Fruit Smoothie Day – Healing Journey Day 33

Journal:
I was so impressed with myself this morning! I actually got out of bed at a decent time, and besides one misstep, I was actually doing good all around with my time this morning!

Once again, I packed the remaining mangoes that I had and some frozen bananas. And as happened yesterday, I didn’t get a chance to make my first smoothie until the afternoon. But when I did finally get to make it, I savoured every minute of its flavour. I am really enjoying the combination of some very juicy, very ripe, excellent quality mangoes with some frozen bananas. Seriously, try it out!

The school day was crazy so I did not get to make another smoothie after this. Instead, I finished up work, came home, got changed, and left to do some errands. I was “recruited” by my housemate to join a female soccer team this year, so I had to go to the soccer centre to pick up a player’s card. This was easy and didn’t take long at all.

The next stop was the gym. Booster Juice is attached to my gym, and because I was very hungry, I bought a Tahiti Squeeze before my workout. This is another juice/smoothie like the Maui Juice. It consisted of some fresh-squeezed orange juice, some fresh-pressed apple juice, and blended with some strawberries. It was quite tasty.

For a workout, I completed four different ab exercises and then did about 33 minutes of cycling. It was good to be in the gym and after doing ab exercises two days in a row, my abs are starting to feel it.

To end the night, I had a mango banana smoothie again. This time, I changed the ratio: 1 fresh mango to 2 frozen bananas. Man, I’m telling you: if you haven’t tried this combination yet, do it! You’re definitely missing out!

Fruit Smoothie Day – Healing Journey Day 32

Journal:
I thought it was going to be incredibly hard to wake up this morning, but surprisingly, it wasn’t so bad. I did miss my pooch, however, as he was still at the babysitter’s until I could go get him after school.

I took some frozen bananas and some ripe Keitt mangoes to work with me. I didn’t have a chance to go shopping for other fruits, and since I’ve technically managed to mess up all smoothie days but the first one, I’ve dedicated today and tomorrow to smoothie days so I can still get in my three smoothie days. I will have to go shopping for more fruit though very soon.

I didn’t get a chance to make a smoothie until after lunch today, so I guess you could say I did intermittent fasting today! In the first smoothie, I blended about 2 and a half bananas with 2 mangoes. Oh my goodness. It was SO GOOD! You can definitely tell when you have good quality fruit! Yum!

After school, I had to run home right away so I could drive to pick up my dog before the kennel closed for the night. I didn’t have time to make another smoothie, so I stopped at Booster Juice along the way and got what is called a Maui Juice. Now, a Maui Juice is not truly a juice; it is a cross between a smoothie and a juice. It has pineapple juice, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and frozen bananas blended up. It was pretty good, but definitely not filling.

I did intend to go to the gym, but I just didn’t make it there this evening. I didn’t feel right not doing anything to progress my fitness, so instead, I stayed home and did some ab exercises.

After I did these exercises, I made myself another smoothie containing one frozen banana, two Keitt mangoes, and a bit of water. It was so yummy!

And that was pretty much it. Aside from that, I worked on the computer for awhile until I went to bed.

Review of Symptoms:
-Energy was good.
-Digestion better than yesterday.
-Feeling good on smoothies.
-Acne is same.

Weight at the end of the day = 173.2 lbs (down 3.4 lbs since yesterday)
