It's a lovely day to be alive (as usual). Today when I woke-up and weighed myself I was pleasantly surprised, 176 lbs. I realize that's no reason for a parade, but at least that proves my bike rides yesterday paid off.
Today is my day off (woo), and that gives me some really nice options of what I can be doing and eating. It's also Friday, which means my family will be ordering pizza. I always say I'm gonna hand up, but at the last min. I usually go YOLO, and get a spinach, tomato, garlic deep dish pizza. The problem is not only will I just screw up Friday night, I will continue to be screwing up all weekend long reheating it instead of making real meals. I hope that by posting this out into internet land, it will give me some sense of responsibility. I know, God forbid, the handful of people who look at this see I ate some pizza, but that's my plan.
I'm starting out the day well with Post Banana-Nut Crunch (my favorite). For lunch I'm gonna make one of my shakes/ smoothies (I go back and forth on what to call them. Is there a difference?). I have all the ingredients to make a....
watermelon smoothie:
1 c. fresh watermelon, 1 c. fresh spinach, 1 c. lite soy milk, and 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder. If you add ice it's kind of a watermelon milkshake. Just blend it all in your blender (duh), until smooth. It's really good, and the spinach flavor completely disappears. I have a Ninja blender, that gets mine really smooth, I don't know how well other blenders stack up.
My goal is to make a real dinner like grilled salmon with rice and vegetables or something, to go on 3 bike rides at least a mile each (I don't yet have to endurance to it all at once, but I'm getting there), and to leave to pizza my family orders alone. I can do it!
