For The LOVE of FIBER and PROTEIN....

Motivation of the Day:  Wherever You Are….Move To Get There
My Personality....Fun!!!
I am a say it like it is person and trainer, in a good way of course. Loving fiber is so important with my daily intake of lean proteins. Going straight to it….if I don’t eat fiber daily & consume only protein…things just are not going to come out the way it should…YIKES. TMI, but really, it is the truth and I do go there with myself, clients & anyone else who wants to talk about the subject. It is just not right not to enjoy the tastes and textures of fiber….so, I partake daily. Did I tell you that I LOVE prune juice…with pulp, not from concentrate...YEP YEP YEP…and I even use some in my protein shakes every day. My body loves me for it….and I love the way eating all the fabulous nutrients makes me feel. My muscles are happy, my colon is happy, and every part of my physique is enjoying being well -fed with the premium stuff placed in my tank. Fiber that I have on hand everyday: oats, fruits, nuts, veggies, beans, & grains. I cook all my food from the raw stage, stay away from processed food stuff & limit my canned items to low sodium beans that I happily rinse through a colander to remove all salt. Lean proteins I have on hand everyday: b/s chicken breast, solid white albacore tuna (I do buy this canned), variety fresh fish, whey protein powder, yogurt, and lots of eggs! I do eat a balance of lean proteins & fiber for each meal and I drink water like a fish. Is there such a word as fiberlicious….it sure sounds good to me;)



My Nutrition for Today:


TIP: I may have the same things during the week as they are pre-prepared and ready to go


1 Cup of Coffee (do not count this as a meal) 
1-Breakfast Protein Shake

My Workout for Today: still not feeling like quite the powerhouse, a bit tired, so I completed what my body dictated & what I had time to complete in between my client schedule….I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED!


20 Minute ARC Trainer Interval


Repeated each set 4x

Stay Healthy Chocolate Whey Pudding
As Requested, the Protein Pudding Recipe:

Chocolate Whey Peanut Butter Banana Pudding for Dessert!!!! Make in 2 MINUTES! 1/2 very ripe small banana-smash until smooth, add 2 tblsp peanut butter & keep mixing, add the protein powder..keep stirring. Add a splash of light choc soy milk, n/f or l/f milk to pudding consistency. Eat immediately or put in the refrigerator for a cool dessert for that before bed muscle recovery time


I do this option as well:


Option: omit banana, add 1 tbsp s/f f/f chocolate instant pudding mix, reduce peanut butter to 1 tbsp, increase the soy milk to ½ cup, follow the stir directions as listed, and put in the refrigerator for at least an hour before consuming


Stay Healthy!
