Hey Friend,

Here's something to think about.  Thomas Edison has this great quote that I share in this 1 minute video.  It's definitely worth the time.  Success is tough to reach and tough to keep.  We need motivation like this to keep moving forward.  CLICK HERE or on the Picture below to see the 1 minute video. 

This dip is super FAST and EASY to make.  I usually have these ingredients on hand and can make it for a quick snack or appetizer.

Add it all to a blender or food processor.  Blend until smooth and you are ready to eat.  I use a mini food processor and that works great!

This is great as a veggie dip.

MY FAVORITE way to eat this is on a toasted piece of Ezekiel bread, thinly sliced radish on top and fresh black cracked pepper.  This is SO good and I feel like someone fancy made it for me to eat.

Hey Friend,

You may have seen this online but just in case you haven't it is a very shocking and hyping kind of statement that I said first in a class off the cuff.  I began thinking about it deeper and realized "Whoa, if we could get everyone doing these 3 things it could end the health care crisis!"  Of course getting people to do anything is the ultimate challenge, but maybe you can do these things for yourself to decrease your chances of having a personal health care crisis. 

You might have heard about these before but I find I need reminders constantly.

If you are local and want to hear a Faith based health and fitness talk I've got the honor to fill in at the West Bloomfield Congregational Church at 10 am THIS Sunday!  (https://wbccucc.org/)  I'm used to speaking but does it mean I'm preaching if it's in front of a church on Sunday?  :o)  (God help me represent You well!!!)

Hey Friend,

I have an open invite to go on Fox Rochester EVERY MONTH and share something helpful with their viewers.  I thought it was time to give them a more active segment so I brought a gallon of water...

I tried to show 9 exercises in quick succession while spitting out a few helpful tips about water:

We all know we are made mostly of water...why do we hold back from drinking so much?  Water is a major part of every system in our body so it's absence (or lower level) makes nearly everything worse while it's presence makes nearly everything better! 

Headaches?  Back Pain?  Neck Pain?  Constipation?  Excess...

Strawberry Picking is one of my fondest memories as a child.  It has now become even fonder as I share these moments with my daughter! 

Here is a quick, easy, healthy and refreshing salad to have on hand or take to the endless picnics of summer!

Ingredients:
2 large Cucumbers thinly sliced
2 cups of strawberries (I quartered them)

1 Tbsp. Avocado oil or olive oil

Directions:
Cut cucumbers, strawberries and avocado.  Place in bowl.  Whisk vinegar and oil.  Pour over mixture, mix and enjoy.

You could also add onion if you would like.  This time I wasn't feeling it, but it is good that way:)

ENJOY!

I don’t want to get “bulky”

The other day I was doing weights day with the 9am class and a new boot camper saw how much weight I was using for triceps.  She came up to me and said “I have a big fear of lifting heavy and that I will get bulky looking. You are lifting heavy but you don’t look bulky?”  I was reminded of what a BIG fear this is for women.  Many are afraid to really challenge them selves on weights day because it will make them bigger. 

So here are my thoughts and my story.

MY thoughts…

Some women look like man-beasts! That is super cool if that is what you are going for.  No one who has this look has done it by accident.  They don’t wake up one morning and go “wow, how did this happen to me?” There is a plan to get that way and it is not easy to do.  It takes time and dedication.  Most of that involves nutrition (eating a TON of...
