232.8 (-2.7) in FIVE days!!!!!

I literally have not worked out once in those five days. Thank you smoothie challenge!!

Today I added half of a cucumber to one of my smoothies. It was so yummy and refreshing!

235.5 (+2.5) Yeesh...

Well, hubby was set on a having a turkey and the works for Thanksgiving yesterday. But I was eating bad earlier in the week too. :(

Update on smoothie diet: I'm only going to do smoothies for breakfast and lunch, and then eat a sensible dinner (sounds vaguely like some other kind of diet...?). We have dinner plans with others on at least two different occasions during this smoothie fast of mine and I'd rather eat with them than not.Plus, hubby was worried about me only consuming smoothies, so this makes him feel better too. 
Have a great weekend!

I recently watched a movie called Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead. It's a documentary about a man who tours around America for 60 days and follows a strict raw juice diet. He lost a ton of weight, got off all of his medications, and looked a whole lot better afterward. I'm not proposing a 2-month juice diet (heck, I don't even own a juicer), but I am going to do a week-long smoothie diet starting tomorrow. Of course these smoothies won't be like the ice cream/milk/loaded calorie smoothies, but they'll be packed with fruits and vegetables and some low-fat yogurt (something like this).
I'm excited. The only meal that will not be a smoothie will be Sunday dinner when we have "Thanksgiving" with my sister and her family. I'm going to do portion control and limit the things I eat during that meal.
Here's to some yummy smoothies!

Woo!!

I don't know about you, but whenever I'm on a walk alone, I'm usually thinking about how I would fend off an attack from behind, and an attack from the side, and how I'll attack them back, and keeping tabs on how far people who I've passed might be from me. That way I'm pretty aware of what's going on in case something were to go down.

I woke up to go to my class this morning, but I was so tired. So I made myself promise that I would go on a long walk if I could go back to sleep. I kept my promise and just got back from an hour-long walk. The weather was beautiful and I'm glad that I did it. Maybe I'll go back tomorrow.

I've been avoiding simple carbs for the past three days. It's been kind of rough and I never realized how much of my diet has consisted of carbs! But the fresh fruit and veggies have been great. It was on my bucket list to go for three days without simple carbs, and now that I've done it, I'm not going to cut them out all together, but I'm definitely going to be more aware of how much carb-loaded foods I put in to my body.

This is a bye week. I kind of wish it wasn't because I've been doing really well for the past couple of days. Hopefully I can continue that and my number next week will be stellar!

Today in my aerobics class, I rolled my ankle. It doesn't hurt too bad unless I twist it a certain way. But hey, I was at my aerobics class giving it all I could when that happened!
