7 Down (And A Smoothie)

I'm seven pounds down in the last two weeks. I'll take it.

I don't feel like I'm working my butt off or anything, so it's quite surprising actually. I think after a few more weeks of exercise, I'll feel even better.

I guess all the spinach for breakfast is paying off, eh? Not even kidding, I've been having a smoothie for breakfast for the last three weeks and I've been throwing all kinds of crap in there.

This morning, I threw in:

Spinach (I can't believe it myself)

Strawberries

Bananas

Blueberries

Greek yogurt

Protein powder

Milk

Splenda (2 packets)

Cinnamon

The funny thing? 5 out of 9 of those things, I would never eat on their own.

But together? Yum. I keep thinking I'll get tired of them, but I make each one a little different, and it just hasn't happened.

The best part? I can drink it on my way to work. I don't have much time for breakfast in the morning and since I commute, I just drink it on the way. This is all happening around 6:45am.

Around 11am I eat a cheese stick, or a handful of almonds.

For lunch around 1pm I eat a big fat salad (with more spinach!) and an apple.

On the drive home from work (4:45), if I'm planning on going walking/running then I'll eat a bar of some sort. I'm still looking for one I like. 

Dinner (around 7) is the hardest meal for me to deal with. I plan our meals out for the week but it's still a struggle finding recipes that are pretty easy to make and good/healthy. I'm getting there though.

I've had a few winners, and a few losers.

And don't forget the water. I get up twice to pee during the night because I've been drinking so much. TMI?

So yeah. I'll take seven pounds. I don't feel it in my clothes yet, but I will.

And I can't wait.
