Speaking of Strawberries!!!

I am heading off to bed, but I told you that I would post my favorite smoothie that my husband makes me for breakfast!!! YUM!! I get excited just thinking about it!!!

Ok, first you will need to gather the ingredients:
1 cup of frozen strawberries
1 large banana
2 cups of skim milk
2 teaspoons of flaxseeds
4 tablespoons of agave (or honey/splenda to sweeten)
1 handfull of ice

Put it all into a blender and blend until creamy smooth!!! Pour into 2 large glasses and enjoy!!! This amount makes enough for 2 people!!!

My husband and I like to split this into insulated coffee travel cups as we are running out the door before work – that way we both have a quick, convenient, and HEALTHY start to our day!!! These will then stay nice and thick for a little over an hour!!! This is one of my FAVORITE breakfasts – THANK YOU, SWEETIE!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Oh, and half of this recipe equals about 5 pounts!!! 🙂
I hope you try this and let me know what you think!!!

Have a GREAT EVENING!!!

This New Weekend!!!

Bonjour mon ami!!!

It is Saturday morning and the old me always used weekends as 2 days of eat-whatever-the-hell-you-want-because-you-have-done-GREAT-all-week-and-you-deserve-to-live-a-little nutritional NIGHTMARE!!!! It is amazing what one is willing to do to one’s body in the name of “You deserve this!”

REALLY???
This is what I deserve?????
Bloating?
Emergency bathroom breaks????
The inability to TOUCH MY TOES????

WHAAAAA???? There has got to be more to life than this!!! Well, thankfully you are now dealing with the NEW Christina!!! I am planning my day, not around food and meals, but my day is about GETTING OFF OF MY BUTT and having some real fun with my life!!!

Today, I am going to have a very French breakfast – Les Tartine, which is about a 1 foot section of baguette, sometimes toasted, and is buttered and jellied!! It is soooo delicous!! This is about 1/2 of the length of an American baguette and equals about 5 points. After adding my 2 tablespoons of whipped butter, and 2 tablesppons of sugar free fruit preserves, the total points of this breakfast comes to only 7 points!!!! WHAA-HOO!!! 😉

I will pack some crudit̩s with me to go out shopping with one of my girlfriends, and make sure to pack my water!! one can never get enough hydration!! I think a deli sandwich for lunch Рheavy on the veggies, please Рwill be a very satisfying lunch!!! Finally for dinner, tonight it is homemade, which is ALWAYS EASY to be both healthy AND DELICIOUS, which I love!!!

Alrighty – I am off for the day! I hope everything is going well for each of you – I can’t wait to hear how you are all progressing!!!

À bientôt
