Smoothie kick!

I've got me a sick boy today.  He's got the coughings as he likes to call it.  The moment a cold seems to start, his asthma kicks into overdrive.  Poor kid was coughing all night and still all morning.  He's also got a stuffy nose.  He's all snug on the couch watching saturday morning cartoons.  He was still well enough to drink our morning smoothie which had 2 bananas(they are starting to get too ripe), greek yogurt, my Arbonne protein powder and fibre boost powder, raspberries, blueberries and a frozen spinach cube that I just made.  When I stocked up for my smoothies I went to Costco.  Well anyone who's ever been to costco knows that you can't get anything small there.  So I got lots of spinach, lettuce, bok choy, and other things but I don't those greens going bad.  So anyways I started with the spinach and I blended it all up with a bit of water and froze it in ice cube trays, then took them out and stored them in a freezer ziplock bag.  genius!  Reason #184654 why I love Pinterest, I get so many great ideas from there.

Yumm!

I was suppose to do a spin class this morning but with a sick child that was a no go.  I'm not about to bring him in their child care and get everyone else's kids sick.  I'll just have to do something from home, like jumping jacks or maybe one of my work out DVDs.  My beagles are also really really hyper this morning and jumping all over the place as if they have springs in their paws so we'll be going for a nice long walk.

I've been good at sticking to my morning and lunch smoothies and then a good healthy meal for diner, give or take one slip up.  I missed the egos in my freezer when I purged my cupboards of junk food.  But I'm not worried.  I won't punish myself.  I still want to live life and enjoy things.  Food is my friend :)  Moving on then... I think my body isn't quite use to this much nutrients flowing through my body and I've been feeling rather gassy and bloated and my bowels are re-adjusting.  That might be too much info but I'm being honest. I'm told this is all normal and it won't be long now for my body to feel great!  I can't wait!  This is sort of uncomfortable.

Hopefully my little guy is feeling better by tomorrow morning in time for me to make the 10am spin class.  It's my new favourite thing.  I have a busy day planned tomorrow though.  I've got my new business partner's launch party to attend, then we are heading out to a training and then to my sister's place to brainstorm ideas to better our business'.  An Arbonne filled day!  It's going to be amazing!!

Sometimes you just need to pamper your skin!  Arbonne seasource mud mask!

I thought this was pretty neat!
