Here’s a great recipe to make the night before for an easy grab-n-go breakfast straight out of the fridge.
It’s packed with protein, vitamins and minerals for sustained energy all morning long. And it tastes great too.

Servings: 1 Here’s what you need…

1/4 cup Greek Yogurt, plain, fat free
1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 scoop high quality strawberry or vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup fresh berries
1 Tablespoon pecan pieces, toasted

1. In a small bowl use a whisk to combine the yogurt, cottage cheese and protein powder. Mix until well incorporated.
2. Place half of the yogurt mixture into a clear cup, top with the berries and then the remaining yogurt mixture. Top with pecans.

Nutritional Analysis: One serving equals: 260 calories, 6g fat, 307mg sodium, 11g carbohydrate, 4g fiber, and 38g protein. <—Doesn’t get much better then this!

Try it out tomorrow and let me know how you like it!

Eating breakfast is a very important part of your nutritional plan. 

But I know it can be tricky to get it in, especially when you’re hurrying off to work or school. 

Breakfast cereal can be a good option, but only if you pick a healthy kind. 

Here’s the formula:  when you check the label, the cereal should have at least 5 grams of fiber, and no more than 10 grams of sugar. 

That’s the winning combo.

(EZEKIEL, Post’s Grape Nuts, Kellogg’s Bran Flakes, and Kashi Go Lean are a few good choices.) 

Add in a 1/2 cup of berries, 1 T. wheat germ or ground flax seed, 1 oz. of plain nuts and skim milk.  Dig in for a yummy (and healthy) breakfast.

Here’s to your Healthy Daily Kick Start!

The other day I got an email from one of our Personal Training clients, Betsy, …and I thought I would share it with you – because it was such a  GREAT idea!

Guys!  I have found that I don’t like drinking water!  This sounds ridiculous, but everything seems tastier than drinking  water (except after a workout). Anyway, a while back I asked for tips to drink more water since my percentage is always low. I’ve heard others struggle with this so here are my new-found tips!
1. Buy a cute cup you like!
2. Super giant water bottles made me feel I would never finish drinking and it was too big in tow with the girls, diaper bag, etc. others were too small and made me feel I was drinking every minute. This is 17 oz.and seems just right!  For my weight I have to drink 5 of these cups a day. Not that daunting
3. My new goal: drink 5 of these glasses each day before I’m allowed to drink anything else!! (exception: coffee in the morning)

Great job Betsy!  As always you rock with your enthusiasm and continual processes towards your goals!!!

If you’re just starting an exercise program, or perhaps coming back after a short holiday vacation, just remember that a slow start is your best bet. 

It’s easy to be excited about getting results, and right now, while your resolve is fresh, you probably want to give your exercise program everything you’ve got. 

But in order to go the distance, give yourself a chance to build up the intensity. 

Injuries are the primary reason that people give up on exercise.  And too much, too soon is the main reason for injuries. 

Be excited about what you’re doing.  Give it your all.  But be smart, be strategic, and stay in for the long haul.

In The Art of War, Sun Tzu says "The battle is always won before you set foot on the battlefield." 

He’s talking about strategy. 

When you you want to accomplish anything, including creating a healthy life, creating a plan is your best bet. 

It doesn’t have to be complicated. 

In fact, the more simple, the better. 

But make a plan and write it down.  Make it as specific as possible and make it realistic.

Here’s an example:  I will go to the gym 3 times this week; I will pack my lunch 4 days this week; I will get to bed by 10:00 PM every night this week; I will drink at least 8 glasses of water every day; and I will call the doctor’s office and schedule my annual physical by next Monday. 

Nothing too difficult – simple things that will add up and make a profound difference.
