I am a HUGE breakfast fan. I can eat breakfast food all day. Thankfully, I'm not eating pancakes, waffles and greasy sausage every morning. But, I definitely make a point to eat breakfast every morning. Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. It gives you energy to start the day and moreover it is linked to many health benefits including weight control and improved performance.
Most mornings, I whip up an egg white omlette with spinach, mushroom and some low fat cheese. It carries me through most of the day and it doesn't weight me down for workouts. If you don't have much time, try a protein smoothie. Here's one I grabbed from the cookbook: "Healthy foods for kids":
"Sesame Street" Smoothie (serves 2)
2 melon wedges: seeded, skinless and chopped
3/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
2 medium bananas
1 tbl Sesame Seeds
1 tbl Tahini (ground sesame paste)
11/4 cups lowfat milk, (chilled)
1-2 Tsp Honey
Blend all fruit to a puree, then add Sesame seeds and tahini & blend for another minute. Gradually pour in the milk & honey until all blended.
Have a great week! Hope to see you soon.

You know you want them....
...flat abs, toned arms and strong legs.
So what are you doing about it? Do you feel like you are there already?
Total body conditioning combined with 2-4 days a week of a cardiovascular activity (running, cycling, swimming) will get you there. I know, I know, it's hard to do all of that and still work, manage family, sleep, eat, live etc... However, it is doable and once you get started and stay with it, you will see those results.
Try putting yourself on a schedule THIS WEEK for 2 days of muscle conditioning and 2 days of some kind of cardio and see how it feels, then stick with it for a month. If you don't have a lot of time, start with 20 minute workouts of the above over 4 days. And if all else fails and there is no time at all, do push ups. It's the best total body exercise that not only strengthens your core, but, when done correctly, can also provide a brief cardio workout when done at faster speeds.
And, if you need guidance, I'm here to help, email me, come to a session or flag me down when you see me and I can get you going towards what you want. Have a great week. Hope to see you soon.

Time to get back into that routine!
Hello,
I hope this week finds you settling into new routines with your family and gearing up for what looks like a beautiful Fall. This week should also be the week that you get back into that workout routine. If you've put off that run or that Yoga class, schedule it back in this week. Remember, the more you make working out a part of your weekly routine the more it stays with you. Staying fit and healthy is a life-long commitment and the rewards are totally worth it. So get out there! Hope to see you soon!
