I've been trying hard to get on the fitness track of life. And so far so good. I don't get to the gym nearly as often as I use to, but I'm trying to make up for that in other ways. I have cut wayyy back on soda. I did give it up for awhile but now I find myself drink a 1/2 to a full soda a day. Horrible habit.
But I do indulge in a delicious smoothie every morning! Want to know the skinny on my "skinny drink"?! Here it is!
1 Cup Ice
1/2 cut frozen berries ( I prefer raspberries or strawberries)
1/2 cup low fat yogurt
1 banana
1/2 cup rolled oats
This is delicious and its almost like a treat to me! It's actually part of Lauren Conrad's "7 Days to Skinny Jeans"
I'll usually have an apple around lunch because they have 0 calories, and you can even sneak some peanut butter in there with them. Yum
Now, I'm only human, and most humans love food..well, at least I do! So yes, sometimes I get carried away, but hey, I'm trying!
My other favorite smoothie includes almond milk.This a GREAT breakfast smoothie
- 2 large bananas, peeled, sliced
- 2 cups almond milk or whole milk
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ground nutmeg
I also wanted to share some progress with all of you. It's just little steps. I'm not at the gym every day but just changing eating habits can change a lot!

My Grandma came to visit and I haven't seen her since September and she says to me
"You sure did lose all your stomach and hips didn't you!"
I am so proud of myself, and once you start seeing progress its good, but when others start to notice, its that much better!
