It has been so awesome being able to go back to the gym since my surgery. I had forgotten how great it feels after a good workout. My weight has dropped below 230 lbs and I'm hoping to keep it that way. Unfortunately I've had a sweet tooth this week and haven't been too careful about that. I'd like to think that I eat less even if I don't necessarily eat the best. Some days are better than others.
I woke up in the middle of the night last night and decided I was going to make a mango smoothie for breakfast. It was delicious. I added blueberries, a little yogurt, wheat germ, prune juice, and mango (of course). My new blender is amazing. It chops ice like you wouldn't believe and makes delicious smoothies. I need to make them more often and get all the weird additives from the health food store. I always feel weird shopping there. Its as if I should have short hair, strange tatoos on the back of my neck and my name should be something found in nature.
P.S. Lean Cuisine is my friend. It makes for a great quick dinner and is less than 400 calories. There are so many varieties that I never have to get tired of eating the same ole thing. There are different brands as well such as Healthy Choice or Smart Ones. The portion sizes are much smaller than I would've ever eaten for dinner in the past but are perfect for learning portion control. They are great for when I don't want to cook or don't have time.
