All Jack3d Up!

I dunno about all of you, but I have a tendency to not always bring it when I am tired after a long day of work.  I mean I wake up at 5 am...work from 7 am until almost 5 pm...then deal with traffic

I have to feed puppy and let him out...


Make dinner for MYSELF...

THEN it is time to work out...

I am exhausted just READING all of it...Sometimes I don't get the chance to push play until almost 8 pm!  That is when I started looking for something to get my pumped up...give me energy to actually bring it and get the most from my workout...and that is when I heard about Jack3d :)

Now this stuff is intense and should be used carefully!  Don't just think, "oh, this is just an energy boosting supplement"...NO, this stuff is CRAZY...but I love it!  

I put 1 scoop into about 10 oz of water about 20 minutes before my workout...and it really helps me to bring it!  Last night for instance, I almost DOUBLED my number of reps in shoulders and arms...and upped my weight!  I really  pushed myself and it felt amazing!  Plus, I was able to do ALLLLL of Ab Ripper X without stopping, that was a first!

Now like I said, BE CAREFUL with this stuff...They don't keep it in a glass care at GNC for no reason.  ALWAYS READ THE LABELS...

Also, if you are currently taking a multivitamin each morning, make sure that you continue to take it!  Jack3d will actually prevent some toxins from leaving your body...you multivitamin will help prevent this from happening!

I definitely recommend the stuff...I mean, I have had 2 of the BEST workouts of my life while taking it the past 2 days...but please be careful...

What keeps me going all day...

So, I have had quite a few people ask me what I use as supplements to help curb my hunger and keep me awake.  Now, keep in mind, I was a COFFEE ADDICT.  Like to the point where I could not function without my coffee (it was ugly).  But, I have not had coffee in almost 4 WEEKS...and I feel fantastic.  I am in happier than ever and I am not tired!  I actually have a hard time sleeping because I am so excited about everything happening in my life.  So...without further delay...here are my supplements :)

Now, I start my morning with my ActiVit Multivitamin...the metabolism boosting one...


Then...I make myself a protein shake with my MyoFusion...Chocolate of course!  I use 6 oz of water and 6 oz of vanilla soy milk along with 5 ice cubes and my Magic Bullet to blend it all together!!


Throughout the day, I fill up my Blender Bottle with water and my Xtend...this stuff helps to reduce muscle fatigue and keeps me awake all day...I have both watermelon and orange (orange is my favorite!)...


Lastly, is my 2 pm protein bar snack.  Now, I have yet to find a protein bar that I don't like...But Beachbody P90X bars (click the link and look around the store, you will find them!) are amazing!  Unfortunately, I ran out and in a pinch I found another brand that is super yummy too!


So that sums up my day...I am a creature of habit, so my food routine does not change much...that is,  until I get my Shakeology...then watch out!  In addition to the foods and drinks I listed about, I eat a TON of fruit and veggies throughout the day, plus my lunch which is usually some form of chicken or a salad.

I am already seeing results...my diet and exercise paying off!!...I took new pictures today (4/12/11) to compare with the pictures taken before (on 3/31/11) and WOW...there is already a big difference!  But you all have to wait to see that ;)
