Ode to Protein Ice Cream: Arctic Zero

Okay, just gotta give a quick review/shout out to a product that I dearly cherish. Talk as much crap as you want about it…but I love it! Especially the chocolate peanut butter flavor- for some reason, the texture of that flavor seems creamier than the rest. Arctic Zero is…my ice cream. My “ice cream.” It’s basically glorified whey. It’s whey and water and fiber (chicory root, xantham gum, and guar gum to make it fluffy) so I can eat it ...

Yes, I know ...

Soulful Nutrition

I was browsing through a magazine tonight and read an article about heart health…But then there was this emotional piece that resonated with me.

“When it comes to food choices, habit is stupendously powerful. Our familiar foods give us comfort, reassurance, and a sense of identity. They are there for us when the world may not be. They can be our best friends, loyal and true. It does not take much effort or ...

Zig Zag

Well, my beauties, where do I start? So much has happened!

I guess I’ll just start by sharing a bit about my trip to the world famous OLYMPIA! I was very excited! I did NOT successfully get to gush effusively to Tanji Johnson (my favorite fitness competitor) but I did see plenty of eye candy (though none that seriously caught my eye, maybe I’m blind), and I was so excited to see all the famous fitness models! My favorite sightings were ...

My Chef By Request: Day 1

First day of My Chef By Request (MCBR). As far as taste, it was very good, everything was very tasty!! My favorite was the sauteed mushrooms for dinner..yumm!  As I mentioned yesterday though, I truly don’t think that the food added up to the carbs and calories that they said. I was wondering if I could get through the whole day ONLY eating the MCBR + protein shake and I thought so, but after I took Monkey Conditioning class and ...
