This $#!7 is Bananas
I miss banana, I really do. To refresh your memory, I am staying away from fruit that is really high in sugar in order to stabilize my glucose levels. I won’t lie, it’s hard. I did have half a banana in my smoothie today and it was SOOOOO good.
But first, for full accountability, I did end up having half a cantaloupe last night while watching the best episode of Survivor EVER.
I probably should have JUST had that and not the oat/chocolate thing I made because I was craving refreshing sweetness and instead that oat thing was more heavy sweetness. This cantaloupe was REALLY good.
Last night I got everything ready for the gym in the morning but when my alarm went off I was so discombobulated that I hit snooze twice and fell back asleep. So much for that plan. 7 hours is not enough sleep anymore and if I’m going to be getting up at 5:30, then I need to be asleep by 9:30. That’s hard.
This morning, I made the half a banana smoothie:
In that bad boy:
-1 cup homemade almond milk
-1 scoop Mediclear protein powder
-1/2 small banana
-6 frozen strawberries
-~2 cups spinach
-2 TBSP ground flax
-1 tsp honey
The banana made all the difference! Have I mentioned how much I want a Viatmix? Yes, I REALLY want one. But $400 on an appliance just isn’t in the budget right now 🙁
Oh and I saw my doctor yesterday-NO Hashimotos! YAY!!!!! I do have hypothyroidism and I am now taking some thyroid to help with it. Let’s hope this is what I need to be 100%!

I would love to live a more local lifestyle, but I could never give up bananas (or avocados!).
Do you have an Amex card? I use it for EVERYTHING (groceries, bills, shopping etc) and obviously pay it off right away. Anyway, it builds points that you can use to buy things- I used my points to buy my camera and my Vitamix. both worthy expenses if you don’t have enough points you can just use what you have and pay the rest in cash! Save up lady, it is WORTH it!
Happy Friday!
Oh, we somehow didn’t cover the “no hashimotos” thing. YAAY!
