So i kinda suck at being healthy or maintaining a proper healthy lifestyle.Recently I got a wake up call! I attended a seminar about heart attacks in women and how different the symptoms are from those in men. Most women and even the health workers attending to them do not realize they are having a heart attack until its too late. So this woman was talking about the symptoms we should look out for because in the last years more women than men have died from heart attacks. The numbers shocked me. I thought to myself that I needed to change my lifestyle; exercise more, eat other things other than fries and just do better. So lately thats what I have been doing.
My day starts real early. Having a shake whether just a Protein shake or a fruit smoothie cuts my breakfast preparing time plus it is healthier than my previous kinda breakfast. Another plus is that i can drink it on the go if I am running late. Been doing it for a while and I love it.

I feel full until lunchtime. Been working out in the gym 2-3 times a week. Netflix has been my treadmill buddy lately. More on keeping up workouts later. I also got a shaker from Trimr via Amazon. Good for the Protein shake days as it mixes everything pretty well. It has a straw as well as a part for chugging. It can also double as a fancy water bottle ;)
Another time saving trick I have found is to figure out how much of each fruit I need and pack the portions I need in Ziploc bags and just pop them in the Blender in the morning.
I put
1/2 cup blueberries
1/4 cup strawberries
1/2 banana
In the morning I add milk and scoop of protein and blend it all together. On my naughty days I also add a scoop of ice cream. I tend to use very ripe to over-ripe bananas as they are sweeter.
