Thank Goodness For My Girlfriends!

Just want to say thank you to all my female friends and family members! I love you all! After watching a couple episodes of Housewives of Beverly Hills....
I realize this is a reality show...and maybe its staged, maybe its not, I really have no idea. I watched it out of curiosity and boredom. OMG! NEVER in a million years would anyone I know treat me the way they treat each other! It is crazy, disgusting, and very sad. So, just had to say thank you and thank God for all the girls in my life, I am one lucky girl! I truly have the classiest, smartest, most loving bunch of women I can call friends. Yippee!!!!

Okay Dr. Oz...Top This Shake!

Okay, since the beginning of the year I have been trying to live a "Dr. OZ" life. Actually following many of the things he recommends for a healthy life.
He recommends eating yogurt daily...I don't like yogurt. So I put it in a protein shake in the morning for breakfast-delicious! I add berries, and flax seed, all Dr. Oz recommendations. It is yummy and a great way to start the day.
If your interested (I make this in my bullet blender).
1/2 cup ice
1/2 cup water
1 berry yoplait light
1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
1 emergen-C packet (raspberry flavor)
1/2 scoop protein powder (I use spirotein/strawberry flavor)
1 tbs. flax-seed
1/2 tsp. bone meal (powder/for calcium)
This totals only 210 calories! If you add juice or a banana you have to adjust the calories. I find that the flavored emergen-C is only 25 calories and adds the flavor of juice, juice can be up to 200 calories!
Enjoy!
