Hey all! I know it's strange, but Wednesdays are my favorite days of the week for 2 reasons:
1) My favorite class is Wednesdays, Communications 200 with Dr. Scott Caplan, who is seriously the coolest professor alive. It's one of the few classes I've taken in college that I feel like I will use one day in my life. It is a study of how to have healthy relationships (marriages, friendships, etc.) and raise emotionally healthy children, and since I wanna be a mommy one day!
2) Most importantly, on Wednesdays I visit Marcellus Beasley, aka the best personal trainer at B-Fit Enterprises! I look forward to my workouts with "Big Dog" every week, and I am usually counting down to it every week!
So, if y'all didn't know, you need protein and carbs to fuel a healthy workout session. My favorite way to get this before a workout is a protein smoothie. Since Big Dog works my butt off every time I visit him, eating a heavy meal before a workout with him is NOT a good idea. So, instead of eating something to weigh me down, I mix up a smoothie in my little personal blender, a $19.99 steal from target. It makes one smoothie at a time and is perfect for when you're on the go! Here it's $29.99 but I got it on sale!
All I do, is throw in some strawberries, a half a banana, a serving of pasteurized egg whites (yes they're totally safe and full of protein!), fresh pineapple, a little pineapple juice, and spinach (you can't even taste it!) If you're short on time, yoplait makes smoothies in a bag, they're just frozen fruit and yogurt that your pour into the blender. I just keep fruit in my freezer to throw in when I'm ready to make one.
I know the spinach and egg white thing sounds gross, but I promise you it's good. Last night I was drinking one and my roommate/best friend Shelby was skeptical until she tried it and loved it.
Anyway, I'm off to B Fit Enterprises to get my workout on with Big Dog.
Keep calm and smoothie on.
XOXOXOXOXO
