So this morning, my eyes popped open at 4:45. I did not set my alarm or anything, although the 3 year old elbowing me might have had something to do with it. I went downstairs and spent about 30 minutes doing a Crunch Power Yoga Pilates something-or-other video, and then went into the kitchen.
Two things you should know before I continue. Number 1: I leave for work at 6:30AM. That is walking out the door time. Because of Number 1, we have Number 2: weekday breakfasts are usually an afterthought for me. They are something to be picked up as I walk out the door (or more truthfully - picked up from McDonald's on the way to work.). I love breakfast - eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, oatmeal, hashbrowns, pancakes, waffles, mmmmmm... But those things don't work for a weekday morning on the run.
Keeping those in mind... I decided to try my new immersion blender. Everyone is always yammering on about how great smoothies are, so I decided to give it a try. Frozen banana (which was a pain to peel! Anyone have any good ideas on how to deal with that one??), a container of strawberry Greek yogurt (usually I hate yogurt; unless of course it is frozen with brownies, M&Ms and other things on it.), and a can of Protein Power vanilla shake. My reasoning is that I'm going to have to drink that stuff for weeks after my surgery, so I better try it out now. It was so yummy! I'm excited. And 6 WWP for the whole thing - which I actually divided into two servings.
But I digress. This blog is not for the purpose of dissecting everything I eat and every exercise I do. It's for delving into the issues that have been roadblocks for me in the past. Usually the mornings have been difficult. Could today be the start of a new trend??
