I work out! (well not yet... but I need to)

So.

I'm lactose intolerant now and have no idea what to drink after a workout. I have hydrolyzed whey, but can't put it in milk... Mix it with water and it tastes like soggy ass. SIGH!

I too am lactose free. Add you Whey to 8oz of Vanilla flavored Almond Milk and add in whatever frozen fruit you like the taste of... blend.

Alternatively, you can use Soy milk... but in my experience... it tastes like butt... and is filled with estrogen... so I tend to avoid it and stick to more protein rich Almond milk instead.

I actually use vanilla flavored almond milk for my cereal in the morning. Tastes better than using milk, in my opinion. Otherwise, it tastes like ew. I'll try it... :s

That sounds like a really good idea...

Almond milk doesn't taste bad. But it feels like it leaves your mouth coated in slime.

I used to mix frozen bananas with almond milk. They balance out the nutty flavor quite nicely. Now I'm mixing them with nonfat plain greek yogurt (70% of the calories come from protein, but the flavor on its own could use some work.)

Never really thought blending frozen bananas on their own would work out well.

Are you sure you're drinking almond milk? ARE YOU SURE?

For those of you into supplements, look up Arachidonic Acid and Pyrroloquinoline quinone. I learned about them recently and put in a few orders, so I don't have any experiences to share, myself, but here are a couple threads discussing them, with studies:

Oh wow, I'm surprised this thread is still alive. Usually, in my experience, when a forum-goer says they need to work out it lasts about as long as a New Year's Resolution. Good Job for sticking with it.

3 months of working out 6 days a week...

Re: I work out! (well not yet... but I need to)

I see you pulling those pants down up thar.

Also, I'm jealous. I wish I had that motivation for 6 days a week. lmao

Re: I work out! (well not yet... but I need to)

If you go often enough.... at least in my case... it becomes an addiction. The gym is my favorite part of the day.

Re: I work out! (well not yet... but I need to)

It does feel good to work out once you get used to it, it's just the part where you're getting used to it that sucks. This is why I've tried (and failed) so many times at getting back into working out.

Re: I work out! (well not yet... but I need to)

Just got back from an awesome run, now I'm all energized when I thought the opposite would happen. I have to be to work in 11 hours. Oh well. I will sleep eventually.

On a side note, I think all the breathing I do when I'm running really tunes up my vocal chords nicely, I run to showtunes (don't laugh, they really get me motivated while running) and when I get back to my apartment I sing along, and my vocal chords are already warmed up. Hitting the high notes like a boss.
