Ruth, let me know how you like the green monster. I'm hooked on them.

I'm not sure if what I'm doing is right but I put a cup of skim in the blender, add an egg, strawberries, some ground flax and a load of spinach or chard leaves and then zap it. I must look up the real recipe.

That sounds pretty much right. I don't use the egg, though. Something about raw eggs just doesn't do it for me.

I make mine with us vanilla almond milk, ricotta or cottage cheese, frozen fruit of some sort, chia, a big handful of spinach, and a package of Truvia. It keeps happy and satisfied until lunchtime.

I throw in the egg for protein but cottage cheese would do the same, I guess.

Smoothie Island Impact......311 Calories!!!!!!!!!! Whoo Hoo......

I haven't been sleeping well at night. The only changes I've made is the addition of a lot more miles into my daily routine - I would think that would make me more tired, but I've just been restless at night. Tips?

P2

1: cottage cheese w/ peaches, cinnamon and almonds
2: 1/2 ww wrap with lean roasted turkey, toamtoes, sprouts, greens, kalamata olives and hummus; cantaloupe; a bit of salad
3: big late lunch, not necessary
4: out for pizza - salad and a piece of pizza

exercise: 60 min. strength training, 4 mile run

Anything on your mind, Zeff? What time of day are you exercising? If not in the morning, maybe moving it earlier in the day would help. I've had consistant sleep problems in the past for several days in a row about a week or so before TOM, so I think hormones play a role as well.

Grocery shopping day...getting VERY low on veggies!!

Okay..I keep peaking at the scale because I've been discouraged every week when I weigh in. My weigh in days are on Mondays. I figured that would make it so that I don't go crazy on the weekends, because in the past my weigh in days have always been on Fridays. Anyway, each week I weigh on Saturday, just to see where I'm at and I'm happy with the results, but then by Monday I've gained weight. So frustrating. So....this week is no different. On Monday I weighed in at 206.6....this morning I weighed 203.2. I'm SO hoping the scale stays that way until Monday!! urgh!!!

B: V8, coffee, fruit
L: brown rice pasta, tomato sauce, spinach and carrots

1oftheluvs - quite a few of my dreams have involved weird yoga scenarios, and i'm teaching my first yoga class tomorrow, so that may be it.
