Last week the Designer Whey Facebook page had a post asking about your favorite summer berry.  I know that blackberry was the winner, but (as much as I love blackberries) raspberries have always had my heart.  So to all my fellow raspberry lovers out there, this blog’s for you. 

When I was growing up, we had raspberry bushes along the length of our backyard.  In the summertime when the berries would “come on,” my mom would always tell us to let them be (since they were meant for her infamous raspberry jam).  Knowing that the berries were” forbidden” made them all the sweeter, and nearly every day a few handfuls would disappear into our eager mouths.  Looking back, I’m sure that my mom was well aware of our “secret” raids on the precious berries (I’m sure our stained hands and mouths, scratches on our arms and plenty of guilty glances toward the kitchen window gave it away), but rarely did she say anything. 

For the past few weeks I have been anxiously waiting for raspberries to arrive in our grocery stores. Frozen berries are great (I use them almost daily in my smoothies), but there is something special about the taste and texture of freshly picked raspberries.  I always try to capture that taste in all of my recipes, but while frozen berries provide the chill and thickness in a smoothie, they don’t possess the level of freshness that off the vine berries afford.  How could I keep the smoothie texture without using lots of ice and watering down the delicate flavor of the berries?  After numerous attempts (and a few failures!), I finally arrived at what I think is a perfect balance of freshness, flavor and texture. Why not freeze my liquid ingredients?  So here it is – my NEW favorite smoothie… for this week anyways. 

Till next time!

Fresh Raspberry Summertime Smoothie

1 cup fresh raspberries, divided in half

1 scoop Designer Whey Strawberry Protein Powder

2 Tbsp ground Flax seed

1 cup plain yogurt

½-1 packet Stevia

3-4 cubes So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk (ice cube tray purchased in Target’s dollar section)

½ cup So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk

Method

Combine ½ cup raspberries with the remaining ingredients, blending very well (the coconut milk ice cubes freeze extra solid.) After desired consistency is achieved add in remaining ½ cup raspberries and pulse 3-4 times, just until combined (this is the key to maintaining the “fresh” flavor!) Pour and enjoy!

I can’t believe that I’ve finished my second week already… 

Actually, let me rephrase:  I can’t believe I’ve finished my second week…period.  Every step I took on every run was pain.  My calves are knotted up and my knees feel like brittle branches one pinecone away from breaking.  I feel like the pace of these workouts is increasing too rapidly.  It cast doubt as to whether or not I can finish into every corner of my mind as I laced up for each day’s gauntlet.  I say gauntlet, because it truly feels like every molehill, gust of wind, ray of sunshine, skinny girl in spandex and pebble that lay before me was conspiring to stop me.  I’m sure I was a sight to see, wincing in pain with that bitter-beer face scrunched up, as I made my way though the run.

The cool part about my week though was that I heard from several people in the company about their own struggles to be consistent…  whether that was in workouts or diets or what-have-you.  It was actually encouraging for me to see that I was not alone in my increasing desire to quit or to go easy.  I think I was under the impression that it was a cakewalk for them- like somehow they had it all together because they seemed better off than me.  The real interesting part is how different we all are- how we are in such different spots in our health and fitness (and in life) and yet, somehow, we can still relate.

There are a group of women from my work that can literally run circles around me…  one actually did because I was plodding along so slowly (I was harnessing my inner turtle!).  They are in such better shape than I am, but are still challenged daily with eating right and exercising to the standards they’ve set for themselves.  In that sense we are very much in the same boat- in a constant state of construction to erect discipline and devotion in our lives.  Since they made themselves vulnerable, I benefitted and became empowered to forge ahead knowing new challenges await me!

It makes me think about my life outside of training and how when I’m going through a difficult time, I may be reluctant to share in that with someone. There may be fear of sounding weak or like a drama-king… or it could be that I just don’t want to burden anyone with my problems.  The crazy thing is that sharing hardships isn’t just about you dumping on someone else about your life.  It can help the other person (or people) to gain perspective- to see that their situation is better off than yours!  It can also foster an environment where the person you’re unloading on feels safe to discuss their own challenges.  Finally, it gives someone else the opportunity to pour love and compassion into you which can do wonders for their own self-apathy.  Nothing works better to pull you out of your mud-hole like doing something for someone else!

