Trail run tomorrow morning!

Heading to bed for an early morning trail run. We are shooting for 13 miles..Goodnight

Plant based Protein shake I use (For smoothie recipe click on recipes's and look for "The perfect Fruit Smoothie" by " No Meat athlete"

Its on sale right now 25% off 25.00 22g protein per serving!
I have not tried making my shake with just water or favorite beverage. I only make it in my blender. I have used the following recipe from "No Meat Athlete" as a guide for my shake, but i change things up quite a bit, maybe making a peanut butter and banana shake or switching my fruits. I don't use any sweeteners, I feel its sweet enough, but its your preference! Cheers and enjoy!

GREAT Post from "No Meat Athlete!!" The only healthy Eating Guide you'll ever need. If your struggling at the grocery store?? Unsure what healthy/clean eating is? And what do i buy?? YOU MUST read!

This may piss you off!

Im sorry! I have had enough of the damn excuses!! Personal responsibility PEOPLE!! Get your A$$ of the couch and move your body!!! It doesn't have to be HIGH intensity! Just WALK if thats all you can do..Don't tell me you DONT have time to move! Really?? Do you invest in Retirement for your future?? If so then get active so you don't DIE before you get the chance to enjoy it! Or you end up spending the money on medications to keep you going. Someone said to me today..you are naturally fit!! BS!!! I have worked hard and have been through many medical issues and pushed through the tough times, I just want to live and be healthy for myself, husband, kids and grandkids. Is it motivation you need?? Then set goals, find your motivation! I KNOW it hurts sometimes..just push through..YOU CAN DO THIS!
I did a post a while back about the maintenance of your teeth. We all brush and floss our teeth every day (if you don't floss you should..wink;-) We do this so our teeth don't fall out..so why don't you try to better and exercise???  MAKE TODAY THE DAY TO STOP MAKING EXCUSES!! DONT WAIT UNTIL MONDAY!!! Cheers!
