Amino Blast by tophercouture   With training, comes recovery.  It is important to 'lift your performance to a higher level' with a glutamine and branched-chain amino complex.   Before I go over some cut and paste about the product, let me tell you why I like it. I have tried a plethora of BCAA/Amino powders and pills.  What I love the most about this product is its mix-ability.  If you have tried 1001 different brands like me, you will notice that a lot of the complexes leave a film, chunks, or froth after shaking.  This Amino Boost has zero!!!  I know I won't get an Amino-stache and that my full serving is going into my body.  No scrapping the sides or adding more water. I also really love its crisp and refreshing taste along with a serving of glutamine.  There are quite a few brands out there that do not include Glutamine which means you usually have to buy it separately.  It will cost you almost double per serv...

Self sabotage very rarely hurts just self.  Like a bomb, it has a radius.  Usually causing the ones closest to us to be defenseless against a shock wave of guilt, disappointment, hurt, humiliation, etc.  Self Sabotage is a projectile that ultimately will destroy the best things for us.  It takes away the ability to grow and thrive in so many instances.  It also takes away a lot of choices not just from us but from others.  This form of control keeps our wounds open.  It withholds forgiveness, hope, love, affection, etc.  It clouds our judgement and our true selves.   Check yourself  often .  Check your heart.   Check your motives.  Check your attitude.

One of my favorite things about the 2014 Six Pack Bag: Renee is how many pockets and compartments there are. I found if I took out the snap in shelves, you can fit 6 meals [not the intended 4].  Travel fit! This bag is a staple when traveling as an NPC competitor.  #leadthepack Renee by tophercouture on Polyvore Renee Tote - Bags sixpackbags.com Snap Lid Containers - Set of 6 - Containers & Gel Packs - Accessories... sixpackbags.com Six Pack Bags UK sixpackbags.co.uk

Recovery Is Important by tophercouture on Polyvore We spend hours in the gym training, sweating, and pushing ourselves to the limits.  What many athletes forget is that we also need just as much [if not more] recovery.   One of my favorite mixes that helps with my recovery is Allmax Aminocore Cherry Lime stacked with their Glutamine powder.  Refreshing taste.  Can be taken pre-intra-post.   When I am trying to kick my sweet tooth I add fresh lime juice and a few drops of MIO to an ice cube tray with the recovery mix.  Mini popsicles!!!
