DOWN 6 LBS

One week ago our office here at work put together a 10 week biggest loser program. Today was the first weigh in since the initial weigh in. I LOST 6LBS!!!!!!!! I didnt even do much at all. 9 more weeks to go and I am going to get healthy as well as be $200 richer.

Getting back on track

Over the last while as you can tell from me not posting I have not been doing so well with my diet. Where does my motivation go after a month or two? It should be so easy but it isn't for some reason. I need to find what motivates me and what will keep me motivated because it hasn't been working. If you have any ideas or suggestions for me feel free to let me know.

Green smoothie resolution

As you may have seen. I have been drinking green smoothies almost everyday. The trouble I have been having is that the kale or spinach does not last as long as I would like before we use it. I was reading a blog (can't remember which one) and it gave a great idea so I put it to use. I stuffed the blender full of just the spinach and filled it with water and let it blend. It turned into pretty much green water. I put it into ice trays and froze them so when we are making the smoothies all we have to do now is take 6-7 ice cubes out and put in with the fruit and a bit of orange juice and we were good to go. So simple, faster and easier! Give it a try!

Green smoothies

Last night we decided our cheap blender just was not cutting it Anymore so we ran to the store and grabbed a Ninja blender. It was a little pricy but we have heard over and over that you get what you pay for when it comes to blenders! It works incredibly well. Shaileen was nice enough to get up and make me a green smoothie made with fruit and kale. It was so good and extremely healthy too. I counted the calories and it came out to be around 250ish but I think that is great with the amount of nutrition it had in it. If you have never tried one before I would recommend it. You can not taste the kale or spinach that you put in it at all. Try it!
