Hills, Fitness Friends, and Protein Shakes

So today marks a turn in my blogging! One, I'm starting up again. Two, I've changed my outlook a good bit when it comes to the fitness and nutritional lifestyle I'm living and I'm super proud of how far I've come and I really want all of you to join me on my journey so I can inspire and bring you along with me!

Hills ...
The other week a new fitness friend of mine (Sarah!!) and I did hill sprints at a local "hill" ... more like MOUNTAIN!!


Like my fitness friend said, it's a whole lot MORE steep than it looks!

HIIT is some of the BEST cardio you can do for fat loss!

Fitness Friends ...
It's SO nice to have people in your life that understand your goals and have the camaraderie with those who know exactly what we do and exactly why we do it. I feel it's very important to have people in your life you care about regardless of whether their lifestyle is similar to yours or not. It is nice though to also have people in your life that do understand all the little things that make this lifestyle part of what it truly is. (Sarah - this means you! If anyone else heard our chats over tea they'd think we're nuts but it's so nice that you totally get it!) Pics to come of me and the fitness friends working our butts off together!!

AND DRUMROLL!!!!!!!!
Protein Shakes ...
I have become the ultimate connoisseur of blended protein shakes/smoothies. FANCY SHMANCY SHAKES! Frozen hot chocolate, vanilla bean, french vanilla, cocoa. All with chia seeds, without chia seeds, with cacao nibs, without cacao nibs.

And I mainly eat these fancy blended protein shakes out of bowls with spoons.

And sometimes I even add spinach =O!!

Fancy Shmancy Protein Shakes are a blast to make. And they're delectable! TONS of recipes and protein shake pictures coming right up ... Can't wait to share them all with you!!

This blog is about to change, are you all ready!?!?

Let me know what you'd like to hear and read about! Workouts? Recipes? Motivation?
