Well today, I was able to go back to the health club. I tell you, I had to force myself to go. My body did not want to go. My right leg felt like it was dragging and my ankle had been a bit sore. I did go. I only did 15 min. on the bike and then I did sets of 50 on the other machines. Afterwards, I went to my buddy's house and we did our walk. I am glad we did.
When I left her house, I went to Walmart for some meds. I took my time browsing and as usual, ended up in kitchen ware. I saw a cool GE blender that was 650 watts and was on sale. I been thinking about doing a bit of smoothies on my diet and thought it may work good. I have found good smoothie recipes that are low carb and decided to try it. Needless to say, I bought this blender. Then I went shopping for a few veggies. I came home and set my nifty blender up and put in a stalk of celery, 2 green onions, spinach leaves, 1 apple, 1 tomato, spring lettuce mix, 1 avocado, water and 1 scoop of protein powder. Pushed the button and then turned it off. WOW! I was pretty impressed. There were no chunks and it was just like a shake . I drank a large glass of it and saved the rest for dinner and to that I added in a handful of blueberries. I think I may do this more often. Now, if I can figure a way to make my drink pretty, I wouldn't have to close my eyes while drinking it. Oh and by the way, the good thing about it is..my kids do not even want to taste it, so I get it all.
Tomorrow morning I will be going back to the health club.
Goodnight all..
Update: The drink I had for dinner was a much lighter green color and had good flavor. I started with a base of V8 Juice, and added celery, cucumber, romaine lettuce, apple, avocado, carrots and seasoned with Cayenne Pepper, lemon juice, & garlic. Then I added a couple T of Carb Master yogurt in vanilla flavor. I think I will be doing this drink more often. Taking the picture of it, I added a sprig of celery for looks.
