As someone who spends time working on myself in the gym, as well as building programs and leading others through routines to better themselves for a healthier life, I often look for great tasting and easy to digest protein to keep me fueled.
I tried quite a few different protein brands out there but not many stand out to me like Orgain! Orgain has a line of RTD or āready to drinkā shakes that are great for those like you and I who are always on the go. Available in regular and plant based, these great tasting shakes pack 29 grams of good, quality proteins while measuring up at only 150 calories.
I like these shakes so much that I decided to put my name on it and become a brand ambassador for them! That means that you too can now enjoy these great tasting protein shakes, or any other product from their site, at discounted prices ššš»šŖš».
If youāre looking to save time (and money) go grab yourself a box of these delicious shakes. Theyāre now my āgo-toā protein and great for anyone with an āon the goā life!

Thanksgiving Survival Guide
Tips on how to ālimit the diet damageā as we ready ourselves to enjoy a Thanksgiving Feast:
1. Focus on the Fun. Enjoy the time with family and do fun activities, make memories, even go for a walk if the weather allows
2. Create a calorie buffer. Consider a fast up to the time you would sit for Thanksgiving Dinner. For me, I stopped intake around 8pm the night before and then plan to have the dinner ready around 1pm or so on Thanksgiving (or whenever you can celebrate). If youāre like our family, we often work holidays so our festivities are often on other days
3. Limit snacking/grazing. Itās really hard to fill up a days worth of calories in one meal, but it can be quite easy to consume a lot of empty calories on snacks. Save the room for your āmust havesā.
4. Stay active. Try and get a workout in before sitting for dinner
5. Get back on your post holiday healthy lifestyle once your celebration feast is done.
Most importantly, have fun and be safe! Enjoy the time with family and friends while consuming some great tasting food. Moderation is your key š to success!

Halloween Wellness Survival Guide:
1. Donāt purchase more than you need.
2. Keep it out of sight and out of reach until trick or treating starts.
3. Treat yourself to a piece or two, but stop there.
4. Hand out all of it on Halloween. If you canāt, donate it or throw it away.
5. If you fall off your healthy routine, donāt throw in the towel. Just wake up the next day and start fresh. One day wonāt necessarily derail your progress substantially.
6. Eat a filling, healthy meal prior to taking the candy out. Make sure you stay well hydrated. Often, itās the thirst that makes us think weāre hungry.
