"Keeping on Track" with VEGA Energizing Smoothies

Have you ever tried a new product and been so surprised about the quality....for the price?

That's how I felt last year when I made my first VEGA Energizing smoothie.
Since last Sunday, I've been committed to eating better and losing about 20 lbs. that snuck back onto my hips and waist over this past winter.  See more here - "Getting Back On Track" 

For even more convenience
make up a few batches and freeze them. 
Then they are literally grab n go!












Picked out my 'Keeping On Track" goal pants to fit into by July:

















My alarm goes off 5 days a week about 4:30 am. Well, Floydy wakes us up at 4:15 by clawing the sheets
and 'MEOWING'!! 
It's a whole system he and the other cat have worked out to get fed when the birds outside wake up.
Anyway.
At 5am, when I'm trying to get out the door to work, I'm not in the mood to take 6 or 7 different items out of the freezer to make a good smoothie for breakfast.  I just want to grab and go.  VEGA helps me make this happen and still get a great tasting drink with tons of nutrition. 








VEGA has so much to brag about and with good reason.  Their plant based products are so delicious and even more importantly, full of nutrition, easy to prepare and reasonably priced. 
Check out just some of the response to VEGA products, more info at their site:

VEGA products are all plant based, organic and full of wonderful flavors.

My favorite for now is Tropical Tango.........mix in a frozen banana, a little ground flax seed and you have a creamy frozen treat that's guilt free, convenient and so delicious.  Give them a try!

Omnium-Gatherum - May 2012

Summing up my month so far:

I saw a baby Praying Mantis looking for lunch while I was eating mine in Winchester VA.

I found out that Biscoff Spread is the tastiest stuff I've eaten in a long time:
A much quicker treat than cupcakes is just to spread it on a couple Granny Smith Apple slices.
Picked up stuff for work at Union Station in DC.
Snatched a picture of Mr. Butterfly spreading the pollen around in Kensington, MD

I made my first, and definitely not my last
batch of homemade brown sugar.

Got lucky with my first Watermelon of the Summer and found a really sweet one! More details on a great Popsicle recipe with the rest of the Mellon coming up this month...............

 
Watched a few seconds of sunrise over Damascus, MD


Took a quick walk on Mother's Day to enjoy all the beautiful flowers out right now before
I drove down to see my Mom.
I took a walk around a Revolutionary War Memorial in Harper's Ferry WV











                                                                         Helped Floydy celebrate his 7th Birthday.......................
Found this beautiful little teapot at an Antique Shop downtown for just $5.

I created a Canned Time website at iHerb to get my readers $5 off on their first orders
And today after I finished my work, I walked around some Antique Shops in an Old restored historical area south of DC called Occoquan and didn't buy a single thing!   Yea......
But I did get some great pics........for free.

The good news is I only have 4 more days of work today and I'll have 7 days off to rest and cook and whatever else suits my time.  Maybe not getting up at 4 am for a start, can't wait!

Anyone have anything different or fun going on in their life right now?
Anyone have time off coming up?  What time do you have to get up for work?
