A Solution and Cool Shirt

First off, check out my fun tank top that I found at Old Navy a couple of months ago. I just had to get it because of the motto on it and because it was my "new" size XL. It's a little too snug for me to wear in public just yet, but since I workout in my house I can wear it to "my gym". Of course, posting it online for the whole world to see is pretty "public" isn't it??? LOL I'm holding my stomach in a lot for this picture, and I just know you guys are more forgiving in health blog land.

In that cup you will see today's solution to finishing off my last Yoplait greek yogurt. I made a smoothie with greek yogurt, chocolate 100% whey protein powder and a banana. YUM!! My kids tasted it and want one now.

When I compared the nutrition information of regular yogurt to greek yogurt I just knew that the greek is better for me because of it's high protein content. So, I'll keep looking around for something more enjoyable, or just keep finding ways to make it more palatable for me. It's kind of like a workout...I just feel better after I've eaten it even if it wasn't the most enjoyable going down. :)

  3. I think you look great in your new tank! I want one!

    I haven't tried the Greek yogurt. How do you make your smoothies with the yogurt? I need a good recipe! Can you get the Greek yogurt at the regular grocery store or only at health food places?

  4. Aw! Cute!

    I drink whey protein shakes at least once a day. Some days twice. Next headline will be the dangers of whey :)

    I like Greek yogurt fine but I don't like the price. Ouch!

  5. I love the shirt!
    Smoothies are great, I make a Green Monster a few times a week and all the children have to have some too! I have to get greedy some times and say that's enough or I won't get any! lol

I've been going to interviews up until I got the job last week.

I will let you know when I write the progress down from now on so I'm not leavin you hangin like some of the challengers are leavin me hangin, lol. Hope you have a good weigh in tomorrow!!!
