Day 2 ... I'm Feeling it :)

       Day 2 is almost over, but I got a lot done especially considering that my little one has the stomach flu. Today after breakfast ( A new habit for me) I cleaned house while my stomach settled ( not used to eating so early). After I got that done I did some some prep work for my work out. First thing,  got my tools together. For  Start it up I just needed a mat and my resistance band.
Then I got my water and got to work. It was hard going at first because of the soreness in my legs but as I got into it, felt better.


                                                                 Did all three tapes. ( yes tapes!)
Still smiling...out of breath but still good. I also signed up on www.wowy.com to keep track of my workouts and measurements and added encouragement. Now it was time for my post-work meal which was yummy.
Using my Nutribullet I made myself a protein shake that helped my body recover and it was filling, oh and satisfied my sweet tooth.


Peanut Butter Banana Shake
1/2 banana
1 tbsp. natural peanut butter
1 cup. almond milk
1 scoop chocolate slenda-lean or what ever brand of soy protein you like.
ice

Put everything in your bullet cup or the blender and blend until smooth. YUMMY.
Okay that's it for today. Until tomorrow, have a great day. My next post will be about a supplement my hubby and I take to help with cholesterol and high blood pressure.


Thanks,

Sandy

Day 1, Ready to Go!!!

       Okay so here I go first thing I did was get everyone off to school and work. Next I actually had breakfast, I normally don't eat first thing in the morning its usually closer to 11am before I have a bite to eat. This morning I had breakfast by 7:15. For breakfast I had a light pre-workout meal, 2 pieces of whole wheat toast with sunflower seed butter and a smear of sugar-free peach preserves, and of course my cup of coffee. Oh also before I had breakfast I had my serving 1/2cup of canary seed milk. Later I will post about its benefits and how to prepare it. My next step is to get my equipment together and hydrate before I start my workout. If your going to start a workout program make sure you see your doctor and get a full physical, head to toe and blood-work done. I did this last week got my results on Friday, I'm very healthy except for the fact that my BMI says I am OBESE!!! The doctor has actually prescribed diet pills to help me with my over eating. I am an emotio

Its cheaper like most things to make it yourself and you know what is going into it, bonus. This "milk" contains protein, fiber and antioxidants and amino acids. All of these things are great for your body especially when working out. Alpiste offers as much as 10g of protein per serving , which is about 1/2 cup. Another benefit is this enzymatic drink helps control cholesterol and lower high blood pressure. The amazing milk can also detoxify your organs such as your liver and kidneys.
