Okay kids! I said I would occasionally share updates about my attempts at losing weight and here it is - 20 pounds since May and fifteen of it since June! I have been really watching what I have been eating, logging it in FatSecret, and moving more.
I never thought I would say this but smoothies have become a breakfast necessity! I have been experimenting with different fruits and flavors but my absolute favorite so far is Basil and Blueberry Green Tea Smoothie. I love this so much I actually submitted it to be judged in Juggling Real Food and Real Life's Smoothie Competition! I don't even think there is a prize - just bragging rights but I am pretty confident I have the best {wink, wink} and will win.
Fresh basil, spinach, blueberries, greek yogurt, bananas, green tea, and honey - what's not to love!
