We all know we need protein after a workout. But how much protein you need after a workout, and why? Hint: You don’t need a blender bottle of raw eggs.

New Year, New Workout – Upper and Cardio
Who’s ready to start 2016 out right with a workout?
I know, I know… it’s cliche.
I’m going with a workout post not because I’m jumping on the resolution bandwagon, but because I workout almost every day. Why should that change in the new year?
What is different is that I’m doing more cardio and drinking less beer. I made a promise to myself at the beginning of December that I’d lose a little of the newly wed fluff in the second year of marriage. That second year just happens to start January 2nd!

Winter Workout: Shoulder Strengthener
I’m learning not to make blanket statements.
Ever so slowly.
The whole “never dating again” thing. Refusing to waste money on a Christmas tree. Thinking seafood is gross. The mornings I moaned I’m never drinking again!” Thinking my shoulders are too big. I take it all back
These days I can’t grow my shoulders fast enough. It’s hard to believe that in high school I refused to wear tank tops because I thought I had “linebacker” shoulders.

Going Big with Endurance
Go big or go home.
That’s my life’s mantra.
Why stop at 10 when you can do 11? Or 30 when you can be 31. If I can better myself without damaging myself, I’m going to go for it. Today I’m bring back Work It Out to focus on endurance.

Work It Out In Style
Black is my color.
It’s how I like my coffee and my clothing.
I tend to think no one notices what I wear at the gym… and it’s reflected in my attire. I rotate between the same 3-4 black and/or grey shorts and tank top combos.
Then I wear color one time and get 4 comments. Apparently they do notice. Oops.
How cool is this mesh back?!

Work It Out: Counting Is Hard
I have popcorn stuck in my teeth.
I need to work that out with some floss.
Popcorn. Good carbs when you pop it fresh at home. Why do I need carbs? Because I’ve been working hard! And I just like popcorn.
It’s been a while since I posted a Work It Out, but I’m sharing an especially good one today to make up for it.
Top 13 in 2013
You guys like dessert.
I guess that’s why we get along?
Happy New Year!!!
As I looked back at the top posts of 2013, I knew there would be a lot of sweeter dishes. But whoa. Of the top 13 2013 posts, 6 were sweet recipes. What I didn’t realize was that the Work It Out posts are popular too! I’ll do a better job to writing more of those in 2014 – I’ve been pushing it at the gym, but slacking on the writing.
Thank you to everyone for all of the visits, comments, and many, many laughs in 2013. I’ve loved getting to know so many awesome people this year, and look forward to continuing these relationships for years to come.
Enough much! Here’s the lucky (top) 13 to start out ’14…

Accidental Long Runs + Mizuno Wave Rider 17 Review
Cardio hasn’t been fun recently.
The following post is sponsored by Fitfluential LLC on behalf of Mizuno. All opinions are my own.
I like cardio when it’s MY idea. Having it as a mandatory daily activity during competition prep makes it a chore. That’s a thing of the past (for now), and I have gotten the itch to run more. The added motivation of new shoes doesn’t hurt. Does anyone else get oddly motivated by new workout gear?!
I’ve never had the chance to try out a Mizuno running shoe. When I got the opportunity to try the new Wave Rider 17, I jumped at it! It’s a neutral running shoe with a good amount of support.
After all of the Thanksgiving festivities and football disappointments, I was itching for a run. Sunday I headed out to tackle Atlanta’s hilly streets in my new Wave Riders.
