7/31/2010 Workout

Good Morning….. I did 30 min on the treadmill. Warm up 3.0 then stay at between 3.5 and 3.7 most of the time a few minutes of 3.3  and warm down of 2 mins at 3.0 again.

Then I made a Chocolate, strawberry, banana Green Monster Smoothie…. I replaced the almond milk with Silk Light Chocolate milk. Add about 5 strawberries…. Yummy

7/29/2010 Workout

Good Morning I am up and all exercised LOL I did 40 min on the treadmill. Warm started at 3.0 and went up to 4.0 Once again the 4.0 was only for 1 min. I stay at 3.7 and 3.8 a lot and when I got tired 3.5 I went back to 3.0 for my warm down. BTW the green monster smoothie with cantaloupe was delicious. I cant believe I have eaten 10 cups of spinach since sat LOL. I have gotten my mother in law hooked on them too.  I am also doing a breathing technique during my warm up and incantations during my walk. I explain more on those later……. Have a great day all!

7/26/2010 Workout

I really like this getting up early to exercise.  I walked 40 min on the treadmill speeds varying from 2.7 warm up to 3.8. However the 3.8 was probably a total of 4 min. No incline today. After the treadmill I did my 20 minute turbo jam. We will see how I feel tomorrow. Then I made me a green monster smoothie yummy….and I really am seeing an increase in energy with the monsters :)

Ranch Chiles Rellenos

Ranch Chiles Rellenos Recipe
Dark green, shiny poblano chiles are the traditional choice for chiles rellenos. They have great flavor, but may be too spicy for some tastes. Anaheim chiles are reliably mild substitutes. You can stuff chiles with almost anything: cheese, shrimp, smoked fish, tuna and sour cream, grilled vegetables or crabmeat.

Results on the Green Monster Smoothie

Okay so here’s the verdict not bad at all. I could not believe I barely tasted any green flavor. I think with a little tweaking I will not even be able to tell that there is green stuff in there. I promised to give you the recipe so here it is.  There are many variations you can do to this smoothie. Very healthy and good for energy, hair, skin and etc. Doesn’t sound good but really is. I added a big tablespoon of peanut butter to make even more yummy. Oh you need to use fresh spinach!
