thanks Kim that does sound yummy I love pumpkin
I don;t worry too much about the calories I am totally focused on the nutrition part and sometimes get too many calories then go low the next few days .
Just finnished Planting my flower bed should look fabulous in a few weeks Looks new right now with plenty of space between the plants ..
So kim have you seen any of the weight of the nation documentories on HBO or online?
I have been watching them one a day some are only 20 minutes some 30 and some over an hour .
I have been busy planning my excape to Michigan for 2 weeks I am not sure why so many others are missing ...
Hugs Judy:)

Been wondering about the "missing links" also. Looks like Marybeth is MIA, Norma (but she warned us) hope she's got that business going, Amber is moving this weekend so she'll prolly be MIA for a few days yet..... lol. Lonely isn't it?
So quiet I can almost hear the crickets chirping....... O.o
Anyhow, yes I've watched one, want to tune in for another episode today. Been trying to catch up on my reading. I hate when I borrow books from the library then not take time to read them.
I've been walking my mile , this morning a little over , every morning now. Also trying to get in a 4 block (8 block round trip) walk every other evening.

I wanted to say, be prepared for this recipe though. It is very filling. I drank it around 9 am and didn't get hungry for lunch till about 2 pm. I don't know what about it is so filling... maybe its just satisfying, but this one is ATM being shared with my sons and my sister in Michigan. I hope they all try it, it's really very good and a real quick breakfast drink (or a super good idea for one of our snax)

I was wondering what the heck was going on with the WebMD browser..thought it was maybe just my computer. Mine's doing a slow dance loading too. It sux mightily esp. when im in a hurry.
LOL a blender... My sister gave me a Magic Bullet thing about 10 years ago for Christmas, I have used that thing to death. It's perfect for these smoothies because my boyfriend doesn't like em and it's just the right size for one very scrumptious personnal smoothie. Yes , I'm doing that to tease your taste buds till you get something to make one with, wicked, wicked me

Hi Kim I recently learned if you have a lot of things on your desktop of your computer it slows it down on loading
I recently bought a new computer and it is great but I put my old one in the family room but lightened it up by removeing old programs and getting rid of the shortcut on the desktop and it is working better so maybe the computetr needs some uncluttering . to become lean like we are doing to our bodies

I wish that was the problem. Mine's just old..... Where most have now got at least 4 megs of memory, mine is still 567kb. Its a teeny gateway laptop that I love like a child though. It's actually so worn that I no longer have the "n" on my n button, my "m" is now half gone too, and i actually have "palm wear" where the paint is gone where my hands rest on the face of it , lol...... a truly loved and used machine. We have others. In fact we have 2 other laptops plus my boyfriends desktop, but I still use this one and probably will till the poor thing dies on me. At which time, I will remove its batteries and bury the poor thing in the backyard with a few words to the laptop gods to take care of my old friend .

SMOOTHIE UPDATE:
tonight I was a bit low on my calories , we avoided the heat today and took a very LOOOOONG siesta, lol.
I decided to boost my pumpkin smoothie with 1Tblsp of creamy peanut butter and a handful of raw baby spinach leaves. Rest of recipe the same.
Magic bulleted the heck out of it, so that I wouldn't have to face trying to drink spinach leaf flakes, which I decided would be rather cringeworthy..... I like my smoothies SMOOTH no chunks, no grit, no seeds,,,,, smoooth.
It was green, but it was good. The peanut butter really came through on the taste in this and made it extra rich. So this can be used as a tried and true trustworthy recipe alternative from my kitchen to yours with love .... MUAH

I'm not a smoothie drinker myself, but I can see the merits of yours. By adding the spinach leaves, you also boosted your fiber intake quite a bit, with minimum added calories.
