These are a few of my FAVORITE workout essentials & supplements ....

I'll start with my favorite Protein Powders ~ BSN's Dessert Chocolate Fudge and Whipped Vanilla. They taste as good as they sound! 150 calories per scoop w/ 21 grams of protein.
(They blend very well .. no grit!)
Love mixing these in the blender with my next favorite item...








Trop50 Pomegranate Blueberry juice is the bomb!! Tastes so good by itself and also mixed with the above protein powders.
Only 50 calories per 8oz!! ... I also use the Trop50 O.J. to mix with my protein shakes as well.








This is a photo of one of my favorite protein shakes that I make ~ I drink this as a 'meal replacement' after my workouts.
    2 cups of ice
    a handful of spinach ~ 7 cal.
    1 scoop of chocolate fudge protein powder ~ 150 cal
    1 cup of frozen wild mixed berries ~ 70 cal
    1 cup of Trop50 Pomegranate Blueberry juice ~ 50 cal

This would be my favorite 'meal replacement' protein brownie.  I eat these when I havent already had a meal or If I am craving something sweet througout the day! ~ YUMMY!!  My hubby likes to heat it in the microwave for a few seconds before eating his! :) 

(240 cal. & 13grams of protein)

XTEND!!! ~ LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this drink mix! I drink this DURING my workouts.  It helps Build Muscle. Burn Fat. Recover Faster. & Rehydrate. ZERO calories and it's refreshing.

Need I say more! =)

LOVE the Raspberry Blue flavored XTEND!! 

These are the Fat Burners that I take now ... I have seen a big difference in the leanness of my muscle tone since taking the 'Apex' line fat burners.  Im on phase two now ~ these also give me a little boost of energy as well ~ But not too overwhelming at all, like some fatburners can be!

Good Stuff!! :)

This Bad Boy right here is called a BODYBUGG!!  I wear it on my calf. (sometimes on my tricep too.) It monitors how many steps that I have taken in a day and also how many calories I burn.  I have an App on my iPhone for it so that I can get real time info. right from the BodyBugg at any time. You can also log all of your food into the iPhone App so that you can monitor your calorie deficite daily. I highly recommend this to anyone who is trying to lose weight or make a lifestyle change! ~ It keeps you accountable! :)

LOVE THIS!! ~ It's my new therapy! I wish I would have bought one of these months ago!  It saved my ass, or should I say 'saved my Sciatica'!  When my Sciatic nerve was pinched a couple weeks ago I finally went out and bought one of these foam rollers from Target, (my FAVORITE store! :)) best $40.00 I've ever spent!  It was instant relief as soon as I started rolling on my right Sciatica!! Everyone needs one of these!! ~ It's like giving yourself your own personal deep massage!

Not sure how this got on my FAVORITE 'workout' essentials list BUT it IS my favorite!! =)  I always use this to recover on Friday & Saturday after my strenuous workouts all week!! 

It does WONDERS!! hehe! :)

Can you blame a GirL?!? ~  I work my ass off all week! :)

(at least I mix it with DIET soda!)

Im sure over time I will have more favorites to add to the list! ~  But these are my favorites for now! :)

Please excuse any typo's ... Im working hard on proof reading my posts!!

(Its not easy ... but hey, neither is working out, and I manage to get that right!) =)
