Smooth and chocolatey
I did my longest swim today – 1700 meters. I’m hoping to build to 2000 meters comfortably by April and 2500 by May. Today’s swim felt hard but I really pushed through! I did a 400s/200k/100p warm-up and then did 4×100 IM, then 10x50f build, then a 100s warm down. The best part was that I did not feel sick at all. I got out and felt tired with that overall feeling of a hard workout. Now I feel peppy and back to life with this yummy lunch smoothie.

Great recipe! Did you know we are coming out with chocolate flavored Raw Protein soon? I think you’ll love it! If you’d like to e mail me later in April, I will send you some to try.
Hey girl! Just found your blog via the Fitnessista! You were saying you do P90X but thought about TurboFire. I left a comment there but wasn’t sure if you’d see it 🙂
If you’re at all interested in TurboFire let me know- I can get you started with it- I’m a Beachbody Coach, so that’s what I do is help people pick and choose their programs to try 🙂 Love your blog! Love what it’s all about (FITNESS! yay!!) Take care.
