yesterday and today + Donna - scoop on protein powder

[Guest guest]

Yesterday was the Shamrock Run / Fitness Walk.  Well the walk was more of a shopping mall stroll to be honest, but I still had a good time!  Next year though, I'll be back to running for sure.  Hair is green but it didn't take well so I'll redo it tonite.

In the evening I did Rodney Yee's Yoga Burn with Marina. This morning I got up at 4:00 and did Body Combat 14 (fun, but I like the newer ones better because they are harder and have more kicks, best music in this one though with Duran Duran, Alphaville, INXS to name a few!)  After that I did Weber's upper body blast kettlebell workout.  I love this dvd, what can I say.  I became 's " friend " on Facebook and begged him to make more dvd's but haven't heard back..

Donna - Darcy and I both use Optimum Nutrition's brand protein powder.  I like it because it has very low fat and carbs.  One scoop of Double Rich Chocolate contains:130 cals1.5 g fat3 carbs24 g protein

My favorite flavor so far is the caramel toffee fudge and delicious strawberry, but chocolate and vanilla are the most versatile.  DON'T BUY FROM OPTIMUM NUTRITION'S WEBSITE as they charge almost double what you pay at Vitamin Shoppe or Bodybuidling.com.  At bodybuilding.com I got it for $42 for a huge cannister of it plus they sent me a tee shirt, 2 protein drink containers and 3 free samples of cassein powder and other goodies.  bodybuilding.com has more flavors available than the Vitamin Shoppe near me.

This morning's breakfast smoothie:  1 yoplait nonfat strawberry yogurt, splash of organic lowfat almond milk, some frozen cranberries, 1 scoop delicious strawberry protein powder.  MMMM!  Tastes like a milkshake!

I keep oatmeal and the lowfat organic almond milk at work in case I need more for breakfast.Tonite someone might come over and teach a routine to Marc and I.  It will be fun to  have another instructor in the house!  We'll see what happens.

Off to shower and go to work!  Hope everyone has an awesome week!
