We went to Popeye’s Supplements yesterday while we were out running errands. My mom and I have been talking about possibly getting something for a while now. We just haven’t taken the time to find something we actually want. I’m not going to lie I was pretty overwhelmed when we walked in to the store. It was my mom, myself and the three kids, there was three very athletic looking men standing at the counter (they were employees). It’s no secret I’m a bigger woman, so when we walked in I felt insecure. My mind was racing about all the potential horrible things, they could be thinking like “why is this fat woman in here?”; “She doesn’t belong here”, etc. They very likely didn’t even care that we were in there, I mean I couldn’t be the first overweight person to ever go in there lol. 
I know I’m being overly harsh on myself… One of the men approached us, and asked if he could help us. Without skipping a beat my mom asked him a couple of questions, while I kept the kids together and away from knocking over the stacked protein powders they had on the floor. He explained which protein powder was the best one, and asked us what we were hoping to gain from it. We decided on a brand called “Hexapro“, it’s from the Allmax nutrition line. Once we figured out what brand we were going to buy, we had to decide which flavour we were going to choose. We had the choice of four different flavours, vanilla, chocolate, cookies & cream; and last but not least Strawberry. I’m not a big fan of vanilla flavour, and mom wasn’t too keen on the idea of chocolate. We ended up agreeing on the Strawberry one, and then we headed home. I worked a shift last night, and once I got home this morning I wasn’t feeling very hungry; but I knew I needed something to eat. So I mixed up some protein powder, with some milk and ice cubes in my magic bullet.
My first impression is that it’s delicious, and it could be the cure to my morning breakfast problem. I don’t like eating breakfast in the morning, it’s just not something I’m a fan of. So this protein powder will be the next best thing to starting off my day, it’s going to give me something to have for breakfast. It’s something that makes me feel full, and I know that it will tide me over until lunch time or whenever I feel like eating. It’s just another good step in the direction towards my health journey.
Do you use a protein shake? If you don’t, have you thought of buying some? If yes, what brand/flavour do you use?
