If you don't have a peanut allergy, most likely, you enjoy peanuts! Peanuts are often times the go to for vegetarians and vegans as well, as they offer a great source of protein. However, if you aren't careful you will find that your waistline will start expanding from eating the peanuts. Most of us love the flavor of peanut butter, but we have to be so careful. That is why, I was so excited when Pure Goodness asked me to try out their Powdered Peanut Butter. So here are a few fun facts about the product:
- Powdered Peanut Butter has 7 grams of protein
-Powdered Peanut Butter has 90% less fat than other products... How? They make their product by slowly roasting quality peanuts, gently pressed to remove 90% of fat.As all of you know, I'm on prep and preparing for my competition so I have to really watch what I eat and intake. Though I absolutely loved this product (it's so easy to make it as a spread as well), all you have to do is add water (be careful with adding the water, the amount of water you add should be based on the consistency, texture that you want) and mix/stir to get the consistency that you want, I couldn't really fully enjoy it because of the carbs.
Right now, I'm entering the part of my prep where I'm low carving, which for me is virtually no carbs, so I can't really eat this product.However, I would suggest this to anyone that loves peanut butter, but doesn't want all of the fat.
What I love about this company though, is their commitment to ending hunger! Their mission is to provide meals to children in need, a cause I too am interested in!
Overall, I would definitely recommend this product. It taste great and it's a great, healthy option for someone that is health conscious! Give them a try and visit their website www.mypuregoodness.com. The Powdered Peanut Butter is currently sold out, but check back frequently to see when they have more in stock. They also offer other amazing products that are worth a try! Check them out today!

Goji Berry
Acai

If you look at the ingredients a lot of it comes from fibre. And we wouldn't really count what they count as carbs at all as most aid in the digestion process.
We found that it tasted good, clean and mixed well with water when we tried it. The company recommends to add about 8oz of liquid. At Train It Right we recommend water, almond milk or cashew milk for easy digestion. Mix it in a shaker cup for best results and enjoy.

