As you probably know by now, Myron and I have embarked on a fitness and diet adventure. For the last 150 days. We started with exercising using the Beachbody.com Power90 DVD for 90 days. We pretty much cut out high glycemic carbs like potatoes, pasta, rice and bread and consumed many more vegetables and fruits and lean proteins. After the 90 days we each lost plenty of pounds and inches. Then we immediately launched into Beachbody.com's Insanity exercise program. We only have 8 days left of the 60 days! We lost a few more pounds and got much stronger! A few weeks ago I witnessed a Vitamix demonstration at Whole Foods and thought I should buy one and make green smoothies to pack on the vegetables!!! But the Vitamix is $500.00! That is not in the budget if I want to go SCUBA diving in Turks and Caicos this coming Spring. Therefore, I went on Ebay and bid on a used one and now am the proud owner of a used Vitamix that I purchased for $250.00. It works great and we have been experimenting with green vegetable packed smoothies to consume after our Insanity workouts. Today I made a Beet Smoothie for Myron. He likes beets and it is one vegetable I can not even smell so I made myself a Spinach Smoothie.
The Beet smoothie contained beet, almonds, pineapple, blueberry, strawberries and ice. My Spinach smoothie contained spinach, blueberries, pineapple, celery, avocado 1/2, apple and ice. Myron loved his colorful smoothie and I loved mine!!!!! Healthy vegetables and insane exercise= one crazy couple!!!
Love you all!!!
Anna and Myron
