PEAR GINGER SMOOTHIE

Today definitely feels like a Monday. Ever since Christmas Eve my husband has been off of work which meant I really slacked off on the work I should have been doing and of course it’s come back to bite me in the butt. Instead of working on recipes and blog posts like I probably should have been, I spent a lot of time laying around watching movies, shopping, starting a massive painting project on the house, drinking coffee and tea and eating junk I shouldn’t have. When your spouse who rarely takes any time off of work has an entire week off, you take advantage of it, even if it means this week is going to be insanely busy.

Luckily keeping busy will help me stop my mindless junk food eating that I’ve been helping myself to ever since Christmas. When I’m bored or just laying around being lazy I tend to occupy my time by shoveling food into my mouth. In this case it was the remaining Christmas candy, cookies and New Year’s Eve crap which I am so thankful is gone now…most of it disappeared into my stomach and thighs. I have no one to blame, but myself. It was fun while it lasted, but I’m over it and it’s time to get back on track! I’m starting my road back to healthy eating with this awesome Pear Ginger Smoothie.