The parallels between running or working out and real life is staggering to me.  I was always a sucker for a good sports analogy, but living it out and seeing fruit has been quite the maturation process.  I have definitely reaped more than I bargained for in accepting this 5k challenge.  The encouragement and advice I get from my support system at Designer Whey is profound.  Someday I will be on the other end of this and that gets me excited.

I’m curious to hear what workout epiphanies you’ve realized?  Leave a comment and I look forward to doing this again next week…  why don’t you have your people call my people and we’ll do Facebook.

Alright- week one is complete.  I ran a 33:36 for my baseline 5k (yah, I’ve run 10ks in less time).  I was happy enough to complete it and actually ran the first six and a half minutes.  I’ve been drinking Designer Whey’s new shakes three times a day along with a pee-load of water!  I’ve found that my body needs it though- craves it actually. It’s been one of the harder things I’ve done in life- getting back into shape, but I am thankful for the support I’m getting here at Designer Whey headquarters and from my family & friends… even from a couple of you.

Boy, did I have ideas of grandeur for this blog.  I was expecting epic tragedy, drama galore…  and perhaps a little gore.

Well, I completed the first of eight weeks without any of that (not even a skinned knee to put one of my wife’s Hello! Kitty band-aids on!).  I mean, stick the mic in my face in the middle of one of my workouts last week and you may have gotten a different story. Check that, you absolutely would have. 

If I could have even uttered words between my labored breathing, a mouse-like wheeze, and the incessant spitting- it would have sounded something like: “ohmygosh… whow- this…   whew- sucks…  whow- killmenowplease…”  And if I could have somehow texted while jogging (that’s not against the law in California, I checked)- it would have read something like: “omg! tskmnp!” (see above for translation). 

I’m a few days removed now… I am writing this after the fact- after the math of 5 days x 3 miles a day = 15 miles for my first week!  I can talk about it as a good experience at this point because that week is over- I have distance and time from it…  I’ve had healing.  It’s kind of like life and relationships actually.  When in the midst of a trial we are standing so close to it that it’s difficult to see purpose, reward or meaning.  Yet, after we’ve passed through the fire, usually what are left are little gold nuggets- knowledge, wisdom, confidence and resiliency.  These items are ours for the taking- we earned them!  They can be used to shape future experiences.  I will go into week two armed with this revelation.

So, I suppose that’s my lesson for this week.  Remember what it is to come out the other side while in the middle of my struggle.  Trust that a reward is waiting for me at week’s end- another chapter ran in my autobiographical blog.  The cool thing is that, unlike a typical autobiography, I’m actually writing this as I go.  I don’t know what the final chapter holds, but as I live and breathe, I will decide how it ends. 

I would love to hear your encouragement and any advice on our Designer Whey Facebook page.   See you next week.

On May 10 (last month) I received the most wonderful and exciting news! Designer Whey/Biggest Loser Protein had decided to bestow upon me the most wonderful gift ever! It was my birthday, so the timing couldn’t have been anymore perfect!  Biggest Loser Protein was sending me to the May 24th Biggest Loser season 11 live finale in Los Angeles, California!

My good friend Jessica Martin Peterson came with me. She knew the riggers of vying for one of the sought after spots on the Biggest Loser Ranch so I knew she would be thrilled to join me in what would surely be a life changing adventure!

What we experienced was both real and surreal! One moment we were standing in the Los Angeles airport and the next we were surrounded by ‘Reality Royalty’! We hadn’t expected to be greeted by the owners of ‘Shut Up and Sweat’ Athletic Gear, Mike and Nancy Dudley, in the Hotel lobby! They welcomed us with a bountiful array of t-shirts and hoody jackets!, they are amazing folks!, we loved getting to know them!

With in hours we found ourselves being ‘bear hugged’ by O’Neal Hampton (BL9), and Jessie Wornum (BL11)! We were chatting up Austin and Ken Andrews (BL11), Courtney and Marci Crozier (BL11), Tracy Yukich (BL8), Sarah Nitta and her Mom Denise ‘Deni‘ Hill, (BL11)… and the list goes on! All were such inspiring folks, warm and friendly! Ali Vincent, First Female Biggest Loser and Biggest Loser Protein looked beyond amazing! ….and all this happened the day before the finale! Needless to say we were in Biggest Loser heaven!!

