PLYO

Lets get this party started -  21 day fix - 
I am loving BEACHBODY and wishing I had started and stuck with this years ago BUT so glad I am 2 months in and 10 lbs down and loving the energy I have!!
By combining work outs from BOD and hiking 
each day I am motivated to do more and go further!
Today I started the PLYO 21 day fix -  already feeling
the beginnings of definition - can't wait to see results on day 21

Making Vanilla Shakeology Delicious


IF you are like me and you use Shakeology
you have found you are not a fan of Vanilla
Yesterday when reminded by a friend of the benefits of Turmeric
I decided to try and experiment; 
1 cup of whole organic milk
2 turmeric tablets opened into the blender
sprinkle of cinnamon and a teaspoon of maple syrup - 
your scoops of Vanilla Shakeo. 
Makes a wonderful snack - 
Its delicious and SO GOOD FOR YOU!
Enjoy and have a 
nutritionally motivating day -

Health Benefits of Turmeric
When examining the research, turmeric benefits go beyond that of these 10 drugs:
  • Anti-inflammatory drugs
  • Anti-depressants (Prozac)
  • Chemotherapy
  • Anti-coagulants (Aspirin)
  • Pain killers
  • Diabetes drugs (Metformin)
  • Arthritis medications
  • Inflammatory bowel disease drugs
  • Cholesterol drugs (Lipitor)
  • Steroids

Break fast

For years you have been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day - 
ITS TRUE
it really is - 
the right amount of protein and fiber sets the tone 
for how you will eat and function the rest of the day!
When I get a healthy nutritional breakfast I am less tempted to 
"fall off the nutritional wagon" so to speak the rest of the day.
I know how many calories I need to function properly for the day- 
and depending on how hard I work out each day 
depends on how many calories I need - 

Here is one of my go to bfast - simple and quick!

1/2 Ezekiel Bread sprouted English muffin with 1 tbls. of all natural peanut butter
Egg Whites scrambled with one whole egg and a bit of garlic cooked in olive oil
when cook I add a layer of raw spinach (wonderful green protien)
then I add a sprinkling of Feta - cover and let melt a bit - enjoy with a glass of water.
NOTE: when I use cheese in a recipe (any recipe) I never add salt - 
cheese usually has more than enough salt for any recipe - 
Have a nutritionally 
motivating day!