It's the New Year so a lot of us are looking to jumpstart our weight loss journey for the year. One way that many around the world do so is my cleansing. Juice cleanses are cleanses that have grown in popularity in recent years.
I recently decided to purchase a juice cleanse system and my results were amazing!
I decided upon the Blueprint Organic cleansing system, specifically the
Foundation Cleanse. I chose this cleanse because I desperately needed detox. Not only did I need to detox my body, I needed to detox my mind, body and soul which led me to the Foundation Cleanse. The Foundation Cleanse is centered around veggie based juices more so than fruit juices. According to their website, this cleanse triggers body digestion and detox that can help with managing weight.
I decided to do a 5 day cleanse which means that I ate no solid foods. I only drank 6 juices a day. I spaced the juices out to a juice every 2-3 hours.
The first day was easy, I believe it was due to my excitement. However, by the second day, things got a little harder. I was determined to stick to the cleanse no matter what because I wanted the results and I'm happy to say that by the 3rd day of the cleanse I no longer had a desire for solid food, instead, I craved the juices. As I stuck to drinking the juice 2-3 hours a part and drinking water, I must say I personally didn't experience much hunger during ANY of the days.
RESULTS
After the cleanse, I lost 8 pounds. My skin also appeared to clear up and I had a surge of energy by the 3rd day of the cleanse as well. By the 4th day, my brain fog was completely lifted and I found myself thinking clearer, feeling more positive and feeling lighter!
If you're looking for a cleanse to jumpstart your weight and to help you mentally, I would suggest this one. You never realize how much your eating is dictated and determined by your emotions until you do a cleanse. This cleanse helped me to become more mindful of that and helped me jumpstart my new healthy journey.
I do however suggest that you do research and speak to your doctor first before you start any type of extreme cleanse like this. I would also suggest that you research all of the cleanses that are on the market and know what you're looking to do to help you decide what brand and type of cleanse you want to do.
Hey Everyone! I hope you're having a great weekend. I wanted to let you know about my new product discovery and give you a review! I have tons of headphones, buds, and earphones that I use from day to day during strength training, walking, running, and other forms of cardio. I even use them to listen to music on my daily commute. However, do you know what really grinds my gears? TANGLE HEADPHONES! Because I am always taking them on and off between working out, commuting and clients I always throw them in my gym bag, back pack or purse. The next time that I want to use them I go to grab them and waste time trying to untangle them. My time is valuable and I hate wasting my time but I also hate working out in silence or bad radio music that the gym plays! But now that I use the CORDSKINZ my ear buds never get tangle, I save time and frustration! I absolutely love them!!!!!!!
What is cool is that they have all sorts of products and you can cut them to fit any brand of ear buds. they are also affordable!!!! Check out their product listing here: http://cordskinz.com/collections/all
A little bit about the company:
Story:
In the spring of 2011 while making a phone call to her sister, one of our founders got frustrated with her tangled earbuds for the last time. It didn't take long to discover that the same struggle and frustration with this tangled mess was shared by many others around the world. The result? Our ingenious, yet simple little product named Cordskinz was born.
Since that spring day, we at Abba Daddy have devoted our time to fine-tuning a product that would give the world the solution to their problem and allow them to start living
the "Untangled Life."
Mission:
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
It is our mission at Abba Daddy LLC to give back to the world. We believe it is important to lift one another up and express the love of God in action. Below are some of the organizations that we will be supporting in their efforts to help people "Untangle their Lives" with their specific callings.
Thank you so much for helping me live an "untangled life" Cordskinz!!!!!! I absolutely love your product!
Let me know if you get a pair and how you like them guys!
Lost It? Find It? - TrackR
I was browsing through Best Buy Canada and I came across this little white box that caught my eye. It read: Lost It? Find It? - TrackR. Since I am always on the go in and out of gyms, clients homes, track and field facilities, my car and constantly traveling to different locations for meetings I am always loosing things. So the idea of the TrackR is perfect for me.
This little guy can be attached to your phone, put on your keys, on your bicycle, in your wallet or any electronic device that you use on a day to day basis. It can be 3M adhesively attached to any device. It can also be tied to a keychain, back pack or even your dog.
Once you download the software/app and set up your account (which is very easy) you are good to go. The app is compatible with:
- Iphone 4S Or Later
- IPad with retina display or IPad mini or later
- iOS 7 and later
- Android 4.4 and later
Once you realize that you have lost whatever item your TrackR is attached to press your TrackR device button to ring. Even if you phone is on silent you will find it! What a great idea! Also if you log into the app you can ring your item and find it whevever it may be. If you still don't hear the ringer it has a GPS where you can see the location of the item. It also comes with a one year warranty.
The TrackR is definitely TRAIN IT RIGHT Approved! Grab yours HERE.
SMS Audio - On Ear Wired Sport
This past week I received a package from SMS Audio. The package contained two sets of headphones. One of which I have included here. The SMS Audio - On Ear Wired Sport. In Pink and black! My favourite colours. These headphones came with a great travel case for on the go transport. It is hard shelled so if you are like me and just throw your head phones in your bag this will keep them safe. They also came with a workout towel! How convenient. It actually is soft to touch vs some of the sweat towels where if you have dry skin or a callous your hands immediately stick to the towel.
I quickly put the head phones to work and headed down to the gym for a cardio session. They were very comfortable. Didn't move and I immediately noticed the extra long cord. This is key for wired head phones because it means you have lots of room and don't have to worry about pulling on the cord when doing exercises or HIIT training.
On top of all these other great features the sound quality is what I would call "saudi." Crips and clear.
Overall I would give them a 9/10. I would love to have a wireless version. That would give the headphones an overall 10/10. These are definitely TRAIN IT RIGHT APPROVED! Thanks SMS for these great workout headphones in my two favourite colours pink and black!

My New Monster iSport Wireless Headphones from @bestbuycanada @monster_canada - Train It Right
I have been needed a new pair of headphones for working out for quite some time. When I saw the Monster Isport headphones on the bestbuy website I knew that they would be great for me! They were wireless, which meant that there was no cord to get in the way when I was lifting, running, jumping or just commuting. My life is so hectic and I am always on the go so these would be perfect for working out and my life in general.
They arrived quickly and I soon put them to work! First of all I was so impressed by the sound quality. I have had a lot of different head phones over the past years but these are by far the BEST SOUNDING headphones that I have ever had for working out! Secondly they did not fall off during my high intensity workouts or even when I was doing cardio! I never had to adjust them and obviously there were no cords in the way. I also was particularly impressed how quick they pair to my devices and I like the option of being able to switch songs right on the headset. I literally never have to touch my iPod or phone once they are paired to change a song. According to the site they are good for up to 10m paired but I am sure that I have gone further from my iPod and they have still worked! Also the charge lasts forever. It's been a week and I still haven't had to recharge them. Im sure the time is coming soon. They are suppose to last up to 30 hours of continuous play.
Although the headphones are great. You all know that my favourite colour is pink! I wish that they came in pink then I would be the happiest girl in the world. The green is growing on me. I like that it is bright. It's still taking some getting use to having something in this colour.
More details on the headphones:
Overview
Break a sweat with the Monster Bluetooth iSport headphones. Get classic Monster sound with booming bass and crystal clear ranges delivered through powerful 40mm drivers, on a wireless design that lets you run, skip, jump and play for over 30 hours without getting tangled in cords or dead batteries.
