I have to admit I wasn't looking forward to doing today's workout. Everything on my body was already sore so the idea of squats, lunges, and pull-ups was enough to make me feel nauseous. I did manage to get through the workout but not without feeling totally overwhelmed at the end. Almost in tears even. Then after feeling relieved to have completed Legs and Back I realized I still had to do Ab Ripper X. I hate doing Ab exercises but I have noticed how much they have helped my mid section---so I did them. The only bright part about finishing was my berry smoothie. This simple little smoothie is the highlight of my mornings. It is light and oh so good. So I guess I will just have to keep on going since I want my sweet reward at the end!
Berry Smoothy:
1 vanilla flavored yogurt (Yoplait Fat Free)
small scoop of frozen blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries
about 1 cup of milk (I just add more if it is too thick)
small dolop of whipping cream (only 15 calories)
This makes enough for 1 adult and a little bit leftover for a child. For 2 adults we double the yogurt and add more berries and more milk. It is not an exact science how many berries we put in but it is probably between 1/8-1/4 of a cup per berry for an individual serving!
