Smoothie Heaven

OK, I've been achy since Monday with the flu or something like that so I enticed myself to go into work yesterday by promising I could have a smoothy for breakfast. The only place near the office I could think of was Potbelly's. Do YOU know how many calories they have?? 481 calories for a 16 oz strawberry smoothy. I suddenly wasn't feeling any better by this indulgence, even though I was upping my weak calcium intake significantly. AND I asked them to use skim milk ...

Lunch turned out to be a bit bluer ... but only because I stumbled upon Robeks and their "Bansai Blueberry" which is a concoction of fresh squeezed orange juice, blueberries, strawberries and then some raspberry sherbert. Final ingredients are non-fat yogurt and ice. I also opted for a "booster" of "vitabek" which provided me with 25 vitamins and minerals (and in mind, will help me speed to a non-flu status ASAP). All this yumminess- for less than 300 calories. I'm definitely going back!

Needless to say, I didn't quite meet my target # of steps (fell short at 7500) or activity (only 51 minutes). With conservative reporting, though, I did maintain my calorie deficit. I need a good result at the end of this week ...
