Okay---Blogging Take 2

Crazy few months!

Here's what went down:

  1. Vacation to NH
  2. We found and bought an our dream house (with a POOL--no shit, I have a house with a pool)
  3. Moved everything throughout August
  4. The medical practice I helped start up in April has BOOMED--been swamped with that.
  5. Um, I FINALLY graduated--woo!
Anyways, definitely going to give this blog another shot here--because I love talking about trying to live as healthily (is that a word?) as possible.

For right now, let me leave you with this fantastic smoothie recipe I cooked up after my workouts recently:

2 handfuls of frozen peaches (I buy peaches, cut and freeze 'em myself--cheaper)
1/4c of oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Vanilla Creme from Pure Protein--delish)
1c skim milk
1 heaping handful of ice cubes

Throw all in a blender and pulse first to get the frozen stuff going, then go over to smoothie mode if you have that--if not just blend the best you can at a higher speed.

400 calories
36 grams of protein

It's a full-out meal here...Full of the simple carbs you need after a workout (more on this later) and a damn good amount of protein to go back and nourish those muscles you just ripped apart--you animals. :)

I had this---at about 7:30 this morning on the drive to work, and I got stuffed--It stuck around for quite a while, it's almost two, and I had my first stomach growl.  Not too shabby at all.

That's a quickie for today--get your workouts in (5 mile run, anyone?), and enjoy your Labor Day.  Maybe I'll grab some beer *gasp*.


As always, Go fork yourselves,

Krissy
