New Class Times



Why workout for 2 hours when you can get even better results from working out for only 1 hour? With the NEW PROGRAM you get even greater results in even less time. I love it :)

We explained all the benefits you will get and reasoning behind the change in class this Monday and Tuesday, but if you missed it please contact Brianna and I for further details.

All classes are 1 hard core hour, but the
the 15 min. after the workout ends is still your time and is open for you ladies for one-on-one counseling, to go over your journal further, if you are struggling with anything, or if you have any questions.


Just Peachy



August means peaches are in season!

Peaches are 80% water and a good source of fiber which makes them a good choice if your goal is to lose weight.

The vitamin A in peaches are good for skin cells, vision, boosting immunity, and increasing white blood cells.

The potassium in peaches aids in digestion, it helps muscles contract, sends nerve signals used for metabolism to be able to use fat, protein, and carbohydrates for energy.

Oh...remember a peach should smell like a peach. If it does not it will not have much flavor. A little squeezable is best. If it is rock hard, but it in a paper bag until it ripens.


Fit 2 Stay Wed

I'm happy to share this small tip has really made a HUGE difference in our marriage and it is so easy to do.

It will Change the MOOD of your whole day or evening!

Whenever when one of us comes home we get up from whatever we are doing and greet the other person at the door with a hug & kiss.

I've opened the door a few times to find Dan (my husband) sitting on the steps to finish his conversation before he walks in the door and vise versa I will wrap up my conversation in the car before coming in the door.

It makes me feel very valued and special. It is an easy way that I can demonstrate that he is a priority to me.

It completely changes the mood for the whole day or evening by that simple step ofhanging up the phone before you walk in the door or to get up from what you are doing to greet the other person.

Greetings!

I hope you ladies are having an amazing week. I'm so excited for my brothers upcoming wedding. I have not even met who he is marrying yet, but have hear such amazing things and looking forward to seeing what upstate New York is like. Dan is recovering nicely, but we found out he was in such bad shape because he had gangrene. I'm looking forward to lots of exciting things going on this session like beach workouts for our off site classes and the upcoming cooking class.

I'm loving the new workouts for this session and I'm excited for our first off site class on August 21st @ Coronado 7:30-8:30am.

Recipe of the Week
Turkey Burgers

Recipe from Katherine McNeill

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cabbage chopped up, saute w/ 1 tsp olive oil in pan
  • add 1/2 chopped onion to the pan
  • 3 garlic cloves chopped allow these to saute for about 10 minutes
  • add 4 chopped carrots
  • 1/4 yellow chopped yellow and red pepper (1/4 each)
  • (1) whole bunch spinach wash trimmed, chopped
  • Add fresh pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. fennel
  • pinch oregano


Honestly, I smell my spices and add tiny pinches of what I think smells good :o)


Directions
  • In a separate bowl I have my ground turkey.
  • Add saute items to the bowl, lightly mix, using a spoon scoop and mold burgers and place back into the saute pan to cook, don't have the heat too high as the cabbage will burn, try to turn only once because they fall apart easy.

Ideas
Katherine made these for the last day of class potluck and they were so good. I love that they have lots of vegetables in them. They are good hot or cold, which makes them an easy food to take to work, for lunch or when on the go.

I made a bunch and put half in the freezer and had half to eat for the next few days.


If you eat grains, you can cut out the middle of a piece of Ezekiel bread for a healthier choice of a bun. Although, I love them just by themselves, with dijon mustard, or wrapped in lettuce.




Easy Does It- Girl on the Go
Constantly & Consistently

Keep moving...that low level physical activity throughout the day will end up burning more caloriesand serving your body more benefit than jumping on the treadmill for a hard 60 min run, then sitting on your butt all day.

It provides a good base to actually help improve your workouts and allow you to work at a greater intensity during your workouts.

Daily movement helps to lose and maintain a healthy weight without the increased appetite and fatigue that chronic too hard cardio and overdoing the strength training can do, which actually leads to weight loss resistance.

Easy How 2:
Strap on a PEDOMETER for added motivation to see how many steps you can get in a day. Buy yours here to start ASAP.

Stand instead of sit, move instead of stand, move faster instead of slower

Search for the parking spot that is the furthest away

Pack your running shoes and park a few blocks away from work

Dance while you blow dry and cook in the kitchen

Set a timer to get up from your desk every hour or two for a little movement

Walk around while you talk on the phone

Take the long way. All the little steps really do add up and is amazing for boosting your energy throughout the day.

Get Over Yourself. Distinguishing between things that you can change and things that you can't change. It will save you a lot of wasted time and energy.Embrace & learn to love those changes you have no control over like your height and frame size. Take control over the things you can control like getting rid of extra body fat and being a fit you.
