Tonight’s Workout, My Obsession of the Week and Morning Smoothie

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!
 
Last night I finally got back on the treadmill. Like I had mentioned I kind of slacked off with my running during the Holidays. So I decided to start back slow and just jog a mile. When I started I was pretty nervous but as I kept going I remembered why I really do love to run. It is such a stress reliever. I am glad I am back to it! Here is my workout for tonight. ( I am keeping my running this week at just 1 mile)
 
 
Now to my obsession of the week!
 
Whoever came up with yogurt dressing is just brilliant. I was nervous that they would taste like most low fat dressing but they taste like the real deal and ONLY have 45 calories.

 
As you can see I enjoyed the new ranch dressing on my salad with my dinner.
I had spag squash with low sugar marinara and ground turkey. The salad of course was my favorite part. I think I was a rabbit in a past life.

 
Now to my morning smoothie. I sure have missed these. I'm not really sure why I haven't made them lately, maybe because it is FREEZING outside. But this week it hasn't been bad so I have been whipping up some yummy smoothies.
 
Here is this mornings.
 
What you will need
handful of spinach
1 kiwi
2 1/2 pieces unsweetened pineapple
1/2 of a lemon (juice)
1 banana
1 cup of light vanilla almond milk
ice
 
 
It hit the spot! I can't wait to come up with new ones! I will definitely be sharing these more often!
