According to the Four Hour Body by Tim Ferris (not a veg*n book), fat loss is helped greatly by having 30g of protein within 30 minutes of rising. So as soon as I could after getting out of bed I hit my body with this protein smoothie...
...which had around 26 grams of protein and it was yummo!
1 scoop Ezy Protein Powder, chocolate flavour
1 frozen banana
Water to desired thickness
Blended it up in my little Tribest blender and drank it as we were getting ready to go out.
It promised to be a warm day here on the Gold Coast today so I dragged the kiddies out of bed early, grabbed my hubby Bill and off we went to Burleigh. Twas a perfect day for the beach...
...and we had a lot of fun with the frisbee and tennis ball.
We saw first hand the devastation that the beaches and complacence can create though when all of a sudden a huge group of people furthest from shore started waving their arms for the lifeguards, who were busy in a huddle and didn't see them, for a women unconscious in the water. A lesson for those who cannot swim well to be careful in our rough seas and also for lifeguards on duty to be on guard. The young girl was attended to by locals and when she came to the guards drove her to the carpark where she was met by an ambulance. It wasn't like Bondi Rescue at all believe me! So I had a bit of a teary moment there. But ah well...
When I left you yesterday I was on my way to to the Bum Bum workout from the Brazil But Lift series. I'd love to tell you that I completed the whole workout but that would be a big fat lie! I did exactly half of it. I walked away feeling a little sheepish that I didn't do more but today I am glad that I stopped when I did! I definitely worked out! My ass and thighs are aching like you wouldn't believe. I expended a lot of energy this morning so I'm pretty happy with that.
