Losing the Baby Weight - 27

It's been a couple months since I last updated you guys on my post pregnancy weightloss. Life has been a little more hectic since going back to work full time. Well, this morning while I was picking out my work clothes in the dark, I pulled out a pair of jeans from my closet and to my surprise they fit and were comfortable. These aren't even stretchy jeans! I'm pretty jazzed about this morning. I'm only a couple of inches away from being able to fit all of my old jeans/trousers/pants now and I have less reservations about investing in new clothes. Woo hoo! Happy friday :)

 

 

Losing the Baby Weight - A Recipe for Sweet and Green Juice

Today I jumped on the juicing band wagon and made my first batch of green juice! The result was surprisingly delicious and I'm feeling proud of myself for winning this little war against the baby weight. Here's the recipe which I found on Healthful Pursuit. Next time, I'm going to cut back on the celery.

Sweet and Green Juice Recipe

Ingredients

1 pear

1 apple

2 cups of spinach

1 bunch of kale

1 celery stalk

1 cucumber
2 cups of water

Update: I added 2 more apples, 1 pear and cut the amount of celery in half. It's DELICIOUS now.

Directions

Wash and then rough chop all ingredients, removing the cores of the apple and pear, and pulverize in blender with water

Strain through cheese cloth 

Drink and enjoy! I recommend drinking it cold.

Note: I blended the mix because I don't have a juicer. If you have a juicer, start with the softer veggies first on the low setting - spinach, kale and cucumber. Turn the setting to high and juice the pear, apple and celery.
