Rockin’ Friday…literally!

<p>Happy Friday Friends!! We made it!! </p> <p>So it seems like the consensus from <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/04/to-verify-or-not.html">yesterday’s question</a> is that, for the most part, word verification doesn’t stop you from commenting!</p> <p>My Friday started out a bit sluggish. Kyle and I stayed up a tad bit too late last night and I wasn't too keen on getting out of bed when the alarm went off at 6am this morning! But nevertheless, I did! </p> <p>Breakfast was a <u>HUGE</u> smoothie! I think I must have used more ice than normal because the blender was FULL! Today my smoothie contained <strong>1 small banana</strong>, <strong>1 1/2 c strawberries</strong>, <strong>strawberry yogurt</strong>, <strong>1/2 scoop</strong> of <strong>protein powder</strong> and <strong>ice</strong> for a total of <strong>4 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuefxbwn7_twP-eY2qEQs6gGkOpZGnaZh81sYUeLPKMSzZB9qrAXADaKibgM2A74dR1fA0TxB3r-mRtCXlp3Sh0c0RN8NwTV53vK0f-_eodIViwoLgPYOr01GSH56o2dTeSOYj7vCTx2T_/s1600-h/DSC06968%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06968" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirSQ-IaxJOA0ep-kQooxmQ8YGGf6JQ3MLov_V-UI6d4-OXJh8NW6cSTSx83ZJn5lhWHXFmK2Rr0mTJ6q49-Ba3qigk5kr7EfExSBIzWAZlrFFXx_nDClx209bbuf2ji8JqQIYAstpEUdBI/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06968" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I plan to pick up some <strong><u>spinach</u></strong> this weekend at the grocery store so I can try out my first "<a href="http://greenmonstermovement.com/">green monster</a>"! </p> <p>I struggled to keep my eyes open through the morning. But I think the fact that it is Friday got me through! Well, that, and my morning snack! The usual mix of <strong>1 1/2c strawberries</strong>, <strong>1/4c grape nuts</strong>, and <strong>strawberry yogurt</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8b3No5uU83TOy8xL_Qd43SZkXPrMPp9CJEm4GnmqNnlWE7iSK9ybD42tUfBSn6fd7yqTJSIR6bCxn0Okf56IcP7L_qACs-tophwsu_8Z4KI-gASiHZ28GBMhJM6_lriPqjA_b_GFVW3k6/s1600-h/DSC06969%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06969" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMa7WMNi16VMA1lfsl5sMJx9zimFaanauZ3CjVuRq5RoouOlP8ycNIrs_N85A622bAqtOam9_E1a1SvP1bBjvqPXk8wCr_WcMRZQeaW9DuPIuuNchfTamoUwgk69iuZh-zLgbemjlkP3Tg/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06969" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I ran a bunch of errands on my lunch break so I had to get something quick.
