I mix 2 tablespoons of Chia Seeds in with my Protein Shakes in the morning.
Why you ask? There is some
The CHIA SEED IS featured IN THE BOOK:
"YOU - STAYING YOUNG"
WRITTEN BY DR. OZ
:
-Chia Seeds are THE BEST source of
Omega-3 & Omega-6 essential fatty acids!
-These seeds are perfect for diabetics &
people watching or trying to lose weight.
-Chia Seeds are also very beneficial to the
heart and extremely high in fiber, calcium, high
quality protein, slowly processed carbohydrates
and loaded with vitamins & minerals and antioxidants!
-The chia seed is THE BEST source of Omega-3.
CHIA SEED IS BETTER THAN
FISH OIL & FLAX SEED!
-Chia seed is high in protein with 18 grams per 100 grams of seed
and high in calcium. 5 times the calcium of milk, 631 mg per 100 grams of seed.
-Chia seed is hydrophilic.
Absorbing up to 14 times
(Mix @ 9-10 times) its weight in water.
This helps extend energy and endurance.

Obsession #2: 30 day shread
I like it because it is only like 25 minutes.
No matter what, I feel like I can find 25 minutes to work out. It is a KILLER workout and designed with 3 levels of intensity.
So, my friend Angie and I made a goal to complete the 30 day challenge (taking Sundays off), and here is the chart I made for us.
This is mine, of course. Going out of town kind of put me off track, but I am back on again.
That's all for now.

What do you put in your protein shakes? Does this take the place of breakfast for you?
