And it continues

Just finished a late workout. My abs are so sore already. Yesterday I went for a bike ride in lieu of my normal workout. I just got this bike over the weekend and I am still adjusting it. One of the major issues right now with it is the fact that the seat is way too low. I can't get a proper extension. As a result of not knowing this, I ended up injuring my knee again. I smell like icy hot.

I don't know how this happened but magically I've put on ten pounds. I'm not sure if it's muscle or what, but it's there and it's making me upset. I feel like I need to double my efforts again... I'll figure it out.

Today's meals:
Breakfast ~ 1 Kashi whole grain blueberry waffle with black raspberry preserves instead of syrup.
Lunch ~ Turkey and cheddar on whole grain with mustard and lettuce, pickle on side
Snack 1 ~ Peanut butter smoothie (recipe to follow)
Dinner ~ Broccoli and Feta omelet, slice of toast with jam
Snack 2 ~ Pear smoothie (recipe to follow)

All in all, a fairly good day. Still have to weigh myself eventually... I'm dreading it...

Recipes:

Peanut butter smoothie
I got the idea from Aleah Olemann, a friend of mine from high school. I'm not sure what her recipe is, but this is mine.
1/4 cup creamy honey peanut butter
1 scoop protein powder (I use Vi-Shake)
1 cup rice milk
3-4 ice cubes

Blend all ingredients together. I've also thought about adding chocolate to this...

Pear Smoothie
This one just came to me and is a little bit more complex than my other smoothies. It can be done with sweet apples as well.
1 medium over-ripe pear, pealed, cubed
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt (try not to substitute on this one)
1 cup rice milk
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
3-4 ice cubes
Sugar to taste

Blend pear cubes with a little water until a puree forms. Add yogurt, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ice cubes, blending until smooth. Add sugar until slightly sweet. You should only need a pinch or two.
