Today marks fifty days before my 50th birthday.
How did that happen? All I know is that I want to be a fabulous 50-year old and
not a frumpy 50-year old. Hmmmmmm. I guess I need to change some bad habits.
Like eating cookies for breakfast. I got rid of all the remaining cookies in my
house and I’m ready to make some positive changes.
I’ve been hanging around the 152-pound mark since summer and
it’s time to get going. (I’m actually up three pounds after the Halloween binge. And a recent cookie making binge.) I’m signed up to do an ocean swim in Hawaii THIS Saturday, November 22, and
would love to feel good from having a few days of clean eating under my belt.
Day One: 155 pounds
Breakfast: homemade oreo cookies
Lunch: a big salad with avocado, bell peppers, tomatoes,
cucumbers, pumpkin seeds and salsa
Dinner: more salad plus a glass of green juice made from cucumbers, spinach, apple,
grapefruit and ginger.
Dessert: an orange 50/50 smoothie to celebrate today!
5:30 am I biked at an easy pace for an hour
10:30am Hot Yoga at the Summit Athletic Club
And no, I'm not going to eat an orange 50/50 bar but this smoothie is almost as good and much better for you:
3/4 cup almond milk or coconut milk
1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/2 frozen banana
3 drops doTerra wild orange essential oil
ice as needed
Blend until thick and frothy. If you want it orangier, add 1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate.
Yum!
