Recipe - Protein Drink

I loved the idea of a protien shake that is whole foods and free of artifical nasties.
This was my lunch on Sunday - I had just trained for three hours, and though I knew I needed to refuel to make it through the afternoon sessions, I didn't feel like I could eat a "solid" meal and train.  This worked a treat!  I loved it.  Though be warned I have an open minded palate - and even I thought it tasted unusual! Not bad at all, just unlike anything I have had before - GREEN berry taste ??
 
 

• 1 cups low fat whole bean soy milk
• 1/2 cup frozen berries (i <3 raspberries)
• 1 tbl sp LSA
• 1 tsp spirulina powder
• 2 tsp honey

 
I suggest combining all ingredients aside from the frozen berries and blend.  Once the honey is blended you can add the berries and blend.  The coldness of the frozen berries is really refreshing! If you think it might be a bit too green, try halving the spirulina powder :)

Be warned - its green !!

Fell across the line

Thank goodness today is my rest day.  6 days of hard training that started with a Mt Lofty climb and Austalia's Biggest Workout and I need a break.  I always think I won't need a day off, but they are soooo good :)  This one is somewhat enforced by having my back swollen and locked up after some pretty aggressive massage and accupuncture yesterday. Ow!

12WBT Side Effects

This losing weight thing is catching up with me.  I hadn't really thought there'd been much change ... but there must be.  I had to buy new undies becaude my old ones were falling down.  Y'all needed to know that, right ?

Being the Best Version of Me

Thanks to Mish, this is a great surpise challenge!

I found making this fun and a what great reminder of my achievements in getting to the end of week three !

I can’t believe how many firsts I have managed to cram in!  There has been - boxing, PT, bikram yoga, rpm class, owning (and using!) scales, lunchtime walking, HRM, treadmill, crosstrainer, kettleball, and really really memorable - the Mount Lofty climb with my fellow SA 12WBTers!

Also included are some of my vege food experiments - all weighed and calorie counted of course !

Training with a view

I headed down to the beach today for my first Saturday PT session.  Wasn't quite sure what was in store, Ceds had been talking of "Resistance" and "Running"! I am wondering who needs F-words when you have those R-words !!

After some geographical embarrasment I made it only a squidgen late and so was straight into some boxing.  We had an odd number of peeps - so I got to double up my boxing reps - befitting of SSS I thought =)

The pic really doesn't show how outta breath and sweaty I got !

Anh You Rock!!!!!!!

Just had my back follow up and have the all clear to train again WOOT!  ... finally can really get stuck into my 12wbt! Cheerin !!!

I am so happy my back is feeling great.  Even better than normal - which is a looooooong way better than how it was for the last two weeks!! 

A visit to Anh, a fair bit of different pain, a few swear words and the acute pain in my back was gone.  A week later (today) I went back for a “final fix” and got the all clear.  Trained tonight without any twinges or spasms !!!!!!

I would never have believed it could work so well, but became a convert when it first fixed my acute pain after many failed attempts at physio/chiro etc. Now am so glad to have been able to go straight there and get it fixed and not faff around with things that didn’t work ! 

It feels so good to have been able to train tonight !
