New goal starts today!!

I woke up this morning at 3:30am starving. I tried to ignore it but it was making me nausous. So, I had to get up and eat at 4am. Let me tell you that was weird. On the plus side when I got up later today I wasn't nausous and I was able to go for a run. That always makes for a good day!

So today starts a 30 day challenge for me. My diet is terrible. Lets just admit it right here and right now. Well, unless you are think junior mints and cookies fit somewhere in a major food category on the food guide pyramid. I haven't found them there yet. I decided that right now why I am pregnant would be a great time to try and change my eating habits. It will be good for me and my baby. I don't plan on going cold turkey I just plan on making small changes slowly. Step one is as follows:

       So, in an attempt to get more fruits and veggies into my body I am taking the challenge that run to the finish has put out there. One green smoothie a day. The picture looks terribel but I am told that it really is good. What do I have to lose by at least trying it out. I have tried one smoothie with spinach in it and honestly I didn't know the spinach was even in there. So here is the smoothie I am trying today.

I know its not green but it does have spinach in it. I got it off of our best bites.   Looks yummy and even though its not green I am still getting fruits and veggies with it. If you follow along I am going to try and share the smoothies I am drinking this month. Try one I dare you.

Kate's power smoothie

1 cup orange juice (the good stuff not concentrate)
3 tbsp oat groats
3/4 cup fat free vanilla greek yogurt ( I think I have plain in the frigde)
3 cups cup baby spinach leaves
1 1/2 cup frozen bluberries (thank you to the person who lived her before me for planting those bushes)
1 1/2 cup crushed ice

Blend.  You may have to soak the goats in orange juice for a while to soften them up.



I will try it today and let you know how it goes.

Keep shifting gears/
