Smoothie Day 21

Breakfast

Green tea rice cake

Apple, avocado, lime, and spinach smoothie- 221 cal, 11 g fiber

-1 apple

-1/3 avocado

-juice of ½ lime

-3 cups spinach

It's funny how I now think that 11 g of fiber isn't that much, since I'm now used to consuming 50+ g of fiber in a day.

Really excellent smoothie with a hint of smoothness. Apples and avocados are lovely together in salads, and now in green smoothies.

Something I made note of yesterday in my mind, but not on this blog, is that if you eat something remotely sweet while you drink your smoothie, or before, it's hard to taste the sweetness and subtleties of the smoothie.

Hm… yummy. Maybe I want an avocado salad today. Or maybe another avocado and lime

After workout- 30 min walking and running (because I didn't have to go to one class!)

1/3 slice of cake

My mom made it for me J My period is coming soon, so my sweets-lust is upped even more than usual.

Lunch

Apple, avocado, lime, celery, cucumber, and kale smoothie- 780 cal, 29 g fiber

1 serving almonds- 210 cal

-2 apples

-1 avocado

-juice of 1 ½ lime

-2-3 cups kale

-1/3 cucumber

-4 stalks celery

-2 tbsp honey

This is for lunch and dinner. I was really craving more avocado, so I made another avocado smoothie J

I ate more kale J It was yummy raw with balsamic vinegar and a little bit of chicken. One of my favorite greens that I will miss a lot during my summer vacation at a faraway island L

My computer tricked me~! I chose the program on my workout DVD for 42 min, but my computer kept stopping the DVD, and then restarting at the same spot. I thought it retained my program, but I was just stuck on an endless loop of exercises that would've kept going for more than the hour I worked out if I hadn't realized what happened. But I got a really good workout. I was dripping sweat (am dripping sweat as I'm typing this, ew). I forgot how good it feels to do weight-lifting and to sweat tons.

3 weeks already! Yay!

Cake

Green tea rice cake

Dang. My sweets eating spiraled out of control. That's only how upset I am. I really didn't know that I did emotional eating at all. But it's okay—just another learning experience! I'll know to keep myself occupied with exercising next time.

Smoothie Day 17

Breakfast

1 pear, 1 banana, 1 cup berries (70 cal), and 6 cups collards- 343 cal, 21 g fiber

Lunch

Pizza at Whole Foods, 1 slice of vegetarian pizza, and some breakfast pizza.

The breakfast pizza was so decadent. It had layers of egg, sausage, bacon, and cheese. Not the healthiest thing or happiest thing for your arteries, but it was sooo good. I have half a slice in my refrigerator right now.

Dinner

Mango, banana, kale, and parsley smoothie- 375 cal, 14 g fiber

The mango was really overpowered by the parsley. Actually, everything was overpowered by the parsley. But it's good! It has this light refreshing taste.

Rest of breakfast pizza

The pizza is so good that I can't keep it in the refrigerator ^^;;

I blended it all into a smoothie. I also added a lot of cinnamon by mistake, so it was spicy sweet. But good, nonetheless.

Lots of crackers; hard studying induces snacking. It is proven through empirical evidence…

I don't even want to think about how many calories I consumed today. But my exam is tomorrow morning, which leaves the afternoon free to do whatever exercising I wish to do. J

I have up to four hours tomorrow to exercise~ yay!