Stephenie with Brett Hoebel

The day of the Finale, Jessica and I opted for a morning walk and healthy breakfast at Subway, on our way back we met Biggest Loser trainer Brett Hoebel! He was by far one of the most memorable folks we met! He has the most gentle spirit, very kind and genuine. He is the ‘real deal’! I hope to see him on the Ranch for seasons to come!

The Live finale was spectacular! Biggest Loser Olivia Ward was crowned the season 11 winner and every contestant was transformed and looked glowing and healthy! The evening was truly magical! After the Live Finale Jessica and I attended the ‘After Party’! Family, friends, fans, Biggest Loser current and past contestants, Biggest Loser Trainers, Biggest Loser Host Alison Sweeney, Casting Directors and more all gathered to celebrate!

On the night of the Finale I chose to wear a bright yellow dress, I opted to not wear even a stitch of black because for once I didn’t want to ‘hide’ myself….it felt good to be bright and cheery and I was proud of the 65 lbs I had lost so far! I still have at least 100 lbs to go but at the Finale and all during my Finale trip I, for once, didn’t feel judged for my weight, instead I felt supported and encouraged…I felt like a ray of sunshine and I felt beautiful ! I wanted to sample what life might feel like when I reach my healthy goal weight…and I know it’s gonna feel great!

I took this opportunity to seek some wisdom from the Biggest Loser contestants. A familiar theme rang true amongst them all. Time and time again each person I spoke with told me this; “you don’t need to go to the Biggest Loser Ranch to do this..you can do this on your own” They also said “let the show inspire and motivate you, start your journey now and on your own…the prize it getting your life back!”

Needless to say I was totally inspired and revitalized by each and every person I spoke with! I am ready to continue on my weight loss journey. I am re-fueled, humbled and ready for what ever is next! It’s one foot in front of the other…there is no magic pill, every minute is a test and a challenge and as Hannah Curlee (BL11) said “My best is good enough!”

Now that I have returned home with a new zest for life I decided to set myself a ‘goal’, a little something to focus on and train for…I’ve never done anything like this before but for me life is all about taking chances and believing in yourself…with that said I will be competing in the 2011 ‘Warrior Dash’ event in September…it’s a 3.18 ml. race located on a course filled with 10 treacherous obstacles including repelling down a mountain, climbing under barb wire through mud, jumping over fire, swimming through a lake and more…to me it’s going to be’ Survivor’ meets ‘Biggest Loser’!… I believe we all have a ‘warrior’ with in us! If you would like to participate in one of the Warrior Dash Events go to http://www.warriordash.com/

I have been getting lots of great tips on how to train for my run reading the DesignerWhey blog ‘Training for a for a 5k‘…check it out..it is filled with important information on how to get started and be successful! http://www.designerwhey.com/blog/author/5k/

Happy ‘beginning of summer’ everyone!! See you back here in July!

It’s been a little longer than I would have liked since my last post, but the past few weeks have held a few surprises.  After a couple of “almosts” and a few “false alarm” trips to the hospital, our little bundle of joy (finally) arrived at 38 weeks. Weighing in at a healthy 7lbs 9oz, all of the hard work from the past nine months seems to blur into a peaceful sigh.

Lying in the hospital bed laboring away is difficult (they don’t call it “labor” for nothing, right?). With only clear fluids (water, juice, broth, etc.) and maybe a Jell-o cup here and there to sustain you, it’s no wonder we get cranky! Like most people (especially those who are pregnant) I don’t do well without food. Labor or not, I was HUNGRY! I honestly considered begging the hubby to sneak me in a sandwich, but then he reminded me that across the street from the hospital was a GNC. If I could have liquids, I could have some Designer Whey Protein-2GO! Ten grams of protein would help tame my growling tummy and give me the energy I needed to work through this final hurdle. The Orange Mango flavor was so yummy I think I made the nurses a little jealous! As you can see below, that “extra pick me up” definitely helped and made things (including my hunger monster) a lot easier to deal with.

