Happy New Year!

I have really been horrible about keeping our blog updated, so I am trying to start off 2013 with a new slate!

Over the last year I have tried to get into a better routine of exercising and logging my food. I did really well and managed to log 200+ days and right before Christmas decided to take a break from food logging. I did keep up with my fitness during this time. I am back at it and it feels good to be logging again. It was almost as though I was having withdrawals from not logging.

I am always looking for ways to cut calories but still enjoy the things I like. I drink protein shakes a couple times a week and typically make them with non-fat milk and protein powder. I know a lot of people use just water but it doesn't seem to work for me. My normal shake I would make with chocolate protein powder, chocolate PB2 and non-fat milk was 224 calories. I discovered Silk Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk. It is only 30 calories for 1 cup. I bought some yesterday and tried it in my shake today. OMG........I absolutely loved it and it saved my 56 calories.
