I created this challenge for myself. My arms are really weak and I have a really hard time with push-ups so most challenges I see out there, I simply can’t do because they’re too hard. So I wanted to share this challenge with others in the same situation. If you can’t do all of them properly, do them kneeling instead.

I’m doing this!

ahhh finally! xx

SWEET!!!!!

I am so excited about this! I have like, zero upper body strength and I can barely do a push up. This should be a great way to improve :D

Ok so I did what might be the most groundbreaking thing (for me) in the history of smoothies. If I make a protein smoothie for breakfast, I usually throw in some soy milk because it helps everything blend easier. Today, I was out of soy milk, and I hate the taste of orange juice, so I was stuck. Then I saw the half empty coffee pot and thought “oh em gee cat, coffee is a liquid, and you love blended coffees from starbucks,” (because that’s how I talk to myself) so I tried it. I had already added most of my ingredients to the blender, so I would do things a little differently next time, but it’s really good! I try and stay away from the calorie rich and nutrient poor blended drinks from starbucks, so this is going to be a go to for me. Here’s what I’ll add next time (I eyeball amounts so some of these are guesses).
-1 1/2 cups frozen cherries
-1 scoop chocolate protein powder
-1 banana
-2 Tbsp raw cacao powder
-1 tbsp flax seed powder
-1 cup nonfat cottage cheese (if you aren’t making your smoothies with cottage cheese you are completely missing out. The texture is insanely better than with greek yogurt. I know it sounds gross but just try it)
-Ill pour enough coffee in to fill the bottom of the blender with everything in it to about an inch
-a few ice cubes
I just had to share because this is huge for me :D

What makes a marathon runner?

In the midst of yesterday’s tragedy, a lot of people might have missed the time of the men’s Boston Marathon winner. His name is Lelisa Desisa Benti, he’s a 23-year-old Ethiopian, and he finished in 2 hours, 10 minutes, and 22 seconds. For the mathematically challenged like me, that is roughly 26 5 minute miles. For the running challenged (also like me), you may be thinking “I can’t imagine running one 5 minute mile.” It got me thinking about what makes a marathon winner. It’s pretty common knowledge that a large percentage of marathon winners are East African, specifically Kenyan and Ethiopian. But why do these two countries turn out such huge amounts of spectacular long distance runners? Looking into it, I found a lot of interesting information.