In the coming weeks as we settle into our new routine as a family of five, there are bound to be times that I will need a little extra energy (what parent doesn’t). Knowing that I can reach for Protein-2GO to help me through the day (or night) is a true comfort. I plan to keep a stash in the car, the diaper bag and of course, mommy’s “snack” cabinet! I even sent my Mom-in-law home with a few to try. Now the real fun begins!

Everyone faces constant struggles with life, relationships, and other, but though we all face the same battles, we all respond differently to the situations. For some find solace with food, others head right to the bar and tavern, but for me, the moment I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders I head right for the gym or the track. My “coping” mechanism is to use exercise, rather than to use a substance or a vice. I luckily turned what could easily be a negative habit, into what has become a positive. Without failing, the moment I feel stressed or overwhelmed with life and RELATIONSHIPS, I instinctively get into my car and head to the gym or to the track, and relieve that stress in the healthiest and MOST EFFECTIVE of ways; by exercising. Nothing helps me clear my mind greater than the feeling I get after an “angry” or “frustrated” workout or run. All the testosterone that is raising my anxiety and blood pressure dissolves with each set or lap. If you tend to turn to cigarettes, alcohol, or even food to provide the feeling of euphoria which you may momentarily receive, it only takes a few days to turn what is a harmful reaction to a positive reaction. It will initially take a conscious effort at first, but I promise you, like me, you will soon turn what could be potentially a destructive habit into a healthful and beneficial habit. Before you reach for the cigarette or the beer, or the ice cream, take a deep breath, put on your sneakers and head to the gym or the track.

My name’s David and I’m blogging and jogging my way to a 5k. Yah, that’s 3.1 miles…  I used to race that distance through high school- used to have a passion for running.  Fun runs, as they are called, used to be actually…  well, fun.  I think I found them to be a good time because usually I was racing for a win or a personal best, but a back injury and a shift in priorities saw me gaining weight.  Running wasn’t fun anymore. 

My exercise had been relegated to a myriad of board sports- primarily surfing, which has always been near to my soul.  My cardiovascular health, or lack thereof, had been so greatly affected that paddling out has become increasingly difficult…  and surviving a wipeout or a large outside set (a periodic grouping of larger waves- I got you middle America!) was proving dangerous…

[queue dreamy-fog flashback]

A gray Saturday morning saw a sucking tide that was causing the waves to pitch forward- a late drop curve ball sent me hurling out in front of the wave- out in the flats with my arms over my head.  I slapped hard on my right side- effectively knocking the wind out of me while the set continued to march in.  Gasping for air between waves, my body was tingling as I felt my strength being sapped by the tumultuous undertow. 

I was panicked- 8 years as a beach lifeguard and over 20 years surfing experience mattered not. The waves were like mini tornadoes of kelp and salt laid on their side.  Salt water invaded my nose and throat- an unlawful entry that burned and weakened my resolve.  And then nothing…  the waves had subsided leaving me chin deep in a swirling, frothy, white aftermath of a set unridden.  My leash had held, so i grabbed my board, clutching it like a drowning rat and awkwardly laid on it as the next set of waves drove me to shore. 

This experience wasn’t going to scare me out of the water- I’d had many similar experiences before, but not when I was in such poor shape.  A wake up call had been issued.

I’m about 50lbs overweight and at least 5 years overdue…  for a change.  I work at Designer Whey and noticed a 5k Training Plan put on by our marketing department.  I have access to all things Designer Whey- so I thought, all the tools for success are literally down the hallway… amazing Designer Whey products, support and expertise.  I committed to the challenge and am going to start by “running” a 5k for a baseline time. This time will be used to compare to a final 5k after the 8 weeks of training.  I don’t have a specific time goal…  I can’t even run one mile, let alone three. 

I will be blogging and jogging weekly…  my anguish for your entertainment, your sympathy…  better yet- your inspiration.  It’s a lot easier to say look what I did- you can do it too!  than to say, this is what I am purposing myself to achieve- join me.  At the risk of sounding like a paid endorser (which I am not- I get product and support for free), I will say people, if I can do this- you can do this.  So, if you’re reading this and you want to help encourage me (I would sincerely love that) or you want to let me know how things are going for you in your own 5k challenge- leave comments on the Designer Whey Facebook page. 

