Oooo smoothies!

I have asked a few of my fellow low carbers for breakfast ideas and one person suggested frozen berry smoothies! - Sounds yum! So I have had a search on the net and found this site:
http://www.natures-health-foods.com/smoothie.html obviously I'd have to adjust a few ingredients to limit carb content.

Here are a few I can do:


Blueberry Smoothie 
A very berry-licious breakfast or snack.
Servings: 1

Ingredients;
1 c. skim milk
1 c. frozen unsweetened blueberries
1 Tbs. cold-pressed organic flaxseed oil (MUFA)

Directions;
Place milk and frozen unsweetened blueberries in blender and blend for 1 minute.
Transfer to glass, and stir in flaxseed oil.
Very yummy!


Vanilla Yogurt and Blueberry Smoothie
A berry sweet and satisfying snack
Servings: 1

Ingredients;
1 c. skim or soy milk
6 oz. (80-calorie) vanilla yogurt
1 c. fresh blueberries
1 Tbs. flaxseed oil (MUFA)
Handful of ice OR 1 cup frozen blueberries

Directions;
Combine milk, yogurt, and fresh blueberries plus ice OR frozen blueberries in a blender.
Blend for 1 minute, transfer to a glass, and stir in flaxseed oil.

This site is quite helpful too as it says how many carbs are in what fruits: http://www.antioxidants-for-health-and-longevity.com/low-carb-smoothie-recipes.html

Damn! I actually really fancy a smoothie now! I have no room in my tiny freezer compartment though as I filled it up last night! D'oh!

I contacted the seller of my HRM and they told me to try resetting the HRM and if that didn't work thet would replace it. You can read about it and see what it did to my fingers here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/StephRP80/view/resetting-my-hrm-219376 - OUCHY!!

Dinner. Rump steak and rocket salad with fried mushrooms and onion

Having a slim day :D

I'm having one of those feeling slim days today! :) Not sure why but I'm not feeling bloated and I have my bigger size 12s on, so maybe that is why? But my stomach is feeling tighter too and I actually feel like I have some abs! lol Not that they are noticeable on the outside though!

Pay day today so I might look for some Low Carb recipe ideas!

I might try this peanut butter bread soon! http://i.imgur.com/t02yE.png



I still want to try the soy flour pizza (not that I have some soy flour) too: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/george-stella/low-carb-pizza-recipe/index.html

Dinner. Chicken breast and burgers with roasted veg.

Monday so soon?

Bummed about my HRM not burning me as many calories as I thought I was burning! But at least I can adjust my food diary so that I am still under my calories!

Random Dinner! Pay day tomorrow and a miss-match of food! Chicken breast, roasted veg (which shrunk to nothing) 2 slices of ham, roasted peppers and some jalapeno peppers
