Day 2

Do you know what I realized?

Everything in my life revolves around food.  Everything.  And I love it.  But my husband loves it more...not sure what Parker is going to do with all this healthy food, actually, haha.  I am going to have to make him unhealthy alternatives.

For instance...

This morning I made this absolutely delici-o-so blueberry smoothie.  It was so yummy and filling and it only contained a whole whopping 223 calories!  And now I am going to share this lovely recipe with all of you gorgeous people, because recipes are for sharing!  I mean, they are for me at least.  I have never been one to keep recipes a "family secret" or what not.  However, I can understand why some people do.  For instance, Rene Zellwiger's Minnesotan friend in the movie "New In Town" keeps her tapioca recipe a secret sworn to secrecy under an oath.  Considering the fact she received $250,000 royalties for her pudding perfection I sure as heck don't blame her!

The fact of the matter is I can't keep a dang thing secret if it has to do with me.  I have just always been a super open book.  It comes with the negative judgement of others from time to time, but for the most part it has made me a pretty happy kid.

Blueberry Breakfast Smoothie

Ingredients:Ice

3/4 cup Blueberries

1/2 Banana

1/2 cup Almond Milk (For the Parker version use regular milk you will need vanilla extract and more sugar)

4 oz Plain Greek Yogurt (Vanilla flavor would probably also be delicious)

Optional for my sweet tooth: 1 packet of Truvia Sweetner for no carbs, cals, or sugar//or for my husband, pour Cane Sugar to taste

Stick all of these things in a blender, for the Syphus Family, preferably the Magic Bullet!  We love the magic bullet- especially the convenient lids and straws that pop right onto the cup that blends the smoothie!

Speaking of campus, I have been quite inspired today. I mean check out this quote that was at the foot of all the staircases...

So last night's tamales were AHHHHMAAAZING!  So spicy and delicious.  Here's how they turned out!

Delicious!  But I ate way hay hay too many......

Of course, since I know you were wondering, I didn't forget to exercise today.  Now why, you are probably also wondering, would I think of running inside on such a GORGEOUS DAY????  Well the truth is......I was SO close to not doing a thing today.  I even woke up early and everything but I was so unmotivated...the clock hit night time when I realized I had to live up to all my blog readers expectations.  Which is probably like 3 people and my imaginary cat.  But still, you 3 people and my cat motivated me to go.  I just had to bring my husband to make sure I really ran.  30 minutes and it felt oh so good :) Thanks for motivating me, guys!
