Breakfast Smoothie and Gym Time

This morning we had a nice little breakfast drink! No picture because I drank it way too fast. It was the fresh juice of 3 pineapple spears, a tomato, a carrot and an apple, mixed with the greek honey yogurt, a banana, half an avocado and some ice. It was pretty good. I might do that combo again.

I hit the gym again last night. I am starting to really enjoy it. I did a nice slow pace on the treadmill for a while and then did some weights for my arms and shoulders. I did a quick sprint on one of the bikes and then went back to the treadmill for some incline time. I did the minute percent increase, but this time I only went up to 10% and brought it back down by 1% every minute. My plan is to increase by a minute every few times until I can do all 15% up and back.

I know all of my updates are short. I really need to work on extending my content for all 3 of my readers!! :)

Recipes!

As I go about my dieting I will post recipes of juices as I make them or find them. I decided my breakfast juice will be mu fruitier juice of the day. Today's breakfast juice was-

3 tomatoes
1 carrot
3 granny smith apples
2 "cups" of grapes

In this instance, a "cup" of grapes is a 16 oz plastic solo cup. That will generally be my "cup".

This gave me about 4 cups (real cups) of juice. This was enough to fill my juice bottle (an insulated sports straw bottle- holds between 2-3 cups, depending on how much/if I put ice) completely and left me about 1.5 cups to split between the girls.

I was going to completely skip dinners, but I don't think that will be healthy for me. Because I am not doing this as a fast to detox, and am instead doing it to lose weight, I think I will focus more on just eating a healthy dinner. Tonight, it is Meatless Monday! So I am thinking a nice, fresh pasta with tomato, a little carrot, and some basil.
