31, Busy Day Survival, and John Sivak for the WIN!

Today I realized... OH CRAP! My birthday is Saturday. I am not that excited about it this year. I guess that is part of the getting older bit. Maybe I will be able to avoid cake and booze. Fingers Crossed. We are saving money by not buying me gifts. NO Cake? No booze? No presents? and I get to be 31! No wonder I am blocking it from my memory.

Today was a busy day. I had an appointment to get to at 1:00pm so I didn't get a chance to eat lunch. I had intentions of waking up early and making a big breakfast to hold me over but that didn't happen either. So I made a big smoothie to get me through and it was the best smoothie ever. I really think I should open up a smoothie stand. Investors? Let me break down that smoothie and WHY i picked each ingredient.

ALMOND MILK heart health, good source of iron, protein (not lots but some) and vitamin B!

SOY YOGURT heart healthy, good source of iron, vitamin D (which I am defeciant in)

BERRIES low calorie, high in vitamin C, and good source of calcium, magnesium, and potassium

SPINACH full of vitamins and minerals. Just eat the damn spinach.

FLAX SEED contain fiber, vitamins, minerals and healthy omega-3 fatty acids and also help restore hormonal balance.

AVACADO BEST THING TO ADD TO SMOOTHIE. TASTE SO GOOD! plus rich in monounsaturated fatty acids that improve your blood cholesterol levels and may also help you control blood sugar levels. They also contain fiber, minerals, B-complex vitamins, and vitamins C and E

This got me through a day of no time to eat. AND I DO NOT SKIP MEALS!

I came home and made chicken meatloaf. Don't ask, it looked good but it was weird. I can't be the best cook ever all the time. Yesterday I made chili, I didn't even use canned beans, I soaked those beans, I used whole tomatoes, It was the best.

John Sivak has been a real champ. He is currently drinking HERBAL TEA! No Milk No Soda and in two weeks he will be sans crystal light when I buy him this...DRINK MIX

John is really winning at this lifestyle change. I am so proud. I haven't heard him complain about acid reflux either. 2 days and already cured. After a busy, exhausting day I rewarded myself with zero calories of....
