Post Workout Snack Time

Who doesn't love apples? Who doesn't love peanut butter?  Together they make my day every day.

A go-to snack for me that's quick is PB&APPLES. I've spiced it up the last couple of days with this awesome recipe:

Sliced Apple
Peanut Butter
Chopped Nuts sprinkled on top

I've also added craisins and sunflower seeds on other days!

This life is real

Let's start at the beginning of the day! 

First I start my day with the Fat Flush (which is in an earlier blog post). I have found that it's a great way to start my mornings. Fiber, protein and energy all in one yummy beverage. 

Then it's onto the shakes. This shake was a mash-up of everything left over in the fridge! Running low, or being completely out of things requires getting creative and hoping that the shake doesn't end up tasting beyond horrible. 

This shake is:
Herbalife Formula 1 Vanilla
Herbalife Raspberry Tea
4 frozen strawberries
4 pieces of pineapple
handful of spinach 
and 1 Tbsp of PB2 



It wasn't my best concoction, but it was drinkable and tolerable. 
The PB2 adds the peanut butter flavor, makes it thicker, but does it without adding all the additional calories. It makes a delightful peanut butter/banana protein shake! 

After my workout (about 45 minutes) I was ready for breakfast. It takes a while for me to calm down enough to feel ready to eat anything. Although my plan calls for full elimination or limited wheat, I had to have something with more substance today! 2 eggs, 1/2 English muffin with natural peanut butter, 1 cup cantaloupe, 1 row of soy mozzarella cheese. It was filling and full of healthy options! 


My workout was the total body circuit from T25, plus 20 minutes of hills. This is the hill that I run (or walk) up and down. The picture doesn't do it justice. In the winter it's used as a sledding hill so it's pretty steep! It's great for working the legs, butt, and cardio!!!! I didn't get much in today on the hill because it started to rain.


Sunday Night Dinner - Oh wow was it delicious! 

Pork Tenderloin, Homemade Potato Salad, and Salad
I only had a few bites of the potato salad, an enormous salad and 3 slices of the Pork. All of it was prepared fresh, nothing from a package! 

If this doesn't make you feel good about yourself you better find some food that does!
