in the day that I start...the better. 

Today I'm having a Pumpkin shake for breakfast.  It really reminds me of those awesome pumpkin pie shakes that I used to get at Dairy Queen EVERY FREAKIN' DAY when I was in high school.  I got the recipe from Beth's site.  NOM NOM NOM.  I added a touch of Pampered Chef's Cinnamon Plus, and it's purrrrfect.  NOM. 

And did you know that pumpkin has a TON of Vitamin C, which helps you absorb iron?  Good stuff, Maynard.
