Saying good bye to 2020

 Saying good bye to 2020


I have many goals I am wanting to achieve in 2021. I'm not into a lot of New Years resolutions, but with the year that 2020 was, it would be great to start off in a good direction. 

In October I will turn 50, so my major goal for that is to get in 50 mile mountain bike ride. This past year I was able to hammer down a 26 mile ride and felt pretty good doing it. With some better nutrition before and during the ride, as well getting stronger off and on the bike. 

Of course for a lot of people is setting a goal of losing weight, which wouldn't be a bad idea for me, but it's not the main priority. 

There are a few training programs I have already, that I just need to buckle down and get strict with following them through.

CleanBlender



Not just a blender, a CleanBlend Blender. 
Check them out at 

www.cleanblend.com



I've been using this commercial grade, high speed CleanBlend Blender for over a month now. 
The blender is strong and does not lack at all in the power department. 
Using it to blend my protein shakes, bullet proof coffee and smoothies.
You will find yourself surfing the net to find recipes of all kinds.  It is powerful. It has a three horse power motor and a 64 ounce pitcher. 
The six blades are fast and powerful. 



I love how the pitcher has ounces marked along the side, to help you measure liquids being put inside. 




Bullet Proof Coffee Recipe I use

Brew hot coffee, using 8 ounces.  

Using the CleanBlend blender (not a shaker), blend in 1-2 tablespoons unsalted, grass-fed butter.

I then add 1 teaspoon-2 tablespoons of coconut oil.

I also add a small packet of Stevia to add sweetness. 






The center portion of the blenders lid can be removed and replaced with a tamper, to make sure everything gets pushed down near or two the blades, but does not hit the blades. 
This is very helpful when using frozen fruits or leafy greens that are stubborn heading to the blades. 
I also used it to blend a waffle batter mixture for my son's breakfast. I used the tamper to keep the batter moving in the pitcher. 







There is an all fruit smoothie, I have tried before and it’s pretty good. Now with the clean blender you can make your own and keep money in your own pocket. Full of vitamin C to help support your immune system

simply use 

12 strawberries

1 banana 

the recipe calls for 3/4 cup of pear, but I’ll go ahead and just use the whole thing

and 1 apple, I like the taste of Pink Lady apples, so there you go. 


At times I like to make other smoothies. Instead of searching the internet or other apps, there is a recipe on the side of a certain brand of smoothies. They show what's inside their product. Use their recipe on the side and make it your own by adding or omitting what you like or don't like.

2018 is here!

2018 is here!
I have some big goals and ideas I want to tackle here in 2018.  A big one is incorporating more weights in my workouts. Becoming stronger on the road and mountain bike. I have been putting together a workout and training plan that will help me improve not only my power on the bike but endurance as well.
As I get started with my training program for the year, I am continuing my roller workouts either at my house or bringing the rollers with me.

2016 is just around the corner.....

2016 is just around the corner and I have been working on a list of races and rides/runs/swims I would like to complete.
Sure, I have been thinking about 2016 for awhile. A month or two to be exact. Of course it always helps to write these down to make sure they happen or force yourself into completing them because you are now accountable for them.
What's on your list?
