Fresh Start

So I've gotta tell you all... You have BLOWN ME AWAY with how many views my page received in just 24 hours! I am so humbled & grateful to have you all on this journey with me! I don't know what the etiquette is for blogging, if I should do one a day or not. Sooooo, with that said. I'm kind of just going to go with the flow. Like I said yesterday, I want this to be an open flow of communication. I want to hear from you all! So comment, email me, whatever it may be! :) Ok, so with that said, here I go! 

First up, I HAVE to share with you my new obsession. My new "Fresh Start" And it's a Breakfast Smoothie. Yes, you read that correctly, a Smoothie. My friend Brooke, who BTW, is awesome :) She has been encouraging me,on my Healthy Journey, with sending me recipes. She as well has adopted a new Health regime that is similar to mine. We both have to give all credit to Dr. Oz on this recipe :) But if not for her, I wouldn't have known about it!

The recipe is as follows: 

1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (I use Unsweetened Vanilla Flavored because that's just what Danny & I always have) 
4-5 Frozen Strawberries (or any berry you like, equivalent to this amount, also, Frozen so that you don't need ice) 
1/2 of a Frozen Banana 
2 TBSP Ground Flaxseed 
2 TBSP Rice Protein (I used Brown Rice Protein, can find it in the Organic/Healthy area of Grocery) 

Just blend that all up in the Mixer of your choice, and BOOM! Here's what you get!



I cannot stress to you how great this is. It will keep you full for a good 3 hours at least! I've always struggled with staying full after breakfast. I was watching one of Dr. Oz's videos about his new 2 Week Detox, and he said this.. "You crave more food when eating Wheat" so there you have it, from the Dr himself :) I hope you will make this recipe! 

Onto the next topic, it will be a short one.. Jeremiah Lamar :) We were heading out to the Gym this morning, which was followed by a play date. When walking to the car, he ran to MY door first & said.. "Let me open your door first Momma!" Say whaaaaaaat? He is so polite & considerate. I think Danny & I can say, we are raising such a compassionate little gentleman. I don't know what I would do without him. We had such a fun day together today. He says & does the funniest things! I have to share this cute picture with you all :)
I mean, it is Flash Back Friday after all right? This was last year! Those EYES! 



Well I must be off, my other main man should be walking through the door from work at any moment!.
