Smoooth Monday

While it was Monday, and it was a work day, it wasn't bad overall.  I've been struggling the past few days, and trying to get back to an even keel.  The biggest blessing is my workout at the gym.  Russell, my PT, is always willing to talk about successes, failures, and feelings when it comes to trying to reach a goal.  His input is always spot on with suggestions and looking at things a different way.  One of today's suggestions was to change my cardio routine and try the StairMaster tomorrow.  Oh boy -- something to look forward to!

But another thing I have been wanting to try is making a smoothie that's not just a milkshake, but something more, better for me.  I sliced up a mango, a Granny Smith apple, a banana, then tossed in a handful of "mixed spring greens" (yeppp!) added 6 ice cubes and a splash of heavy whipping cream and whrrrrrrrrrrrrr went my fancy blender.  It juiced it all up and made quite the concoction.  Of course, because of the spinach and stuff, it was green, but it was sweet and delicious as well.  I drank mine before I fixed dinner.  And I was quite full from it, and my dinner salad.
