Muscle Soreness
So let me answer a very important question i keep hearing. I'm
sore....what can I do. The very very best thing you can do is drink a
protein recovery drink in the first 30 minutes. It's not all hype it
really does make a huge and I mean huge difference the next day.
On days I do crazy workouts you will notice I drink two of those bad boys. You rarely hear me mention being sore. Reason being is not that I'm immune to muscle soreness but instead the shake I drink....Ahhhh you're thinking here comes the plug for something he's selling....NOPE I don't sell anything. Here's what I use if you wanna try it out. It's all from Walmart and NO they are not my sponsor. LOL
1 scoop Super Whey Fortress Cookies N Creme Protein Shake Mix ($14.97 a container) almost enough for one month
1/2 cup Oikos Greek Plain NONFAT Yogurt ($4.54)
2 tbsp Jif Peanut Butter
1/2 cup of 2% or Silk Almond Milk
ICE to the brim!
Blend on high for a great Peanut Butter Protein Shake!
I prefer the Cookies N Creme over any other flavors. The greek yogurt and peanut butter add a tremendous amount of protein and provides a very filling drink. I hope this helps with your super sore muscles.
Now TRIBE UP AND GET THOSE CHALLENGES DONE! RAISE YOUR SPEARS!

Labor Day Blues
Labor Day is gone and it's time to put away your white shoes and pants, so my wife says, and look forward to cooler temperatures. You might be saying, "what about all those calories I consumed over the weekend?" That's just what those are calories of the past. Never dwell on past calories. The decisions you made either bad or good are now set in stone. This is the life we lead. So how do we pick up and move forward. I have a few tips to help you get rid of the Labor Day blues.
Tip # 1
Increase your water this week. Labor Day we tend to consume high fat, high sodium foods. An increase in water will help flush the sodium out of your system. You may have noticed an initial 2 - 4 lb gain since Friday. Much of that will be water. Its been stated that it takes 3500 calories in a 24 hour period to gain one pound. If you truly gained 3lbs over the weekend you would have consumed over 10,000 calories. I'm guessing most of you didn't even come close to that. I've learned you fight water with water!
Tip # 2
Increase your activity this week. Push yourself harder than last week. That boost in metabolism will help kick start this weeks exercise challenges and will help you burn those extra pounds.
Tip # 3
Leave the past in the past. Don't beat yourself up. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas is all coming. What I've learned is that one holiday a month not counting calories will never result in a lifetime of obesity. Its what you do surrounding these days. If you are pushing your activity levels to new heights, watching what you eat and utilizing portion control on these Holiday, you will be able to enjoy them instead of dreading this time of year. Common sense and focusing on the present and not the past will provide you with better tools for success.
