smoothie time!

 I decided today that I'm going to stop bullshitting myself with the assumption that healthy eating = weight loss. While eating healthy is certainly good, my real goal is to lose weight and I'm not getting anywhere eating a lot of calories worth of healthy food every day. I do great with the working out, but I really need to start restricting a bit. That's why I have a hard time losing weight in the first place, I'm all "ohh, I work out a lot so I can eat whatever", when most of the time I snack because I'm tired/bored/sitting around/just because and I don't watch my calorie intake as much as I should.

I'm in a smoothie kinda mood today (haay ladies)
With that in mind, breakfast was this:
(frozen blueberries, chobani greek yogurt, a banana and 1/2 cup of skim milk.)
I also had a Wellbeing be-HOT Exercise Enhancing Turbopak before heading to the gym.

My workout for today was a 30 minute jog with 5 two minute sprinting intervals, 20 minutes on the cross trainer and one hour of kickboxing. I actually felt pretty great and had a lot of energy, but my lower back was feeling very tight/achy from what I'm assuming was the level 3 30 day shred video.

I was in the mood for another smoothie at lunch so I made this masterpiece:
(a banana, a teaspoon of instant coffee, two scoops of chocolate Metabolic Reset, a cup of ice, some skim milk and a teaspoon of peanut butter)

I can not rave enough about Metabolic Reset (or this smoothie in general), I would drink this stuff every day if it wouldn't cause me to die a sweet low blood sugar death. Yessss.

I wasn't really hungry before work so I made a wrap to bring with me:
(whole wheat wrap with two slices of turkey, artichoke hummus, and baby spinach)
'Twas yummy.
My dad is still in Georgia so I assigned myself the task of making dinner for everyone.

I made not one...
but TWO
sexy ass pizzas.
(yes, that is a heart)

This was my plate:
(I also made mac&cheese with mixed veggies and chicken)

I also ate a few small handfuls of golden grahams cereal while watching King of the Hill with Johnny :)
(The only reason this is getting updated tonight is because he fell asleep)

I feel really good about what I ate today, and surprisingly I didn't feel deprived or sluggish at all.

'night!
