My lovely little Christmas tree with white lights and cranberry garland. Plus a few presents are already underneath, waiting to be given out to some lucky people on Christmas Day.
I was really thirsty this morning so I easily decided I wanted a liquid breakfast. I made an amazing smoothie with Amazing Grass.
- 3 ice cubes
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 teaspoon of blueberry flax seed (probably not needed)
- 1 huge tablespoon of peanut butter
- 1 packet of Chocolate Green SuperFood
I drank it out of my Amazing Grass shaker so I wouldn’t end up with a smoothie mustache. This was SOOO good. I love the blend of chocolate and peanut butter. I couldn’t taste too much of the banana but it helped thicken the mix. This was very filling and really really tasty!
I was running a teeny tiny bit late, though not thinking I’d be late for work. I knew Boston was going to have crappy weather today…but I wasn’t prepared for such a slippery and slushy trip to the office. Plus a lot of traffic! Here’s a photo montage from my drive to work:
All photos were taken while I was safely stopped in traffic or at a red light. I needed two hands to drive so there was no way I would’ve attempted to use the camera while I was on the move. Scary. My 20 minute commute took 45 minutes today, gahh!
This outfit started off with knee high boots but when I got to work, I decided they needed to be water-proofed. Yup, smart move AFTER I had already walked through the slush puddles to get to my car. While the boots are drying, I’m wearing my brown heels that I keep under my desk.
I can’t wait to hit the gym later this afternoon. I skipped my workout yesterday, but by last night, I was going exercise crazy. I used the foam roller and my free weights while I watched the Biggest Loser. It took me a while to figure out why my hips and butt are SO sore. I kept using the foam roller and trying to loosen up my muscles. I guess my strength circuit on Monday really did work well!

Wow, you’ve got LOTS of snow!! I guess it’s not too surprising, considering where you live. We are stuck with a bunch of wind and coldness, but no snow.
I’ve been doing Amazing Grass in my coffee lately, and I don’t really like the taste, but I do think it gives me energy (although this could be placebo, who knows)!
