Spring Cleaning Update

So to my dismay on Monday I went into my somewhat yearly physical and was hit hard with the fact that I weigh more than I thought.  I believe the scale said 161, a number I quickly tried to forget.  And sitting here eating an uraro cookie (delicious!) instead of feeling guilty I'm gonna say f@ck it!  We're f'in biking 80mi to San Diego on Saturday.  I'd like to pick an average weight person off the street and see if they can do that!  So even if I'm overweight for my height I'm doing more than what an underweight, average weight or your average overweight person will ever do!  Boo-yah!  


And on that note, spring cleaning update...
This morning I slurped on a OJ, banana, strawberry, blueberry, and cabbage smoothie.  Yes, cabbage.  I pretty much take whatever vegetable in my fridge that is either on the edge or bought for the purpose of smoothies and blend them to the point of disappearing in my morning beverage.  Last week it was chopped and pre-washed kale from Trader Joe's.  Spinach is good.  Chard.  Carrots.  Broccoli.  The last couple days has been the cabbage that I had bought for a slaw that never got made.  How do I do this without it being a weird consistency?  I am the proud owner of a Vitamix blender.  Yes, the same brand they use in professional kitchens and Jamba Juice.  $400 at Costco and totally worth it.  The only time that it had a problem was when I tried to make homemade hummus.


And for lunch we have an arugula, radicchio, lettuce, carrot, grape tomato, beet, feta salad with a balsamic and rice vinegar dressing.  Nom!


Totally makes up for the tacos I had on Tuesday ;)


Oh, and my roommate said I'm looking more and more toned.  Hell yes :D


I'm also developing a nice compression sleeve tan... I may need to sacrifice wearing those on the bike to avoid more tan lines.  I really don't need more tan lines.









Stuck in my head all day yesterday.
