Its spring semester and that means spring break is coming up! I have been constantly hearing Zac Brown and Jimmy Buffett songs in my head as I count down the days (26 days btw!!),
"I got my ass in a lawn chair toes in the sand
not a worry in the world a cold beer in my hand
life is good today! life is good!"
Needless to say there is very little about spring break that I am not eagerly anticipating that is except bathing suit season.
Everyone know that staying fit is difficult especially as a college student when its so much easier to just stay in bed or go out for a beer instead of hitting the gym. Lord knows I am the queen of procrastinating working out! I get these kicks of determination to get fit or run a marathon or lose 5 pounds etc then something else always wins (see pictures below...they describe me perfectly!!)
Typically procrastination of working out on my part, I put off taking my PE credit until my final semester at UGA. At first I thought about taking walking or bowling and taking it easy but I decided that if I was going to be forced to go to the gym for class credit I might as well make it worth my while so I went with spinning. I used to do spinning in high school when I was playing competitive soccer so I thought that it would take a little catching up but it would come back to me eventually (kind of like riding a bike? PUNNY I KNOW). Well a month and a half in and I am still sore after every single class but it feels great! After these workouts or in the morning I like to make one of these smoothies and they totally fill me up and are very refreshing.
Monster Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 banana sliced in half
- 5 or 6 strawberries
- several slices of frozen peaches
- handful of blueberries
- heaping handful of spinach
- splash of vanilla soy milk
- honey
- 2 spoonfuls of yogurt
They are going to come out brownish greenish (gross!) but just go with it I promise they taste delicious!
These smoothies are a great way to not consume as many calories while still getting tons of vitamins etc from the fruit and veggies!
Bonus:
Are there any drink options? Smoothies for when your woozies #verymk
