Happy Friday everyone!! I love love love Fridays!!
Well, I was able to go on a decent run today! Yay! I was so sad about how crappy my last run was that I was anxious (and a little nervous!) to go again and redeem myself!
My kids didn’t have school today, so I was able to leave my little ones home (no jogger for me!) I ran just over 4 miles, but I don’t know my pace because the battery on my Garmin was dead. 🙁 I felt good most of the time though and really tried to push myself. The weather was perfect, in fact I was even a little HOT! Woo hoo!
While I was running, I was listening to the song Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) by Kelly Clarkson. I LOVE that song! In fact, I love all her songs! They are all so motivational and fabulous to run to. Love her.
This particular song is a great one to exercise to. My instructor on Thursday nights always plays this song during class and it makes me just want to push a little lottle bit more. 😉 So, for your listening pleasure…..here ya go…..
When I got home from my run, I made a yummy protein shake!! I got the idea for this recipe from my friend, Sheree (thanks Sheree!!) It was so good. Here’s the recipe:
Fruity Vanilla Protein Shake
1 C. Unsweetened Almond Milk (or liquid of your choice)
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
1/2 Orange
1/2 C. Frozen Berries
1 T. Ground Flax Seed
a drop or two of vanilla extract
2 handfuls Baby Spinach
6-7 ice cubes (more or less if you like!)
Throw everything except the ice into the blender.
Mix well.
Add ice and mix again!
Yum! This shake was huge! I was able to fill this cup twice and then some! It was very very tasty. Reminded me of a strawberry milkshake. Too bad the spinach ruins the aesthetics! LOL! If the spinach wasn’t in there, this would be a beautiful shade of pink. It was still so good though!
Well, there ya go. I told you I was going to make my version of the Cheesecake Factory’s Pear Blue Cheese flatbread. Well I did, and they were the bomb! I will post the recipe a little later on today since this post is already long enough!!
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!!!! 🙂
