Shake it up: Peanut Butter and Bananas

Most week days I have a shake for breakfast. It is quick and I don't like cooking right before I leave. Here's my current favorite. I plan to tweak it by adding a protein powder, but the one I have has too many sugars in it.

2 TBSP PB2-powdered peanut butter
1 banana
1 C Skim Milk
1.5 C spinach
pinch Truvia or other non-sugar sweetener

Total WW Points: 3

Put in blender. Here's the one I use, which is a single serving and you can take the bottle with you:


Blend, and add ice until it's milkshake consistency. It is delicious!!

Please remember to verify the points with your points plus calculator or your WW app.

Emotional Day

So it's pretty embarrassing to admit to being an emotional eater. It is something I have struggled with admitting for a while now. The thing is that I always equate emotional with week and I like to consider myself a strong person. My journey from fat to thin; unhealthy to healthy has to include a lot of self-analysis which can be difficult to do. Why do I emotionally eat? Is it easier to eat then to face the emotions head on? I am pretty certain that this is the case. Today I ate at McDonalds and had a medium fries (in my defense I ordered a small, but was given a medium) and a McDouble extra onions. I ate the McDouble without the bun and documented the points in my app. After eating I was left feeling not fully satisfied and to be honest, a little sick. I felt light headed and like I needed a nap. It didn't feel like the sadness I was experiencing was suddenly gone, but now I just needed to sleep. While I was eating the fries the thought came to me, "You are emotionally

Weigh Day 3--Up .8 pounds

I don't know why I am not quite as angry as I thought I would be with myself at having gained weight this week. I know that week one I was a rock star when it came to documenting everything I ate. Week two and three I slacked off. I think it is that I imagined that after one week I know how much I can or cannot eat and still lose weight. Well, I don't. I have had many bad habits for about the past 10 years which I hope I can break in a few months. It's so frustrating. I can vividly remember being very skinny and I wish there was a switch I could turn on and be 130 pounds. Uggg. Well, this week I vow to myself to blog everything that goes in my mouth. Also, this week I will implement exercise into my diet. This week I promise to myself that I will exercise 4 days this week at 1 hour each. On another note, today is the 2nd day feeling sick. Hopefully I will lose weight this week, since I have been sick, but it didn't help this week! Hoping tomorrow I wake up feeling bet

Dreaming in skinny-Cuando empiezas a soñar con estar delgado

So, last night I had an awesome dream. No, this isn't a pun, I really did. I had a dream that my stomach was almost totally flat and my boobs were big. It was a dream come true. I remember in my dream I asked myself how I got to that point and realized that it was from eating very healthy. In my dream I was juicing and addicted to exercise. When I woke up I was mulling over the dream. Dreams inspire us, both those in day and night dreams. It made me want to wake up and juice some veggies. Back in the day (about 2004) I was working on learning Spanish. My teacher told me that when you start dreaming in Spanish (where you speak and understand) that is a step towards fluency. So the dream made me think...is this a sign that I am on my way to skinny? Well, I am taking it as a yes (though it might have something to do with me being sick :-) HJ
