I feel like I'm always the last person to jump on the band wagon. This one happens to be the "Green Smoothie". I have been working out in the mornings. With this new change of pace for me, I am actually hungry in the mornings. Typically I never eat breakfast. And if I do it is usually a bowl of sugary cereal. Anyway, I started the P90X workouts. I am not an overachiever though. I know for me when things get hard, I quit. My goal is still three days a week for exercise. I am not committing entirely to P90X. So if I have a day when I just want to do the treadmill, then I will. Anyway, back to the breakfast thing. I am not a big fan of breakfast foods, so I decided to just try a green smoothie. I LOVED LOVED LOVED it! There is no going back for me! My favorite so far calls for an Orange. 4-5 Strawberries. 1/2 Banana. 1/3 C of Fat Free plain GREEK Yogurt. And TWO handfuls of spinach. So yummy. I have tried several different mixes. Some were not so good. Anyway, it kind of makes me want to make a "green smoothie" blog so I can keep track. Today I used some ground flax seed, it wasn't too bad, but I think I'll use a little less next time. I will be honest. I notice a HUGE difference in my energy levels in the morning. I love it.
Yay! I would love to read your smoothie blog if you make one!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are writing these posts! I have been doing p90x as well. Or attempting to. I did it all before I even had kids and now am in DESPERATE need to lose weight and get healthy. And I have such a hard time with just my two kids trying to squeeze in workouts and you have four! And I get so down on myself when I miss some work outs. Which workouts do you do the three days a week? Because I think that is going to be my new goal for these workouts since they are long and tiring-three instead of trying to do six! Thanks for posting! :)
