The Day Begins

Today marked the beginning of our ever-changing lifestyle. I was up early and began the day by making a few smoothies, followed by breakfast.

For our five-year-old, I made a chocolate banana smoothie.

1 banana
1/2 cup rice milk
1 tbs flax seed
2 tbs cocoa

Yields 8 oz

For the two of us, I made Big Green's with chocolate.

1 banana
3 cups spinach
3 tbs flax seed
1 cup rice milk
1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Yields 16 oz

We are using our Big Greens as our recovery drink and protein bar combined. This is a major modification to the P90X diet we have opted for. We will use this as our morning snack and another will be made for each of us as our afternoon snack.

Breakfast consisted of Mushroom and Onion omelets, 8 oz of cottage cheese and 1 cup strawberries.

1/4 cup diced mushrooms
1/8 cup diced green onions
2 eggs beaten
1 oz goat cheese
1 tbs olive oil (for the pan)


Today's agenda for lunch is a chef salad. For dinner we will be eating salmon and wild rice. I'm looking forward to our supper. I haven't had a good salmon meal in some time.
