So I didn't make it to bed at 8 last night, it was more like 10:30... I had some crazy dreams though about tidal waves and trucks driving houses onto the beach.... strange. Anyway, I woke up this morning still a bit tired but it's time to weigh in! I don't expect any dramatic weight loss considering the work I have been doing at the gym is basically all about muscle formation and toning.
I usually don't even judge my 'weight-loss' by the number I see on the scale, I judge it by my belt notches. Belt notches say it's time to buy a smaller belt and scale says I've LOST 4lbs!! :)
So how do I celebrate this? I turn on Giada at home and torture myself drooling over the food she's making.... Magic bars, Chinese turkey salad, and . Mmmm look at all that fat, and salt, and carbs, and calories.
Rather then giving in to my sweet tooth and want for indulgence, I turned to the trusty green smoothie. Now, the last time me and Mr. Smoothie met I couldn't kill him.... this time around I will!
I ran out of pineapples so I had to rummage. I still had frozen mixed berries but that made it a little bitter so I went with one orange. I also used a cup of Chobani fruit on the bottom blueberry. So the recipe for todays smoothie is as follows:
2 bananas
1 orange
1 cup Chobani blueberry
2 handfuls spinach
splash of vanilla
flax seed
and WATER!
Blend blend blend, and it is FANTASTIC! Actually the best one I've made yet. I think orange will permanently take the place of the pineapple.
No gym today either. I ran out of time. :( I'll be at work walking my 5 miles though!
See you next week!
