shakes
breakfast and cooler for the day

Read Morecoffee protein latte
So I saw this idea on a forum board a few weeks ago and then two readers reminded me of it on our facebook and today was the perfect day to try it out. I am in law journal training all day and I was rushing to get out of the house this morning so I made a coffee, protein latte. 1 scoop protein powder 1 iced brew of Caribou on my Keurig (about 1/4-1/2 cup) 1/2 cup crushed ice splash of almond milk dash of cinnamon This turned out much frothier than usual making it just like a blended latte, as opposed to a “shake”. And my cooler for today: Apple with almonds Chicken, avocado, bell peppers, tomato 2 banana nut protein muffins Leftover steak,...
Read Morewatermelon in the summer
I love watermelon. It was my favorite fruit in summer as a kid and still is. Today after my workout I wanted to use the last the we had in the fridge so I made a watermelon/banana protein shake and some egg whites with onion and bell peppers. For the shake I did my normal: 1 scoop pp 1/2 cup crushed ice 1/2 cup almond milk and added: 1/2 banana 3/4 cup cubed watermelon I forgot to compensate for how much liquid the watermelon holds so it was more of a “drink” than a “shake” but still perfect for the hot...
Read Morelow-carb protein "crepes"
Today I made protein “crepes” for breakfast. It is basically the same recipe as my low-carb protein pancakes I have been making but with more almond milk. I mixed:1 scoop PP1 tbsp ground flaxseed3-4 tbsp almond milk (unsweetened) Add enough almond milk that the conistancy is more liquid than a pancake would be. I poured it into a larger pan than normal and cooked it on medium for about 3 minutes. Then I topped it with 1 tbsp unsweetened almond butter and 1/2 banana and fold over. Yummy!! The almond butter melted because I put it on when the pan was still hot so it was the perfect combination of a cold banana and warm butter....
Read Morequick update and shakes all day
So Blogger has been down and I have some catching up to do. I think I will do this in two separate posts because otherwise it will be one long one. First, I am officially done with my first year of law school!! This is just amazing because I survived it without (literally) having a breakdown. Finals were hard but I managed to keep the balance I had between school and healthy living probably 95% of the time. I kept up with all my workouts and only stress ate pounds of sugar once or twice – which is a HUGE improvement from last semester. Hopefully my grades will reflect that when I get them in a few weeks. So the Fatkid is eating low...

Ex nobis pendet felicitas ~ “happiness depends upon ourselves” – Aristotle. Love this.

I tried Hake tonight instead of tilapia, just baked in lemon and grapefruit juice…have to say I don’t like it nearly as much as tilapia – bummer. back to...
Read Moregreen protein smoothie
One final down, three to go…this is my break from studying. A few random things….I discovered last time I made an oatmeal bake and forgot to share that a great way to keep it from getting dry during the week is to store it in a large plastic bag with a paper towel in it when you first put it in the fridge. That way as the bake cools the paper absorbs the moisture and keeps the bake soft without it getting the condensation on it directly. I also tried some new ab exercises from this guy on simply shredded I have to say I am of fan of how he explains which moves properly work the muscles and which ones are less efficient. How To Workout Your Lower Abs from...
Read Moresexy shoulders and arms
Day 26I started my morning out with 20 minutes of high intensity internal cardio on the elliptical and then was studying all day. For a brain break, this afternoon Kate and I did our new shoulder/tricep workout. By the second to last super set my arms were failing. I only did 8 reps on the last tricep exercise but I know our arms are going to be killer for tank tops I reeeealy wanted another apple bake when I got home but since I had it for breakfast I decided to make a smoothie. Ingredients: 1 cup crushed ice1 cup fat free milk1 tbsp all natural (no sugar) almond butter1 scoop vanilla whey protein1 tbsp ground flaxseed1 cup frozen mixed berries Blend and sip...
