Green Smoothie Challenge - Day 5!

Good Evening everyone!
We have made it one more day! It's been a long day, but this is about how it went: We got up at 3 o'clock this morning. Jake had a lot of work today so we went to bed early and got up early. I was a bit too tired so I did go back to sleep again til about 4:30. I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes and it was great! I sure love riding. I can't wait til it warms up a bit so we can ride outside! I made a smoothie this morning from bananas, frozen mixed berries, and chard. It was delicious! I drank about 40 ounces and had a banana to go along side it. For lunch, I did have a salad. Then for snack I had a blood orange (best oranges on the planet - I highly recommend) and a banana. Tonight my sister in law came over and I made an interesting smoothie for us. I had some fruit salad left over from Jake's lunch today (pineapple, apple, blood orange, pomegranate arils, and grapefruit). I put that in the blender with some water and chard. It was so delicious! It's so fun to experiment! And if it's not quite sweet enough, you can always add more fruit.
I hope you all are doing well. This has been a good week so far. Even though I didn't stick with JUST green smoothies for the week, I feel great, I've lost a couple pounds, and my workout schedule has gone well. A few of you are up for another week of a green smoothie challenge and I too am ready for another week also! I think it will be a little different than this week, but I'm still trying to decide on what I want to do. I'll let you know on Saturday what I'll be doing next week. If you are getting sick of my emails, just let me know and I'll take you off the email list. I don't want to annoy anyone. And I won't be offended if you don't want to get my emails anymore! It would be great to have you all come along for another week of green smoothies!
I hope your week has gone well. It'd be great to hear how you all are doing. Have a good night!
