Coach B's Daily Ritual

How do you get ready to have the most successful day via nutrition? 
Below is a little insight to Coach B's daily ritual =
pre cardio 15g protein

90% of your success is from nutrition and how you plan your day.
No plan = no success.....simple



What you do not want your day to look like:

Brussel Sprouts Challenge

The Brussel Sprout :-) or :-(
Yes from my early childhood I dreaded the evil sprout at the dinner table. I do remember having long battles with my parents sitting at the dinner table after hearing my mother say,"you are not leaving the table until you are done your brussel sprouts, how are you going to get strong"ah she even knew back then what buttons to push. I would then give in, plug my nose and swallow the sprouts whole....haha then look at my muscles (things have not changed!)


NOW....I love Brussel Sprouts! They rock.... I FEEL GREAT AFTER EATING BRUSSEL SPROUTS!
