Last night I made the most delish smoothie. Since I don't have a blender I haven't really tried to make any smoothies or low-fat shakes because what I really want is to be able to throw fruit and ice and whatever I want and have it all blend up to perfection. What I do have is a stupid shake-maker that I thought was something it is not when I put it on my gift registry. Should have put a blender on that thing. Sigh, hindsight.
Well at our local Coles they have small bottles (2 servings) of these wonderful fruit things. They're not exactly juice, and they're not exactly thick, but they're all natural and basically delicious. I blended banana flavored nestle yogurt and 1/2 cup skim milk along with 50 mls of the mango flavored one and whoala, a 2 point smoothie which I shared with mr ralph. Today I will make a coffee flavored smoothie by adding instant coffee with a coffee flavored yogurt. Sounds good no? Well I am frothing at the mouth in anticipation.
I didn't hop on the scale this morning, more out of fear than anything. I worry that my Saturday sins will have caught up to me by now, so I went for a 30 minute walk and avoided the scale. This evening I will be at the gym doing a beginner's water aerobic class. I hope it is not too easy as I may get bored with it. I really hope I like it.
Yesterday as the husband spent some time in his office at the university I spent the afternoon dragging out our little Christmas tree and put it up. I knew Buckley would be very curious about it, and I had to spray him with water all afternoon to keep him from playing with it. When I woke up this morning it was lying on it's side and all of the candy canes and some of the ornaments were on the floor.
I picked it up easily enough, but I hope he doesn't do it again. Maybe he was punishing me for locking him out of the bedroom when he woke me up at 3am?
