How Huel is Helping Me

huel photoHuel has provided me with two packages of their vanilla Huel for free to use and review. Opinions of the product are my own.

I had been seeing ads on Facebook for this stuff called Huel. I normally don’t click on facebook ads but this one spoke to me. As you know I work weekend overnights and because of that I have my weeks free. LAst year I was taking care of Andrew every day and so we had a set time for lunch and we made lunches together and had lunch. Now, everyone is at school and I’m home or out. When I am out I usually eat out and had been doing a heck of a lot of it. I am not interested in cold cuts and sandwiches at home I was getting burgers and pizza and all those things that sound and taste good to me. However, all this is not good for me.

Up until now, the only thing that has been keeping me from being a complete wreck health-wise is that I work out consistently at Koko Fit Club. Even though I work out a lot I am still having trouble and that has to do with my eating habits. I’ve found that given the choice I am going to pick that thing that tastes great but isn’t so good for me. Compound that with eating that way day in and day out and I’ve got trouble.

However, with Huel I have a complete nutritional meal that I can make quickly and easily. It also helps that I like the taste. And even though I was a big water drinker anyway, Huel has made me into and even bigger one. I always refill my Huel shaker with water after I have had my morning and afternoon Huel. I am not a nutritionist, I can’t tell you if this is the best thing for you, I can point you toward more Huel information and you can make your own decision. I do know, that for me, Huel has helped. I am not going out every day for my meals. I don’t get hungry and crave lots of other things with Huel. I still have a regular dinner each night, and you know me, I eat out on many occasions. But I’ve cut way down on that and it is because I am having Huel. I’ve even taking it to work to prevent my second dinner on weekend overnights. Continue reading How Huel is Helping Me →

Allisons birthday
Photo-A-Day #4656

Today was Allison’s birthday. We went out to Park Street Ale House and Eatery. It is in the center of town and we have never been there. Allison saw at great pretzel for an appetizer and that hooked us in. They had a great selection of beers there, too. Allison tried a small flight and liked two out of the four of them. I tried one and it was terrible. It had way too many smells and flavors and the aftertaste was as if someone wrung out a Strawberry Shortcake doll.

The kid were enjoying the place, too. Andrew and Eva are so polite. They also loved the placemats, they had some of the best coloring pages we’ve ever seen.

I took the photo of Allison and posted it to Facebook while we were eating and when we got our desserts we got a big surprise. Our good friends, the Prestons arrived to have dinner, too. they saw the post and took a chance that we were still there. Andrew was so thrilled to see the girls. He dive tackle-hugged them from a running start. Too many times for my liking but he loves them and they are tickled by his antics. It was great to see them and it was a fun capper to our night out.
