Smoothies part 2

So I am loving this smoothie kick. Every day I make myself a delicious spinach, water, and berry smoothie.

BUT.... yesterday my fiance was eating some goooood looking cookies and I thought "I wish my smoothie tasted a little more like cookies"

I found an amazing blog that has smoothie recipes that tell you what they're good for. For instance.. one is for working out, one for weight loss, muscle building. And they sound much better tasting than my spinach and berry.

I will start sneaking some of these as treat smoothies.

I am still doing the pre-shower workout. I love it. It is quick and easy and I feel like I am sticking to my goals by doing it each day. I also do other exercises on days when I'm a little MORE motivated.

Smoothies: Healthy or Not?

How are you doing with last week's "Before Every Shower" exercise?

I have been doing it every day and I feel great. My muscles feel a little tighter and not as flabby. I really enjoy doing this work out before every shower because it is so quick! It's not much but it's a start at being more healthy and it is SO EASY to do every day.

Today I am starting my day off right with a smoothie. Not your typical milk, yogurt, fruit smoothie... don't get me wrong - those are delicious. The kind I'm having is way more nutritious, however.

Start with a cup of fresh cool water. Add about 2 handfuls of fresh greens: spinach, arugula, spring mix, any kind of lettuce you have. The greener the better. REMEMEBR: Iceberg is just water and fiber. Add 2 handfuls of berries: raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc. Blend and drink.

Limiting the ingredients helps your body to digest easier, giving you more ability to absorb those awesome nutrients. I know that it sounds gross, but it really doesn't taste bad!

Try this smoothie first thing in the morning every other day and let me know how it works for you. 

Happy Holidays!

I hope your holidays were as wonderful as mine. I just got engaged! I am overjoyed. But now I have to start thinking about a wedding, and keeping myself in shape for the wedding.

I will post a few healthy eating tips and stories each Thursday.

Today I want to talk about holiday eating. As the holidays have just passed I'm sure many people are hating themselves and their waistlines. I recently found a tip on pinterest that sparked an idea. Working out is hard. We often can't make time. This is the perfect solution.


Before every shower do this small workout. I promise it does not take more than 5 minutes.

-50 jumping jacks
-5 pushups
-20 crunches
-20 mountain climbers
-one 30 second plank

Seems easy enough. Try to stick to it. I will be too. Let me know how you're doing!! See you next Thursday!
