Sweeten Up Your Swolemate This Valentine's Day

   If your better half is anything like mine, the ideal date night would include chalk, lifting straps, lots of iron and sweat. While some may take that as a kinky rendezvous at home, it's really just another night in the gym for my Swolemate and me. 

   Sure, we enjoy the occasional dinner and movie but what really gets us excited is a good pump, Pandora radio and a couple RSP protein shakes. 


   We lift. It's what we do. More importantly, it's who we are and if you're anything like we are, your Valentine's Day isn't spent eating chocolate and sipping wine. It's in the gym dropping weights and trying not to puke. (Ok, maybe not THAT intense but you get my drift.)


   So, before you bust out the bubbly and chocolate covered everythings, treat your Swolemate to a Valentine's Day they'll never forget (and hopefully feel the next day) with this special V-Day workout and the sweetest post-gym treats for you and your Valentine.

The Date.. aka The Workout

RSP Frozen Milkshake Recipe

Here's what you need:
- Your Favorite RSP Protein
- 2% Milk
- Ice Trays

Directions:
Make a protein shake as directed on label. Pour the mixed protein into the ice trays and freeze. Once frozen blend protein cubes and 2% milk until desired consistency. Add fresh or frozen fruit to add excitement.

   Now that you've heated things up in the gym and then cooled them down in the kitchen, it's a great time to relax and let your body's recover together. A good massage never hurt anyone after a hard gym session, right?

Happy Valentine's Day, Swolemates!

"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...
