It’s 2016!!!! Happy New Year!!!
Well, like most of you, I indulged a little too much over the holidays and am going to hit it hard with healthy foods for 2016.
For me, this year, it’s not about my weight or the number I see on the scale. . . in fact, I haven’t even weighed myself in a few weeks, which is crazy for me. I religiously weighed myself every morning in 2015.
It’s not about the number on the scale but how I am feeling, how much energy I have, what my skin looks like and how my clothes are fitting.
Whenever I read about real life 
Simple Green Smoothies!!!
I love that they are friends and encouraged each other and inspired their friends and family. They changed their lifestyles and are just wanting to help more people get healthy and fall in love with smoothies and greens. I love this book so much and it couldn’t have come to me at a better time. It’s the start of 2016, a new year, a year full of possibilities (this year will be what you make it!), full of hope, challenges/goals and, for me, feeling better and being more active.
I loved this book SO much that I bought two copies for my friends, Jayne and Laura. We run together and are meeting on Friday to map out the year, which races we are going to do and we know that you can’t get healthy just by exercise alone. You also need to watch what you eat, because unfortunately you cannot just eat what you want all the time. It will catch up to you eventually and, don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking drastic changes and cutting out all sorts of things.
I’m talking about making better choices. Still eating

My Superfood Smoothie Bowl isn’t green in color but does have plenty of leafy greens. I also added frozen berries, which we love, so that’s why my smoothie bowl looks like this.
So, whether you’re pouring this into a glass or a bowl, it’s all the same.
