  1. Exercise day 2

    Yippppeeee! I did it twice in a row!
    elliptical trainer for 30 minutes
    Yoga 20 minutes

    I'm weaning myself off the scale habit. This is because I always gain weight when I begin to exercise which makes me want to stop. Therefor, since I know exercise will help me lose weight in the long run, the scale is hibernating for a while. How long does it take to form a new habit? This elliptical trainer is still not a bit fun for me. I will do it anyway!!!

  3. Why am I blogging?

    I'm journaling online for a few different reasons. Alissa says to keep a journal, and I'm better at typing a journal than writing one. It is helping me, I think, to stay committed.

    I am craving a fast!!! Strangely said but true statement.

  5. First Green Smoothie

    by on 04-17-2008 at 08:41 AM (Just another raw Texan)


    I didn't blend it enough. I'm having to chew my smoothie. I'm surprised by the amount that I made. I thought it would be a pint, but it made a quart. The taste is kind of horrid, 'cos I threw in everything that was dark green and only 1 small mango. Next time, I'm adding a banana or I'll eat the mango pieces while I'm drinking the smoothie.

    One day soon, I'm going to buy a Vitamix.
