Green monster tropical smoothie


Woke up this morning with whole list on my mind.

First I had to eat breakfast.

This my friends is a typical breakfast.

Green Monster Tropical Smoothie


frozen banana
blueberries
pineapple
almond milk
loootsa spinach

Cascadian farms and Justin's nut butter on top


This may look like a lot but the spinach chops up really fine.  You must leave the blender running as long as possible.  You don't want to chew your smoothie!









I have been leaving out my greek yogurt.  I am trying to limit my take on dairy.  I am not ready to become a vegan but I have read many times deleting milk from your diet will help digestion.  

Anyone have experiences with eliminating dairy from your diet?

In other news I broke my 5k record this weekend...on the treadmill.  I totally wanted to go out and buy myself a medal, but I resisted.


But I kept running and hit 4 miles at 33 minutes.





 My workout plan does not follow any perfected form.  I don't have a rock solid body.  But I keep active.

I have thought about completing insanity or P90x but something about keeping on a plan intimidates me.  Which is weird because if you see my calendar I plan out my ENTIRE life.  But with a workout I like to mix it up.  I like to have cardio some days and some days I like to lift.  I have not once seen a workout video that is 100% right for me and my body so I follow Jo's Plan.

This week it looks something like this:

Monday: Jillian Michaels trouble zones (weights)
Tuesday: Jillian Michaels cardio blast (cardio)
Wednesday: Insanity
Thursday: 2-4 miles and lift
Friday: 2-4 miles and lift
Saturday: elliptical for an hour?
Sunday: Tae bo?

I have to mix it up.  I also plan to workout everyday but if something gets in the way and I don't have time I will skip a workout but I don't feel myself until I workout.

But the big event looming over my head is my car.
This summer I went from this:

2002 Kia Sportage...or a pile of junk.

To a 2003 Limited Jeep liberty


Yes it is a used car but was only owned by one previous owner and was in BEAUTIFUL condition.  I had to get a new car because what I was driving did not feel safe and always broke down.

DUN. DUN. DUN.


My car does not like to turn on anymore.  I keep telling myself she is just a bit tired and she just needs to sleep it off.  I went to Orielly's where they told me my battery is good but the engine is reading a message they didn't know.  They suggested taking it to Goodyear.

Long story short.  Goodyear took advantage of a young girl and told me it was the battery.  They sold me a battery for $150 and sent me on my way until a few hours later my car STILL did not want to start.

Tomorrow I am making my long journey back to Savannah to have it looked at by our trusty local mechanic.

But for today,

It is rainy and cold.  I keep looking outside watching the stray kittens.  A gray/white mom and her four little white babies live under the porch next door.  I don't know who to call to rescue them from the oncoming set of the Missouri Winter.  Can you even rescue wild cats?  

Tonight I am making a special type of bread.  If I have any luck you will get the recipe by morning!  Sorry I haven't posted much dinner but this week is busy and I must resort to Amy's frozen dinners.  Which I totally recommend for busy days/nights.

Stay tuned!
