i have a BRILLIANT- friend who has unknowingly- turned me into health freak. AND- she has also opened me up to a WHOLE new way of thinking about things- well- today i went grocery shopping- and let me just tell you- the poor guy at the check out was NONE too thrilled with having to "weigh and punch in the codes" for alllll my stuff.... lol.... FRESH fruit, after fresh veggies, after ricemilk and REAL juices! oh my!! i was on a rampage! I think the only thing processed i bought was Lunch meat and Cheese for sandwiches. i even asked this poor guy where the "flaxseed was" well, he asked another, who asked another, who proceeded to run around all the isles... it was starting to get quiet hilaruos, with all these people hollering around for FLAXSEED- which then turned annoying- cause it was obvious they COULDN't find it- but i didn't want to be rude, but maddie was getting impatient... so you can imagine... annyyy whoooo
i JUST got through checking out my friends site.... http://www.lizrosenbaumfitness.com/
and wrote down some more yummy recipes... (which all happen to have spinach in them) which i HAPPEN to forget to get- UGH! ...i wonder if bean sprouts would be good, i remebered to grab those...hmmm Bean sprouts, banna and peanut butter? why not! oh well-so, after the hustle and bustle of my busy day, i got everything unloaded, and put away- NOW- i have no FREAKING clue what to DOOOO with alll my nutrious finds! lolol So, as i ate my yummy greasy pizza for dinner, i started at my bowl of fruit and wondered JUST how small my booty could get.... hmmmmmm (...giggling...)
so- on a another note- i asked John if he would be interested in me getting up in the morning with him, and making us a "morning protien shake/smoothy" if he would drink it- he said YES! (keep in mind my husband LEAVES for work at 5:30am SO, i will have to start going to bed at a NORMAL time. (my normal time now is about 3am) i watch my "soaps" (ALLLLL my moms fault im addicted-but if im addicted to soaps im NOT shopping so a GOOD thing in the long run) and they go off at 1:00am, then i usually read for a couple hours... DUMB i know- im addicted to Stephanie Meyer.... i am TRYING to make changes- ENCOURAGE ME HERE.. lol
well- here are some fun pics- keep in mind the fruit bowl is only what is on the table- i have SOOO many other yummy's.... that i can't wait to experiment with!
the GOAL list is something i am"starting small with" i gave myself a few DAILY goals- i will move up soon.... hee hee
goals- only 3 cups of coffee a day, walk every day, go to bed by 1:00am, drink 5 glasses of water. you will ALL love the fabulous hannah montana paper.. lol (im such a mom) and my new hair! john is ...very...... happy!!!!!!!


Editiing in: I just made a smoothy...... Bannana, apple, orange, strawberry, blueberry- ricemilk... i feel SOOOOOOO FULL- i need to practice..... lolol.. laughing uncontrolably as i type......

YAY!!! I'm so happy you are making such wonderful goals to be healthier! And your hair looks amazing!
Annie! Your hair is so cute! Good job on making goals! :)
Goals are great cousin!
Remember though...if you work out on a daily basis for at least 30 minutes and eat good foods you are going to get healthy. The key word though is excersise and some weights!!!!!!!! I promise!
Buying fresh produce is the best but make sure you use it fast cause it all doesn't last long! ;)
for breakfast you can add flaxseed to ANYTHING. Add it to pancakes, oatmeal.
Breakfast:an eggwhite omlette and some oatmeal.
Lunch: some grilled chicken with a salad or grilled zuchini,carrots...
OR a salad with a drained can of tuna mixed in....
Dinner:
Grilled chicken or some halibut with tons of veggies.
I swear, if you add veggies/fruit to your meal you will fill up fast!
During the day for snacks you can do things like apple slices with some cheese or peanut butter, a power bar or cottage cheese with some fruit mixed in.
Just remember its a lifestyle change and it takes getting used to. Remember to shop the perimeter of the store ( the outter parts) because once you start going down isles, that is where the processed stuff is.
Try stores like Trader Joes and whole foods!
Goodluck!
awww thanks for all the Support ladies!
awsome tips ape- i know you are sooo brilliant at this stuff! I am off to buy some more fruit.. it goes fast!
