Today is going to be a bit crazy

This morning I woke up feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the things that I have to do today. My wife got into a car accident last night so I am tasked with taking the van into the insurance company for their adjuster to give us an estimate. Now that I am sitting here typing this, I am realizing that I shouldn't have to make any effort to get the van fixed, they should have to come to my house right? It wasn't Katy's fault, so why should we have to jump through hoops?

Well here it is 9:30 am and I have an appt at 11am about 20 minutes from here to get the van looked at. I then have to feed the kids between the time the van is done being looked at and 12:40 when they have to be to school, then I rush to the Gym to meet my personal trainer for my 1:00 session. Right when the session is over, I go home and shower quickly and make it back to pick up the kids just in time for school to get out.

This kind of day is all it used to take to get me to make an excuse to not follow through with my fitness and health plans for the day. Not anymore! Every step is a choice.

This morning I was a bit bothered that we ran out of carrots and haven't made it to the store to buy more, but I was not about to let that be the reason that I didn't make my smoothies this morning, I just used more celery. The taste of celery juice is very strong, but by having the freshly juiced orange in the juice, the celery taste is pretty well masked.

I have a goal to lose 3 pounds this week, no more 1-2 pound weeks! Who is going to join me?

I have had dozens of people ask me what I put in my smoothies so I put together a video to show the whole process. It is a bit modified due to the fact that I didn't have carrots, but you get the point!
