New Nike Free Tr Fit 2 Breathe Trainers

Hello to all,

I finally got around to do this review!! I'm so happy to introduce my New Nike Free Tr Fit 2 Breathe Training Shoe!!! I must start by saying I LOVE these shoes....

The Fit: This shoe fits PERFECT!! I have a wider foot then the norm medium B sized people so I thought that it would be a problem, but to my surprise this shoe required no breaking in. I was able to wear the shoe the first try and when I did try them on for the first time they felt like a Sock!!!! ****This is why I love Nike****

Performance: This trainer has allowed me to continue all of my normal cardio and strength training exercises without any problems! I have attended zumba class numerous times in them and they are so lightweight I feel like I'm gliding across the floor!

Cost: Now this is the only downfall for some but for me I cant complain the shoes cost $95 and I say this because you really get what you pay for in this pair of trainers.

Durability: I think these shoes will last me a long while, although they are light as a feather they still have a great infrastructure that can weather long strenuous workouts.

Note: This is one of the items from my wish list and I got them just in time for summer!!! I must add with shoes this hott and Fab I have to take them on proper workouts.

Detox Menu Shopping Haul

Last week I started detoxing or how others like to call it "eating clean." After experiencing a 5 month plateau, I figured my body had grown used to my normal food options, so I decided to shake up my menu! I researched a bit on detoxing and figured the more extreme juicing/fasting detoxes were not for me. I mean, I need substance people lol. So, I decided to incorporate healthy food options, low carb choices, and high protein in a way that wouldn't make me feel like I was starving and this is what I've come up with so far. 

I invented a meal plan that allows me to eat all day while feeling full, energized, and satisfied. *Spoiler alert: I'll be sharing it with you all in my next post depending on how interested you are in learning more about it!*

New Product Find (GNC Pro Performance Whey Protein)

My shake made with skim milk

Hey ladies,

So I recently realized that I was failing to meet the suggested amount of protein that I should be in taking for my diet. So I thought about several different ways to alter my diet. Then I considered protein shakes. So I done a little bit of researching, I considered several different brands. I then came across GNC Pro Performance. This brand has several different flavors and after reading the reviews and comments I decided to go with the Banana Cream Flavor. This flavor is so delish! It reminds me of a banana-flavored milkshake, and it definitely has helped me to make my recommended amount of protein in take.  Below is some information that I found via WebMd.com

Dieters. When shedding pounds sensibly, the goal is to lose body fat but maintain lean muscle mass. Protein helps you do that. Protein foods tend to be more filling, so they delay hunger, making it easier to stick with your weight-loss program. Just keep an eye on the calories and portion sizes of your protein choices when including them in meals and snacks.

Protein shakes

As interest in health and nutrition grows, more and more people are trying protein shakes as a way to lose weight or enhance their sports performance. What do protein shakes consist of, and what are their true benefits? Here's some information to guide you.

 

What are protein shakes?Protein is one of the body's main building blocks for muscle, bone, skin, and other tissues. Used often by athletes, protein shakes come in many combinations of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. They can range from 100% protein to mostly carbohydrates with a little added protein and fat. Protein shakes come in a variety of flavors in powder form or in ready-to-drink packages, such as cans or foil packs.

How much protein do you need?Almost all people can get the protein they need from whole foods and drinks in their diet. The recommended daily intake of protein for healthy adults is 0.75 g of protein per kilogram of body weight, or about 45 to 56 g of protein a day

Whey protein is:

·       A protein found in milk

·       Fast-absorbing

·       In your body for a shorter time

·       A good supplement after intense workouts

So lately I’ve been trying out some new products and I must say i'm in love with both!!! The Turkey Burgers by Jennie-O hava a great flavor and don’t require any additional seasoning.
