Okay so I fell off the eating healthy/exercising band wagon for about three weeks, but I am back on track! I have lost 7 pounds since the new year. It is not anywhere near my goal, but hey I've lost some and kept it off so I'm happy.
For breakfast I am eating smoothies and I just put together one I haven't tried a few days ago and loved it! So here is the recipe and I decided to call it Fiber Fruity Smoothie:
Fiber Fruity Smoothie:
6-8 Fresh Strawberries (depending on their size)
A handful of Fresh Blueberries
A handful of fresh spinach leaves (hence FIBER)
About a cup or 3/4 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt (I use vanilla to add some flavor)
About a 1/2 cup of Orange Juice
Cut the stems off the strawberries and add them to the blender. Add the rest of the ingrediants in the blender and mix! I usually stick it in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes while I'm getting ready for work to make it cold and it is so yummy! You can use frozen berries too, but I just love fresh. The spinach may sound gross, but you cannot taste it at all. I was skeptical at first, but you really can't and it is a good way to get in some fiber! I added up the calories and I'm thinking its about 220 calories. So you will definately need a snack soon after, I just like the healthy jump start to my day.
My snacks are usually a banana, grapes, the 100 calorie pack of cocoa roast almonds, or the Special K chocolate crisps - which are 100 calories also.
My lunch at work is a lean cuisine and some veggies or leftovers. My leftovers this week are taco salad and taco soup - I'm on a mexican kick this week ;)
I'm doing salads for dinner or small portions of whatever I cook.
Now that the time has changed, I am walking the dogs again...in daylight! So we are all getting exercise. Its beautiful out today, so I plan to walk the dogs after dinner when I get home. Happy Monday!
