Pretty Shakeology Shake!

/in , , , /by

Did I make this pretty or what ?!

I ate too much so far today & have had ZERO time to workout yet. This has been a busy & stressful day. Some forget to eat on days like this– but I have never been one to *forget to eat* or be too stressed to eat; quite the opposite for this girl! I’ve always been one to eat if I’m stressed, bored, happy, or sad. I eat healthy, I just sometimes graze nonstop. But I never give up on trying to develop better habits

superfood smoothieSo this is what I do to bring it under control. A superfood smoothie & lots of water!

It filled this jar twice!

RECIPE:
1.5 cups ice
1 cup Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 cup water
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
1/2 half banana
1/4 cup blueberries
Add honey, agave or stevia if you like it sweeter
BLEND WELL

What workout did you fit in today?

I fit in a quick 2.5 mile run & jump rope intervals before my son’s Lacrosse game & I have my shakeology to drink on the way. I’ll have to go sweaty but I’m glad I did it. Thanks for the new leggings Chalene Johnson!

10 Tips

/in , , , /by

What person, comment or incident got you into working out and/or eating better?? What advice would you give someone just starting out??
***Here are 10 tips that helped me stick to it:
1. After eating a small meal, get out of the kitchen. Your body needs time to digest & realize it’s been fed!
2. Continually work to drink more water
3. Have a ballpark awareness of calories and macro’s MY particular body needs to gain muscle yet still burn fat (this took trial & error)
4. With your eating & workout weaknesses, aim for progress each day, not perfection
5. Ignoring the scale & paying attention to how I look and feel; how i’m performing in my workouts and the new habits i’m forming.
6. Becoming a Coach and making fitness & health my career
7. Transitioning the family to healthier options so I wasn’t alone
8. Curbing snacking/splurges (shakeology)
9. Doing workouts with variety and workouts I enjoy!
..and 10

Butter Banana

/in , , /by

Butter BananaMy FAVORITE post-lifting shake…

  • Butter Banana
  • 2 cups ice
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk
  • 1 scoop *Vanilla* Shakeology (TurboSister .com or YOUR Coach)
  • 1/2 scoop *Chocolate* Shakeology or additional MUSCLE-BLDG protein of your choice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 Banana
  • 2 Tbsp “Just Great Stuff” (crushed organic peanut powder)

~350 calories & at least 27g protein

All sugars & carbs are naturally occurring from fruit & vegetable ‎SuperFoods‬ in Shakeology which you NEED after a workout more than anymore time in your day.

JUST GREAT STUFF: Some stores like Fresh Market, Kroger’s, possibly ‎wholefoods‬ , & Amazon .com sell it or you can get its non-organic equivalent (‎PB2‬) at Target and most grocery stores.

Regular, all-natural Peanut Butter is great too but after a LIFTING sesh, the whey needs to get to those muscles fast and the fat in Peanut Butter (although a healthy fat) slows the delivery. Go ahead with your regular PB if it’s just a shake replacing a meal, or a healthy treat or post-cardio but MEASURE it out as PB is high calorie easy to over-do for some of us (me).

Protein bar or Prime Rib

What would you rather have.. A Protein bar or Prime Rib?

I swear I’d rather have a protein bar any day! I’m at ‪#‎wholefoods‬ with Matt & tempted by my strange obsession with protein bars!! Idk why but I could eat them all day long if it were healthy or acceptable to do so!!

Quest bars have been my recent obsession but I’ve gone over a week without any! ‪#‎progress‬

p.s. I’m not saying ‪#‎QuestBars‬ are a problem, I’m saying my addiction was . I’m hoping BB someday comes out with a bar, minimally processed the way they make Shakeology So many that are DELISH with low sugar have artificial sweeteners, maltitol, OR are just so TINY (like ‪#‎larabars‬ for example).
