Delicious Trickery

I had a rough night.  Had a hard time falling asleep. I tossed & turned & instead of waking my wonderful husband up or keeping him from getting the rest he deserved, I tossed & turned on the couch only to be awoken early this morning by my 4 year old who was having trouble breathing. Smack forehead. I totally forgot to give her Claritin last night before bed.  She's got breathing issues & being outside all day yesterday probably triggered something.  Needless to say I didn't get a whole lot of sleep, need some energy & was hungry & wanting a tasty & quick breakfast.

I took out the blender. Got out the skim milk & added 1 C to the blender. That's 90 cals. Next I scooped 1 scoop of chocolate Shakeology into the milk, that's 150 calories).  Turned it on low & blended it up.  I then took out the almond butter & added about 1 Tbsp (maybe a little more, I didn't measure) so we'll count that as 120 cals. Next I added about 5 ice cubes & blended it until it was a thick chocolaty smooth malt.  That's only 360 calories for a delicious malt that is packed with tons and I mean TONS of vitamins & minerals that come from about 70  whole super foods with no added chemicals.  How did I get so blessed to find something so good for me, so tasty, & not packed with tons of calories?  If you would like to try some Shakeology, let me know.  I have sample packets in Greenberry & Chocolate. In a few months I should also have Tropical.

Great start to my day.  I wish you all a Fabulous Friday too!

Shopping

Well, I finally did it. I just ordered a TON of stuff from Vistaprint for my business.  I'm excited & hope that it doesn't really take them as long as it says it might in the shipping section.

On a side note, I finished the Shakeology Cleanse yesterday & was down 4.2 lbs.  Definitely on my way to my goal weight.  Do you have a specific number in mind?  I don't. I have a 'in the area' number because I'm not sure what the scale will say & I don't really care but I would like to be comfy in my body again because I prefer not to have so many aches & pains.  Turbo Fire routines as well as Shakeology have helped immensely with decreasing the aches I had but I still have some & I'd like them to go away altogether if I could.  I'm sure what is left will continue lessening as I get in better shape.

Day 2 of Shakeology Cleanse

Ya know when you do something with a friend it seems a lot easier & more fun.  Well that has been the case with doing the 3 day cleanse with my sister who has been visiting for a few days.  Monday was my son's 7th birthday & for brunch we had stuffed French Toast with a fruit salad that was covered in yogurt, cool whip, & pudding mix.  It was delicious.  We topped that off with a dinner of quesadillas that were fried in butter & then ended the decadent day with a fabulously tasting but simple ice cream cake.  And then my guts told me they weren't too happy with my food choices.  That's when I had the brilliant idea to ask my sister to do the cleanse with me.  I've done it before but I must say that it is a lot easier to say no to sweets & stuff when someone else is saying no to the goodies with you.  She's leaving tomorrow though & so I'll be on my own. I have to find out if I need to send stuff with my sister so she can complete her day tomorrow too.
