Today, I'm going to try something crazy. Something that sounds ridiculous. Something that I'm probably very brave for trying. I'm going to make a Green Monster. What is that you ask? It's a smoothie with SPINACH in it.
This one is called the "Virgin Green Monster" for obvious reasons:
-2 cups spinach
-1 cup milk
-1 banana
-1/2 cup blueberries
- ice
I'll update later to post my success or fail at this attempt. People on this board that I follow swear that these give them energy, improve hair/skin/nails, and fill them up. It's worth a shot. I want to put a scoop of whey in it, too.
Yesterday was Day #2 of 5k training for the Tara Grant 5k in September. I'm trying to improve my time from last years. It was a tough run (mostly trail, which I was not ready for..), but I pushed through and ran (jogged) the whole thing. I skipped ahead to week #3 of the training because week #1 and week #2 were just way too easy because this isn't my first 5k.
I also went to a company picnic at the Zoo. I ate decent, filled my plate 1/2 with fruits/veggies, and 1/2 with a hot dog. I did have 2 cookies, but it's fine. I had enough activity in for the day. I drank water the entire time. It was great being there after it was closed to the public! The animals are so much more active at night, and there were so many more out than there normally are in the morning.
Today is weights day and 5k training then grocery shopping. It's my day off!
