OK !!!! My super energizer smoothie.
 
Ingredients:
 
1/4c low fat milk
1/4c pomogranate juice ( can do w/o if you don't like pomogranates)
1 single folgers pack- make the coffee using 4oz water
1 single hawaiian sugarfree punch single (berry lime) my flavor
1 pack or scoop of whey protein in Spiru-tein (Raspberry Royal )
 
Directions:
Make the folgers coffee first
Then basically pour the coffee & other ingrediants in the blender with as much Ice as you desire and blend till smooth.
 
in the pic after I tasted the smoothie w/o the pomogranate juice it wasn't sweet enough for me so I added it in.

The best part?
That I want to celebrate by going to the gym, not eating a million course meal!
Its been a long time, but I did it, which means I can do it, and anything else I put my mind to. I have never been so happy in my life, I have to take my nails off but thats the lest of my worries, I just, its a great feeling!

So, once again If I stay consistant, follow the lapband rules and have a motivation/inspiration I do so much better. I have big events upcoming and I wont to feel and look my best. Las Vegas Meet n Greet (May), Hawaii anniversary trip (June), fitting for bridesmaid (August), new school assignment (August). With that said...I can't be slacking and acting like I don't know how and what to do to lose this weight I put on. I saw one of my videos from April last year and I had actually gotten down to 218 lbs. Really !!! See, if you are reading this blog....DO NOT take a break from living as a bandster! Its a daily life changing event. If you take a break, eat whatever you want, exercise some, not follow the LB rules; you can and will gain the weight back and FAST.
I will not let this happen again...once I get to my goal weight I must maintain. My doctor recommended goal weight for my body type and all that is 221 lbs. When he told me that I was like What!! Dang thats still FAT. He was like for you it would be good and you will be healthy, a smaller size. He was so right even though I saw 218-due to a liquid diet I'm sure... I still bounce back and forth all over the 220s. So, I won't be hard on myself Like I was last year. I won't just say' ugg forget it why work this hard and I'm not losing'...so what if I don't bounce in the 220s for months...years...I will be the best me in years.! With that said Never Giving UP is my motto for life.
I have stayed consistant this week-eating basically the same meal plan daily,exercising at least 30-60 minutes, not eating and drinking together, not eating High calorie sweets (been doing the Weight Watchers desserts), eating protein first in all my meals and snacks.
Sample of my Meals this week....
Brkft- Mocha Latte Protein
Snack- Tuna in pouch w/ light mayo
Lunch- Healthy Choice meal- taking out the carbs and adding more veggie
Snack- Protein Smoothy ( made w/ protein, ice, hawaiian punch single, fresh strawberries) or one day I had a protein bar
Dinner- Tilapia(sauteed)no salt, Stir Fry Veggies, and starch ( usually risotto, couscous,red potato)...later after if I have a desire a weight watcher dessert.
---- Workouts T/R zumba of course and all other days 30 min of either walk,kettlebell, softball (I coach) or bowl ( i'm on league)
So, I will be eating the same way till I go to Hawaii.... I will eat different in Vegas but will make good choices.
I must and will stay consistant.... I really like seeing the scales go down! Its motivating and not depressing of course. I'm the type that need to weigh daily.

Finished My first 3 mile JOG-Couch to 5k Wk9 Day 1!!!!!! So happy this time last year I couldn't even walk 30 mins good.Im so Happy.
Its crazy I just got on the treadmill and put it on the wk 9 podcast. I said to myself well if I can get to at least 20-28 mins of it I know next week i can do 30 mins-- then I just keep running. And she said on the podcast you have just finished 3miles congrats. Ok I felt like Rocky! LOL! I know now I can do 3 mile jogs starting 3 times a week . I am still 217 lbs well gained .4 so 217.4. My first Couch to 5 K jog was in July at 245 lbs and I struggled with jogging 30 second intervals at 2.0 speed. I am happy to have this opportunity in my life.
