My early workout this morning was super hard. I did No More Trouble Zones and found myself doing a double take at my weights to make sure they weren’t twice as heavy. I thought I might have grabbed the wrong ones because I was feeling super weak on the second rep of the first circuit.
I thought about quitting a few times, about how nice it would be to go back to bed, or to veg out on the coach for an hour. It was a struggle, but I got through it.
My workouts and runs have been downers lately. I’m crossing my fingers for a good run in the morning and if it’s not good, I’m not going to complain about it. I’ve reached my complaining limit for the week.
When I was done struggling through my workout, I knew immediately what I wanted.
Raspberry smoothie in a bowl!
8 oz. raspberries
1 cup almond milk
1/2 frozen banana
1 cup spinach
1 scoop vanilla soy & spirulina protein
bit of Stevia for extra sweetness
Blend and enjoy!
I added some granola for some chew.
This was cold and delicious, but I think it would be better with whey protein instead of the soy and spirulina mixture. I bought the soy and spirulina protein back when I was avoiding dairy. This is the second kind I’ve tried and think I’m going to stick with whey protein when I run out of this, especially since I’m no longer avoiding dairy and have the option to eat what I want.
