Pre-Workout or BUST!

 Ask any gym rat and they'll all tell you the same thing. The three most important things for a killer workout are:
 
1. An amazing playlist
2. Comfortable workout gear
3. And a pre-workout that doesn't make you want to claw your face off
....Not necessarily in that order

I've always had a Love/Hate Relationship with supplements. On one hand, I believe in and support all the benefits attributed to proper supplementation when it comes to fitness and health. But the other hand, it isn't so understanding. It's lazy and can't find the keys even when holding them. In an effort to balance finding my "peak" performance and keeping in mind that I'm horrible at remembering pretty much anything, I keep my supplements to a minimum.

Along with regular daily vitamins, I supplement my workouts with a fat burner, pre-workout and BCAA. Since I don't take very many, I've had the opportunity to try a slew of different brands. Most recently, I was given the opportunity to try RSP Nutrition's QuadraLean Thermo Fat Burner, DyN.O. Pre-workout and ReGen BCAA. (Plus my new FAV!, Cinnamon Bun Protein.)

I started my day like any other. I rolled out of bed, washed my face and wandered the house aimlessly until my morning person of a husband brought me coffee. (Yes, he does that. Yes, I'm spoiled.)  I popped my morning pills and carried on with my day. Maybe 15-20 minutes later, give or take, I definitely noticed the QuadraLean Thermo Fat Burners kicking in. It was good, though. A smooth onset that didn't leave me feeling like I needed to attach a tail to my butt and chase it. I really liked the steady stream of energy it gave me and it lasted a good portion of the day! WINNING!

Having had a good start with the QuadraLean Thermo Fat Burner I was really excited to try the DyN.O. Pre-Workout and BCAA that evening. I got to the gym. Mixed my pre-workout... and thought, "Holy Crap. It completely dissolved."  I absolutely can't STAND my pre-workout to be crunchy. Whether it be because the powder didn't dissolve or because I was too sore from arm day the day before to shake it enough...  I was STOKED that the pre-workout dissolved like it did. Much like the QuadraLean, the DyN.O. Pre-Workout delivered results and fueled me through my entire workout with energy to spare. I sipped on the ReGen Fruit Punch BCAA (Seriously, the best I've had) and finished my day with a whole new excitement for my routine.

I'm definitely an RSP believer now and hope you will be, too! I'd love for you to try some of their products and if you include my coupon code, you get 30% off your ENTIRE order!

"Mommy, I need you to cuddle me 'cause I'm sick"

"Honey! I'm home!" That's what the stomach bug said when it came to our house this weekend. Starting Friday Tom has some KILLER  gases coming from his tiny body. I don't see how such a small person can make such a strong smell! Anyhoo, as I was saying, it started Friday. All throughout the day he would let one rip and we would all go running. I didn't think much of it. I just figured it was something he had eaten. We went to a get together at the church for New Years and when it was close to being over one of the teachers came and got me because Tom had had an accident. I got him all cleaned up and still didn't think much of it. He's been known to have stomach issues and I thought this was just that. Saturday was the same. He was gassy pretty much all day and then at night started having problems again. I was getting a little suspicious but not overly concerned. Well, the bug started yelling about 2am on Sunday! Tom came in my room and was running...

"Be careful. He has a concussion"

So the whole Hallanderson family was hanging out last night when I noticed Chase's nose was bleeding. My initial thought was that with this funky weather and all the heaters going his nasal passages were dry. A while later I noticed a bruise on his head.. this made my Mommy Radar go off the scale and all these scenorios started going through my head. "OMG. Chase fell, hit his head, broke his nose and has some internal injury that is slowing messing up his organs." or "OMG! Chase hit his head and now his nose is bleeding! He must have brain trauma! He's slowly becoming mentally damaged and I didn't even notice!" and "OMG! CHASE HAS A CONCUSSION!!!!! HE'S SLOWLY TURNING INTO A VEGETABLE! CALL AN AMBULANCE"  OK.. So I'm extreme.. You get all of me or none of me. ANYHOO! My first thought.. well.. rational thought.. is to check his pupils. So, I got a flashlight and checked them! They were A-OK! My next move was to call the doctor wh...

One. Year. Later.

Image
    How incredibly ironic that I stumbled upon my blog today.. when just a few days ago I posted my "One year later" photos on Facebook.     So, one year later what has happened? Well, a lot. One thing that hasn't happened? The Chocolate 5k that I discussed in my last blog post ONE YEAR AGO! HA!     I've always been horrid at New Year Resolutions, so I'm not surprised I never made it to the land of the chocolate eating athletes. BUT I WILL THIS YEAR!!! Well, not THIS year technically but at the next running of the chocolate in February of 2014. AND instead of running with the 5k level athletes.. I will be in the coveted 15k group!! (A side note, while I will be one of the 15k groupies.. I will not be one to envy.. pretty sure I'll need chocolate to up my sugar levels so I don't pass out during the 9 miles.)      Anyhoo, back to my post title. A year later. How neat to look back and see how pitiful I was... haha, just kidding.. but ser...
