Sorry All, Hello Again!

Wow! The last week was super busy! That's one of the reasons why I haven't updated you the last week. The other reason is because I felt guilty... I didn't exercise pretty much all week except for Monday and towards the end of the week I wasn't doing to well with the healthy diet. So I skipped Weight Day, again. I'm sorry! Ha! But I'm exercising everyday this week and I'm being a little less cocky with what I eat so hopefully that'll pay off! Did you know that celery has no calories? You actually burn calories while you digest it! Isn't that neat? I thought I should maybe add another recipe that I like. So here you go...

Should I Welcome You?

So as we all know, today is Weight Day. This morning I thought to myself before I weighed in, should I be welcoming Weight Day or dreading it? The answer today was apparently welcoming! Surprisingly after my holidays and all the Easter treats that I have received I dropped four pounds. That's ten all together! I'm actually pretty happy! That is ten pounds in three weeks! I hear from a reliable source that is this the healthy speed to be losing weight. So if you are all listening please do not lose weight too fast! It isn't healthy for your body. Besides it's kinda the point to still lose weight but stay healthy, isn't it? Well that's what I think. So, my weight loss challenge is off to a good start! I feel energized and determined, hopefully that feeling will continue till I reach my goal weight! I am doing well hopefully all you "wanna-be-thinners" are doing great as well. If not, feel free to share what you have been having trouble with in the comments box. I really recommend that all of you "wanna-be-thinners" visit Deidre's weight loss challenge/forums page. I am so glad to be apart of it. The support on those pages are amazing! Well I have things to do so please, share your progress with us! We'd love to hear... Oh and should I post another smoothie recipe? Any ideas on what kind of healthy things to broadcast? Again, feel free to share! Succeed together, fail together and conquer together!

Simple Smoothie Recipe

Okay, so today I was thinking what I should include on the blog and came up with a pretty good idea. I've been telling you I have been drinking these homemade milkshakes/smoothies right? Why not tell you some good recipes every now and then? They're healthy! They taste good! Come on, try it! You know you want to!

Fast Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie

Ingredients

• One cup (250 mL) plain low fat yogurt
• Four cups (1 L) of ripe strawberries
• Half a cup (125 mL) of fresh or 100% orange juice
• *Optional* 1 tsp of sugar or honey.

Directions

Put all ingredients into a blender and blend/chop/or whatever you do with your milkshakes for about 15-25 seconds. If the drink is not fully blended try blending for a few more seconds. This recipe does serve four people so feel free to make one for your friends or family. Especially if they come to workout with you! They make good breakfasts, snacks and healthy little "rewards" So go ahead! It's that easy! Oh man I sound like the 'Slap Chop' guy off those commercials... Hey! Maybe you could use a slap chop for those strawberries, huh?

Succeed together, fail together and conquer together!
