Shake It Up Baby!!!

Motivation of the Day: Nothing Tastes Better Than Healthy Feels

Nothing Feels Better than Staying Healthy!

I have just finished my morning workout, jumped into the kitchen and made a post workout shake and video. I absolutely love my post workout shake…WHY…because it is my heavier shake full of fabulous nutrients like whey protein, fiber, yogurt, nuts, and fruit…OH SO SHAKE GOOD. My body is definitely ready for this powerhouse after my workouts & it is a fast way to supply my muscles with the much needed fuel that my workout depletes. I get an instant satisfaction drinking my post shake and it keeps me going for the next 2 ½ hours when I WILL be eating another healthy meal. Did I tell you I LOVE to EAT….YES YES YES….but I am stressing this over and over because it truly is a HUGE part of what keeps me looking the way I do. The shake may start my day, but believe me, I will be eating another 5 meals before this day is done;) In my refrigerator is already prepared chicken breast, spiced brown rice, steel cut oatmeal, and I always have veggies, fruits and raw nuts on hand. It is important to know that by eating, your metabolism is in the “ON” mode and burning calories efficiently. I ensure that my body is always fed and my metabolism is always turned on….I feel great throughout the day, never hungry, always satisfied, and full of energy. I never want to allow my engine to be turned off…YUCK…no calorie burn, let’s keep the fat in storage, low sugar levels which means cranky & no energy, sluggish, headache, and just an overall “POOH” feeling when healthy foods are not eaten throughout the day. This girl will enjoy my shakes, my foods, and be able to conquer my workouts and everyday tasks….and I am not kidding when I say…that it makes me FEEL GOOD to EAT STAY HEALTHY FOOD. So….is it difficult to live like this…NO…it feels too good not to. Have a fabulous Stay Healthy Tuesday!

Motivation for Today: Using Lack of Time as an Excuse IS NOT AN OPTION

After My WOD...almost 47...Whoop Whoop

Wow...did I just give that motivation today....Yes I did.  I have so much to write about and today I am full of energy, ideas, and goals that I want to achieve.  I multi-tasked this morning and put together a video during my workout which I am sharing on this Blog.  This morning started out fabulous having extra time with my hubby...we enjoy working out together as much as possible, but just like everybody else, schedules do not always permit.  One thing about me is that I make time for "ME"...bluntly...I am not a hypocrite and believe I MUST walk the talk of what I teach.  That is why I am showing through my Blog what I do to maintain ME.  I get such a rush from how being healthy makes me feel.  I was just thinking that in a few weeks I will be 47...the number blows my mind, but I think it does due to how fast the time has gone.  Truly, I feel 20 something except when my neck flares up...then I may feel a bit older.  I call myself the bionic woman with the hardware that has put me back together...lol.  OK...last night I went crazy putting together different flavored protein balls....I intended to create my usual...but then my creative juices started flowing and I can always use a quick pick me up snack throughout the day.  I have posted the picture below.  The flavors: Oatmeal Raisin Vanilla Whey, Chocolate Covered Raisin Whey, Maple Cinnamon Whey, & Chocolate Whey Walnut Brownie.  I rolled some in a cinnamon flax meal coating.  I am really having fun with this product.  Speaking of time flying, I need to run get ready for my afternoon clients;)
