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

Product Review: Nuwave Precision Induction Cooktop 2

Image
      The other day while shopping for school supplies I came across this handy gadget on clearance for $20 bucks!! It normally sells for about $99 in store. With it comes a pan, cookbook and great instruction manual. No learning curve really, it was pretty straight forward coming out of the box. So far I have made chips, fried cheese sticks and pancakes this morning. The recipe for the pancakes was good but I think I can tweak it a bit and make it better. Because it works when the magnetic surface comes in contact with the steel pan the surface does not heat up until the pan is placed on it. If you pans are steel you can use them on the cooktop. It has pre-set temp buttons on the front and keeps the temperature consistent. You can also adjust the temperature yourself in increments of 5 degrees. For example it recommend a temperature of 375 degrees. However, feeling that it maybe too hot I turned the temperature down to 360 and the pancakes were a perfect gol...

Almost that Time of the Year! When the yarn Comes out...

Image
    I have been waiting all summer for the right time to start playing with my yarn. Last fall/winter and part of the spring I was a pretty busy bee on my Ultimate Sweater Machine. If you don't know what it is , it is a home hobby knitting machine. It is easy to assemble and does not need electricity, you put in the muscle. I make some great beanies on it. I can honestly say I have mastered the striped beanie pattern in the book and was comfortable enough to make my own alterations to the pattern. Here are some of the things I was able to do on this machine. These are just a few of what I did on the machine. If you would like a tutorial on how I make them please let me know in the comments. Thanks again and have a great evening. Sandy
