So I have recently started taking protien to help with my fitness goals. I bought chocolate and vanilla and to be honest, it tastes horrible mixed with just water! So I have tried a few other remedies and viola...they taste delightful! Here are a few of my most recent concoctions:
Ambed with Energy
-1 scoop chocolate protein powder
-1 cup almond milk
-1 cup fresh brewed coffee (I used Folgers)
-crushed ice
--mix together in a blender bottle
This shake gives you the engery and protein you need to get through the day!
Mango Tango
-1/2 cup almond milk
-1/2 cup mango smoothie V8 juice
-1/4 cup orange juice
-1 scoop vanilla protein powder
-handful of frozen cut mangos
-handful of frozen sliced peaches
-crushed ice
--mix together in a blender, may need to play around with the amount of liquid added
The Quick Recovery
-8 to 10 oz. almond milk
-1 scoop chocolate protein
--blend together using your blender bottle. Great for post-workout recovery for those exhausted muscles!
I will have to play around with some more recipes and find some tastey ways to enjoy getting that protein we all need for our fitness goals and weightloss journeys!
--know your limitations, then defy them

And the winner is...
Weekend PT Scores
30 pushups
72 situps
16:39 2 mile run
I was slacking on the pushups but the other 2 were so close! I need to do 9 more pushups, 1 more situp, and lose 3 seconds off my 2 mile to achieve my 90% goal!
I got back into the gym today with my trainer. Good workout for sure, we focused on upperbody/arm strengthening! Looking forward to more workouts to come, hopefully a brazillian booty workout here and there too!
I also invested in some more protien powder and women's vitamins. Hoping this well help me build muscle and of course be an overall plus to becoming healthier and fit!
Aside from my fitness dreams, everything else has been doing well. I was just offered a permanent position at the hospital in the ER! I am so excited to have set hours! Briahna is still busy with school and hockey. She will be in dance again which starts back up in February! She continues to amaze me every day! Who knew that this 5 1/2 year old could read, write, sing, dance, skate, run, jump, skip, play, talk, and all the above with so much grace and determination to do more! Love her to pieces!
I am currently considering going active Army and purchasing a home. However, it's a little disheartening when I don't have the support I thought I would have. But on that note, I have realized that people are going to hate what I do no matter what, so at this point in my life, I really need to do those things for myself and Briahna.
Current dream location: Colorado Springs, CO and Fort Carson, CO!
I have done some research and I am pretty much in love! Good housing, huge job market, beautiful view of the mountains, and just an overall good vibe.
