Day 7 Love Your Greens- one whole week!


One whole week of green smoothies every day!  I love it.  I could do this every day if I could spend that much.  Still trying to figure out the costs.  We will have to see how this month goes then reevaluate.  Speaking of cost I definitely had to get more produce today especially now that the kids are on board.  Strawberries seem to be a big hit so they disappear as soon as you turn around.  I need to look for U-Pick place soon.  Here is the evaluation of today's smoothie-

Weight- 147 BMI-28.7
Feeling: not loosing weight is not so much fun but I guess since I am not working out I shouldn't be too surprised, but I do feel energized and I feel like I am doing something good for my body

I honestly didn't expect to loose weight so that is okay, but I thought just MAYBE I could be wrong.  It's okay.  I like how I feel so far.  My sugar and carbs cravings have really gone down.  I spit out chocolate frosting today.  The only reason that was even available to me was because a lady at the store was giving them to my kids ad I was trying to decrease the mess that the baby would make so I thought I would just eat the frosting off the top.  Oh!  It was so gross, ladies and gentlemen.  I am not a huge frosting fan to begin with but I can't even keep it in my mouth let alone eat it.  It also helps when I don't keep any junk in the house either.

I needed to go to the store for today's smoothie.  We were really low on strawberries, bananas, and limes and of course the most important ingredient- the GREENS!  Today was Zippy Lime Smoothie with water, kale and spinach mix, 1/4 cup of lime juice, 2 tsp. of zest (that took way too long to grate), 1 banana, and 10 strawberries.  This was by far the thinnest smoothie we have made probably because some of the strawberries were not frozen.  Since I enjoy them a little more thick I added a few scoops of Greek yogurt and since it was quite tart I added some honey.  It was yummy, refreshing, and light.  Ariana abandoned her smoothie and ate the rest of the container of strawberries instead.  I have heard the next smoothie is really good so maybe she will try the next one.  I am excited to use coconut milk.  Tomorrow I will try to add up some of the costs.  I know I spent a little over $100 on groceries this week but I feel like I am okay with that.  I am determined to make this work.