My stomach is in a wash cycle of nerves, anticipation and excitement all at the same time, but this is going to be good…  this is going to be great.

If you’re like us, you’re probably amazed at the transformations The Biggest Loser Contestants undergo by season’s end.  Just how do past BL contestants keep the weight off once they leave the ranch? They run marathons…the BOSTON marathon that is!

Ask anyone who’s ever run a 5K, let alone a full marathon, and they’ll tell you how important it is to have a good training program in place.  A combination of cross-training, stretching and of course, long runs will get even a beginning runner across the finish line. What runners might not tell you is how important protein is when training for an endurance event.  Protein is needed for the repair of broken down muscle caused during high endurance events like marathons. The Biggest Loser Protein is loaded with the Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) the key amino acids which fuel intense training and are vital to recovery.

With the help of The Biggest Loser Protein, Patrick House and Adam Hurtado crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon like the true champions they are. We recently caught up with Patrick and Adam, who just so happen to be among our favorite The Biggest Losers from Season 10.  Here’s how they trained, fueled up with Biggest Loser Protein and completed one of the toughest marathons in the country:

1.  A year ago, would you have ever imagined you would be running a marathon?  

Patrick:  No way.  If you would have told me a year ago I would be running the 2011 Boston Marathon, I would have pulled a stomach muscle laughing.

Adam: Never in my wildest dreams!

2.  Which did you find more physically challenging:  A typical training session on the Ranch or running the  Boston Marathon?

Patrick: I would say the Boston Marathon simply because of the time frame of doing the marathon as compared to a Ranch workout.  Ranch workouts were usually about 3 hours.  The marathon is 4-5 hours or more.

Adam:  Tough question but my hat is off to the Boston Marathon. It was a true mental challenge.

3.  How did you prepare for the Boston Marathon?

Patrick:  I prepared for the Boston Marathon by running 3 days a week, different distances and paces, and doing one long run a week, building up gradually to a 18 mile run 2 weeks before the marathon.  Then I tapered down my training to get ready for the run.

Adam:  I prepared for Boston with a combination of running, spinning, weight training & yoga/stretching.

4.  What role did The Biggest Loser Protein play in your preparation for the marathon?

Patrick:  The Biggest loser Protein was really important to my training schedule.  I always ate a protein bar or made a shake after my runs to help refuel my body.

Adam:  I used The Biggest Loser Protein pre & post workout to stay fueled for my workouts as well as to repair my muscles after training.

5.   What was your time?  Where you satisfied with your time?

Patrick:  My time was 5:12:38, which is not blazing by any means, but it is 33 minutes faster than my Biggest Loser marathon time.  I improved and I am proud of that.  I am scheduled to run Boston again next year, with about 3 or 4 marathons between now and then.  Hopefully I will put up a better time next year and keep improving.

Adam:  My time was 6hrs & 42 seconds. I was extremely satisfied to have finished! It was a very humbling experience. I was honored to be able to run for the American Liver Foundation’s Run for Research Team.

6.  What advice would you give someone who is struggling with his/her weight and wants to make a change, but doesn’t know how?

Patrick:  I always say that you have to start small.  Make and set small goals for yourself and as you achieve them, your self confidence and self esteem will improve also.  Anyone can do what I have done.  They just have to draw their line in the dirt and say they are not going to live the same lifestyle they have been living. 

Adam:  I would recommend the resources that I turned to when returning home from The Biggest Loser Ranch. I relied on the support of my family, friends, and decided it was my time to change. Food journaling, no fast foods, no soda, and the addition of The Biggest Loser Protein to my diet kick started my weight loss journey.

7.  What was the best advice you’ve ever received with regards to your Biggest Loser Journey?

Patrick:  I remember Bob telling me early on that I didn’t gain 200 lbs overnight, and in the same sense, I am not going to lose 200 lbs overnight.  I knew losing weight was going to be hard, so I prepared myself mentally for that going into the journey.  I feel like I really made the most of my time.

Adam:  The best advice I’ve received was from my brother Ryan. He said, “To never stop believing in myself. Rest assured that your whole family is behind you & that we love you no matter what the outcome may be.” Ryan was my inspiration and motivation to get healthy like he had himself. 

