Immunity Boosting Muesli

100% maple syrup is a natural sweetener that is high in manganese and zinc, important immune system allies.  Ground flaxseeds are the richest plant source of the inflammation fighting omega-3 fatty acids.  They contain fiber, which improves insulin sensitivity and wards off fat build-up.  Greek yogurt has about double the amount of hunger-controlling protein and fewer carbs than regular yogurt.  Plus probiotics to support your immune system.

Ready in 5 Minutes (not including overnight prep) *Makes 2 Servings

1 Tbsp ground flaxseeds

1 Tbsp crushed almonds

1 tsp cinnamon

1 cup fresh mixed berries

1 Tbsp 100% maple syrup

Stir oats into yogurt.  Mix in ground flaxseeds and crushed almonds.  Stir in cinnamon and mix.  Toss in berries and stir in syrup.  Refrigerate overnight.

Once Upon A Time...

There lived a pint sized

P90X loving

Tony Horton quoting

Prince named Ethan

All he wanted was a snack

A crisp

Juicy

Red

Apple

So he went to the kitchen

And found just what he was looking for

But try as he might

 This is all that happened...

So his mother

The most beautiful queen

To ever have lived

Cut and chopped

And

Cut and chopped

 So he could have these

and live happily ever after

Once more

NOTHING is Impossible - My Transformation

Conquering the Crane!!

This is my husband and fellow Beachbody Coach, Curt.  He started P90X 90 days ago and set this goal for himself:  To be able to hold the Crane Pose for 60 seconds by the end of 90 days.  

Today was that day.

His first time reaching the 60 second mark and he Knocked it out of the park!!!

What's in the Box??

Well Hello There Mrs. Swarzenegger....

I am still doing the ChaLean Extreme workouts. I have to say that I am a bit amazed at the changes I have seen in my body in such a short time...not to mention the fact that I am not the best at following fitness programs... I tend to get a little overwhelmed by the commitment and underwhelmed by the amount of chocolate I'm allowed to eat. It's generally not a recipe I am willing to stick to, but this is good and I like it.

I have been doing the three weight workouts every week but not doing so good on the cardio. This week I'm going to throw in a little Turbo Jam just because I've been missing it. I haven't lost pounds, but my body fat has gone down a whole percent and I can actually see some muscle tone... even hubby has witnessed that phenomenon and has taken to calling me Mrs. Schwarzenegger...

I don't know about that, but the jeans that I'm wearing are a size that I haven't been in since I was a sophmore in highschool. And let's just get it out there... I haven't been in high school in a very long time.
