2 Fruit Smoothie – Peach Banana

February 8, 2016 / Joseph / 0 Comments

Peach Banana Smoothie

.. Okay as you can tell from the photo above I was too lazy to slice and bag the bananas and peaches this go around.

2 cups of Apple Juice

1 tablespoon of Greek Nonfat Yogurt

1 cup of sliced Peach

1 cup of sliced Banana

So I decided to continue with the banana theme because my previous blend was pretty dam good.

Buttttt I have to be honest this mixture did not come out as well as I anticipated.
Even though I added a cup of each fruit the taste of banana overpowered the peaches.

I’m gonna give this blend another try. I’m hoping if I reduce the amount of bananas then this blend could possibly come out a bit better.

Banana Pineapple Smoothie

2 cups of Apple Juice

1 tablespoon of Greek Nonfat Yogurt

1 cup of sliced Banana

1 cup of sliced Pineapple

.. Okay this one was delicious. I really enjoyed this blend. I have a few things I need to point out regarding the photos above.

1.) My girlfriend bought this pink sandwich bags so you really can’t seen the diced pineapples. That’s way I’ve added the Doles original packaging in the photo.

2.) The container of Greek Nonfat Yogurt is missing from the photo. It’s added to the blend I just forgot to add it to the photo.

2016 Goals – Hoping to run my 1st 5K

January 26, 2016 / Joseph / 0 Comments

One of my goals for 2016 was to run and complete a 5K. For some I’m sure running a 5K is no big deal. But for me this is a bit of a challenge considering I have been sitting behind a desk for the past 4 years.

I officially started working towards this goal last week. What I mean by officially is that I’ve been going to the gym pretty much ever day since the beginning of the month. It wasn’t until last week when I decided to draw a line in the sand and said okay I’m doing this.

Based on a recommendation from my previous boss I downloaded the Couch to 5K app. A mobile app that helps beginner prepare for their 1st 5K. (I downloaded the free C25K app. I guess there are multiple versions in the app store)

So far and granted that I’ve only completed my first week I think this app is pretty awesome. In my opinion the app was like having a personal trainer with you during your runs. For me this is great. Most of the time my mind drifts off so the Run and Walk notifications helps a ton.

The Couch to 5K program goes on for 9 weeks. So hopefully if everything goes well I should be done somewhere around the middle of March. Which on another hand would be great because the cold weather should finally be coming to a end.

I’m starting week 2 today so wish me luck. I will post a status update next week around this time.
