Protein Blueberry Muffins

-

What you will need:
2 scoops of Blueberry & Creme protein [Muscle Milk is fantastic]
1 whole egg
3 egg whites
2-3 tbsp rolled oats
2 packets of Splenda with Fiber
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 sprays of "Can't Believe It's Not Butter" spray
1/4 cup of water
Cupcake pan

In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients together.  Mix thoroughly.  The batter should be thick and have a sticky consistency.  Spoon about a tablespoon and half into greased cupcake pan* or fill a little over halfway.  Makes about 4 muffins.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Place filled cupcake pan in oven.  Bake until batter rises.  Decrease heat to 300 degrees and cook until centers are baked all the way through.  Test with knife by sticking all the way in the middle.  If it comes out clean, take out of oven.  Immediately remove from pan and cool.**

*I do not recommend using cupcake papers.

This mixture can also be turned into protein pancakes.  Only do 1 scoop of protein, no spray butter, and heat greased/nonstick pan on medium heat.  Pour batter.  When you see the batter bubble, flip.  Enjoy with turkey sausage and agave nectar.

**  you can also add powdered supplements to this like lysine, fiber, and any other non or low taste supplement powders.

Hundreds of competitors flock to Chicago, Illinois for the 2011 NPC Junior Nationals Competition [about 30 of those competitors from Colorado].  When first getting the skinny on what was going on, only about 4-6 competitors from Colorado were called out for Top 10.  This is a huge feat as Erica Cobb pointed out "the competition is STIFF".  Erica competed in Bikini Class D with her team mates Jesse Lehman who competed Physique Class A and Lana Hofman who competed Figure Class E.  Though none of them earned their Pro Cards, they will make a comeback at the USAs in July. 10th Place Bikini Class D 7th Place Figure Class E 4th Place Physique Class A Congratulations MissFits & Mayhem on a beautiful performance.  You all worked very hard and know exactly what needs to be done to blow them out of the water in July. **Other Top 10 Colorado competitors included Alex Carneiro, his wife Katherine, and Christina Hefner

Say A Little Prayer For Me

It was a busy day for The Gym as it began well before sunrise.  Lana Hofman, Erica Cobb, and Jesse Lehmen head to Chicago, IL with their coach, Chris Williamson, and The Gym support team to compete at NPC Junior Nationals.  Upon sending them off, Erica met me with a gleam in her eye and a huge smile.  "I just want Saturday to get here.  I'm feeling really good."  It was refreshing to see how pumped she was. What most people do not understand is this show is a qualifier for your Pro Card and by two weeks out; your body and mind are usually fighting themselves.  They ache, feel sick, mentally & physcially are drained, and sometimes fight to keep motivated.  It takes a lot for these competitors to compete let alone compete nationally.  I commend these athletes for their time commitment, their motivation even if they have a few doubts, and their willingness to be vulnerable in front of thousands of people.  They are some the strongest, most inspirational people . . . th

 VS   Electrolytes are the smallest of chemicals that are important for the cells in the body to function and allow the body to work. Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and others are critical in allowing cells to generate energy, maintain the stability of their walls, and to function in general. They generate electricity, contract muscles, move water and fluids within the body, and participate in myriad other activities. The concentration of electrolytes in the body is controlled by a variety of hormones, most of which are manufactured in the kidney and the adrenal glands. Sensors in specialized kidney cells monitor the amount of sodium, potassium, and water in the bloodstream. The body functions in a very narrow range of normal, and it is hormones like renin (made in the kidney), angiotensin (from the lung, brain and heart), aldosterone (from the adrenal gland), and antidiuretic hormone (from the pituitary) that keep the electrolyte balance within those normal limits.
