Day 106 - I'm becoming a master at making smoothies

Well, I'm sure you are all wondering how I had such a large weight loss this week. Exercise, right? Wrong! I think I'm allergic to exercise, so I try to do the minimum amount required. Nope, I changed my diet. My doctor said that he recommends a high protein diet to all of his PCOS patients. So, I started a diet using plant protein. I have a protein shake for breakfast, one for lunch, and a healthy dinner. This is very similar to Slimfast. However, for some reason, my body is responding better to the plant protein than the high protein shakes from Slimfast.

This morning I had my favorite smoothie! It consists of orange juice, ground flaxseed, rice milk, plant protein powder, and mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, & blackberries). The powder didn't come with any recipes so I've become something of "Top Chef", mixing different things until I find a flavor I like. In one week, I lost 3 pounds on this diet. I can't wait to see if I'm as successful next week.

  1. AWESOME!!! That is wonderful! It is always good to work at something and see results.

    BUT

    You aren't allergic to exercise! Your body needs it, your heart needs it, and you will see even more results. No go get your shoes on and go for a fast walk. Do it girl!!!

  2. Don't use logic and reasoning with me. I'm happy in my own little world. The people are very nice here. :)

    Seriously, thanks! I do need to workout more, but the weather has been lousy. Between severe thunderstorms and possible tornados, the weather here has been miserable all week. I'm looking forward to some sunshine!!!