8.   What fun and challenging events do you have planned in the near future?

Patrick:  I have a couple more marathons planned.  I want to run NYC Marathon.  I also am planning on trying to run the Cayman Island marathon in December.  My brother lives down there, so that should be a lot of fun. 

Adam:  I am cycling 100 miles this Sunday May 1st in LA to raise money for the American Diabetes Assoc. Also, I just signed up for the 2011 NYC Marathon! I’m hooked. Thank you The Biggest Loser Protein for properly fueling my demanding nutritional needs! I appreciate all of your support.

Runners: pay attention to what and how much you’re drinking. It can’t be emphasized enough. Drink enough water before, during and after any form of exercise.

Not properly hydrated? Skimping on water can lead to fatigue and muscle cramping.

Here’s the bottom line on proper hydration:

• On runs of an hour or more, carry water with you and consume 6-8 oz. every 20 minutes.
• During pre-training and 5K, 10K or Marathon training, weigh yourself before and after each run and get your body weight back to the weight it was before the run by drinking water or sports drink within the first hours after the run. 
• If you’re doing a long run or race (more than 8 to 10 miles), make sure you’re well-hydrated during the few days leading up to your long run. 
• Avoid cocktails for at least one week before your race. Alcohol dehydrates you and disrupts a good night’s sleep, something every runner needs before race day. Running with a hangover? Not a good idea. You’ll start your run dehydrated.

 Here’s How To Start:

• An hour before your run, drink 16 to 24 ounces of water or other non-caffeinated, sugar-free fluid
• Stop drinking at that point or you’ll find yourself waiting in long lines for the Port-o-Pot, a surefire way to kill your time
• Drink another 4 to 8 ounces right before you start to make sure you’re hydrated before your run

 Drinking on the Run

• During your runs, take in 4 to 6 ounces of water every 20 minutes
• During longer workouts (90 minutes or more), drink a sports drink to replace lost sodium and other minerals (electrolytes)

If you don’t have access to water on your running routes, you’ll have to carry your own fluids with you. Here are some handy water bottles that you can use while you run:

Don’t worry about carrying water if you’re running in a race, there will be plenty of water stations along the course.

Post-Run Hydration

• Rehydrate with water or a sports drink after your run
• If your urine is dark yellow after your run, you need to keep rehydrating. Drink until it’s a pale yellow color.

Just as a car runs best with a full tank of gas, your body needs the right kind of “nutritional fuel” for peak performance. Training for a race? Make sure you’re refueling your muscles with protein. Everyday!

Protein, and only protein, provides your body with the amino acids it needs to build and repair muscle tissue. Protein also provides the necessary components to keep your immune system healthy and make hormones, enzymes, skin, hair, nails, organs and blood.

Ask any athlete, bodybuilder or fitness junkie what their most important source of protein is and you’ll get the same answer: Whey Protein. It is the one protein source that consistently lives up to the hype and delivers every time! Studies back-up the claim of how valuable pure whey protein is. Hands down, it produces the best results for beginning athletes all the way to the pro’s.

Protein Pre-Race? You bet!
Around 30-45 minutes before your run, have a pre-workout meal. The first component of this meal – you guessed it – is protein. Protein will keep your body in an anabolic state throughout your workout and will help to prevent muscle breakdown as you train.

How much protein you ask? 30-40 grams of whey protein should do the trick. Short on time? Mix two scoops Designer Whey Protein Powder, 1 cup skim milk and a handful of ice cubes in a blender. You’re off and running.

Whey protein makes for a great pre-workout choice because it is naturally high in BCAA’s, which help to prevent muscle catabolism (muscle loss & fat gain) during your workout. Mixing your whey with milk is a good idea because this will slow down the release of the protein and provide your body with a steady stream of amino acids throughout your workout.

Your Run’s Over. Time to Refuel
After exercise is when your body needs protein the most—when your tank is on “empty.” You have a 30-minute window, post-workout, where your body is most receptive to refueling. That’s why protein is most effective when taken immediately following a workout (within 30 minutes). University studies have confirmed that the faster protein enters the body, the quicker and more thorough your recovery. Next time you work out, your body will feel the difference.

So after your workout, make sure you refuel your body and build your muscles with your favorite Designer Whey products. You can find delicious shake recipes at www.designerwhey.com.
