Since I am doing a week of protein smoothies I figured I would touch base on more information about protein and why it is so important for your body.

Most protein powder has at least 20g, if you are working out and you do 2 shakes that is already 40g of protein. Now let's say you have chicken for dinner 4oz chicken brea...

  I'm like a shooting star; I've come so far. I can't go back to where I used to be.

  This week's recipes are going to be all about protein shakes. Benefits of protein shakes; they are an excellent thing to drink before and or after a workout to help your muscles properly recover. They are also a great meal replacement as they have healthy calories and are high in protein. The first recipe of the week is a basic protein shake smoothie... First thing you need to know is you need to find a brand of protein powder you like, we get ours from bodybuilding.com or GNC. The nice thing about GNC is you can buy some protein powder, if you don't like it keep your receipt and they will take it back. Sometimes they have samples you can try too. My favorite from GNC is their actual brand and it is salted caramel, it is good mixed with peanut butter. Any who are into the recipe....

I get dry cracked feet, I really get it bad in the winter. During the spring and summer I go get pedicures, I don't see the point during the winter because I always have socks on. I still need to take care of my feet though, so I do it at home. What you need: 3 fresh lemons 3c vinegar 3c epsom salt pumice stone sugar scrub How to do your saok: Fill a large bowl with warm to hot water; something big enough to fit both your feet and a towel to place under the bowl. Add the vinegar and lemon juice. Use the insides of the lemon peels to gently clean toes and feet. Before adding the salt to the water rub some into your feet using a circular motion. Soak your feet for 10-15 minutes, then use a pumice stone to take the dry skin off. Take some sugar scrub and rub it into your feet. Let it set on your feet for 5 minutes. Pop your feet in the water just to rinse the sugar scrub off and then dry your feet. You can also coat your feet in a good thick lotion and then put socks on.
