Working towards better fitness and improved overall health is not only good for you, it’s good for your family and the people we interact with on a day to day basis. It’s a foundational piece of our Self-Care routine. In today’s world we hear about Self-Care all the time and I think that can mean a variety of things to different people. To start with I’d like to share with you how I define Self-Care: Self-Care is: “doing the things…
One of the things I love about my gym is that we all love to eat good food! We’re always trying new things, sharing recipes and even bringing in treats for each other to try out. This is one of our girls Homemade Granola recipe. It’s so good and easy to put together that I asked Maria if I could share it with you!! So here’s what you’ll need: 1 ½ cup Oats ½ cup Coconut Flakes ½ cup Slivered…
I think I’ve said it once or twice (or a hundred) times, how much I love eggs. I eat them all the time! And this is a recipe I make quite often. We have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner too. My husband is a pretty picky eater and he really enjoys this one, so it’s a crowd pleaser for sure! Here’s what you need: Egg whites: 460g Eggs: 2 Shredded Cheddar Cheese: 84g Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: 112g Cottage Cheese:…
Honey Garlic Steak Bites Yum! These steak bites from @healthy.foodyss are delicious (go give them a follow)! And another great thing about these is that they’ll satisfy picky eaters at your house! (Not saying I have any of those at my house, lol… but…) Ingredients: 1.5 lbs. sirloin steak cut into 1 inch cubes 1/3 cup soy sauce 3 Tbsp honey 3 garlic cloves, minced (I used 1 Tbsp. minced garlic) green onions or sesame seeds, for garnish…
Spring is here (more or less) and I’m getting excited for warm weather, cook-outs and all the summer dishes! Right now, I’m in the mood for some Corn Salsa!! It’s delicious and easy to prepare. It’s also one of my favorite things to take to summer cook-outs and family picnics! Here’s what you will need: 4-5 On the Vine Tomatoes (diced) 1-1½ C. Frozen Corn 1 Small Onion (diced) ½ Jalapeno (take the seeds out & dice) 3 Tbls. Lemon…
Good morning, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Over here in the Midwest we’re getting slammed with winter. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since it is January but I could go for some 70 degree weather right about now. One good thing about winter weather is I’m generally ready to start my workout just so I can get warm! So with that in mind, here’s a workout to get you going this week: *Always remember to warm up…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready to hit it hard in 2019! I spent a couple of days out of town and was able to use the hotel fitness center to get my workouts in while I was away. There’s nothing wrong with taking a few days off from your training & occasionally I will take some time off, but I usually go knowing I’ll try to get something in even if…
Do you ever go to the pantry & just stand there and stare? You’re hungry but have no idea what to make. That used to happen to me all the time. It still does occasionally, but for the most part I’ve been able to avoid this by making sure I have good food in the pantry. Being prepared when it comes to eating is half the battle. I’ve always had much better days when I’ve taken the time to prepare…
Almost every weekend our family gets together for a big Sunday dinner & one Sunday, my son brought Japanese Sweet Potatoes. He roasted them with garlic & black pepper & they were a total hit! To me, they taste like a sweet potato with more of the consistency of a white potato. They look similar to a sweet potato but are white on the inside. You can prepare them like a traditional sweet potato with cinnamon & sweetener, but I…
