In my quest to be healthier, I have been reading up on juicing and its effects on the body. A friend recommended I try it, and I actually like it! I have been drinking carrot apple juice three times a day. And a 200ml yummy drink is composed of 3 apples and 3 carrots already! Can you imagine packing that much nutrients in a drink? (Can you imagine eating 3 carrots in one sitting?)

I want to try this green juice though. It says it is made up of spinach and bananas with milk (and nuts) and it seems like a complete power meal to me already – protein (spinach + nuts + milk), fruit (bananas) and veggies! If I can do this once a day, replacing one meal for the next three weeks, I am sure I can lose weight and maybe even shop at stores I’ve been dying to shop at (maybe I should keep the eddie bauer coupons 2012 I got!).

ngredients:
1 frozen sliced banana
1 Tablespoon peanut butter
1/2 cup 0% Vanilla Chobani Greek yogurt
1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze (or other kind of milk)
4 cups baby spinach (or more, or less)

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Nutritional stats:

Power Breakfast

Here’s a good power breakfast option:
Almonds, cooked oatmeal, bananas and yogurt meet up in your blender for a power breakfast.

I am making a more conscious effort to track down my eating and limit it to at least 1400 calories a day. It’s really a struggle, I tell you, like trying to get discount pool parts in summer peak months. But it really all boils down to discipline and attitude. If you slip a day, get back to the next, and do it again and again!

Five pounds in a year is 60 lbs! I can do this!

Enrolling in Fitness Gyms

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Fitness Diaries

My husband and I are looking for a gym we can enroll in for a few months. We want to jumpstart on our journey to better health (and me losing weight) that the husband advised me to jump the gun and bite the bullet – enroll in a gym. Nothing beats gym equipment and the motivation when working out in a gym, he says. I can treat it like going to the office — and being fit is “work”.

Most gym memberships are on an auto renewal subscription on credit cards. It’s a good thing we were able to finally get rid of credit card debt and regain our good credit score so we would not need rmcn credit services to repair ours. We can finally use our card to enroll in a gym!

My goal is 5lbs a month – in a year that will automatically be 60lbs! Consistency and perserverance is the key.

Work for It.
