Rain, Rain, Go Away!

I'm sure Michigan isn't the only place getting pounded with rain. I'm thankful we don't have hurricanes here. This past week I made a new blog just to post my kettlebell practices and experiences on. You can see the link to the left, called "Just Di". I have always kept track of all my workouts, but with this specific goal I want to see how the progression goes, so this new blog will help. On another note, just want to reiterate how important breakfast is:
,"When you wake up in the morning, you are in a fasted state because you haven't
eaten anything since the night before. The theory is that you will burn more
calories as fat because of this.

The science shows that your workload capacity is decreased because you don't
have the energy that is needed to push your intensity for your workout.

This results in less overall calories burned. Your body may also rely
on the muscle to be used for energy.

I just wanted to reinforce how important breakfast or a pre-workout
snack is.

If you aren't doing this, start doing it right away. You will get better workouts
which will translate into better results. Here is a recipe most of my clients love:

Jello Whip: 1 -4oz pkg of sugarless Jello
2 C 1% Cottage Cheese
2 scoop vanilla/Choclate protein powder
2 cups Water
1-2 pkg Stevia

Place 2 C of Cottage cheese in blender, boil one cup of water and dilute Jello, add to Cottage cheese, add another cup of cold water, add 1 scoop of protein powder, blend, place in ziploc containers (6-8 oz size) and refrigerate. Makes approx 5. Great flavor mixtures are Orange jellow/vanilla pp, lime/Vanilla, black cherry/Chocolate pp, these are a few of my favorites. Calorie contents approx: 120 give or take, protein of 20 grams, give or take. Enjoy!
