A couple of my clients have motivated me recently. I don't want to be a sub par trainer. I want to continue to evolve and make myself a better person.
This last week I've been slacking off a bit. It started because I was feeling tired, but I just need to work my schedule around that. No excuses. These next two weeks my work schedule will be a bit crazy. I'm covering night shifts at a different location while keeping up my training clients and switching them to early mornings. It's also my birthday this week, so it won't be all work! I've got a fun week planned as well.
Using this birthday as a new opportunity to begin change, I want to achieve these goals:
- Run a half marathon before the year ends
- Increase my standard running pace to 6.5 mph (about 9:15 minute mile)
- Decrease my body fat % enough to where I see more than the top half of my abs
- Decrease the amount of sugar I consume
My boyfriend and I just got our first tub of vanilla protein powder. I'm curious to its effects and how it could help me. I'm not big on making shakes (mostly because I'm too lazy to get out the blender everyday, much less clean it everyday) so I'm trying to come up with different ways to incorporate it into my diet.
Tropical Protein Parfait
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
- 8 walnut halves
The vanilla protein powder makes this concoction taste sweet. I like how the juice from the pineapple chunks makes this taste better than I think it would on its own. After a few bites, I realized that the vanilla protein mixed with cottage cheese pretty much tasted like cake batter. Whether that's good or bad is all up to you.
