Meet Chrissy!
Vegetable Comfort Soup
This is just a really healthy soup that is loaded with good
stuff! It reminds me of a soup I ate when I first started my weight loss journey. It helped transition me into eating healthy again and have less cravings!
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large sweet potato (about 2 cups), chopped
2 cups peeled butternut squash, chopped
2 cups cauliflower florets, chopped
2 cups sliced cabbage
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
6 cups vegetable stock
2 tsp. Italian seasoning (or a mixture of dried
parsley, basil, oregano etc.)
1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper
1 tsp. sea salt
2 Tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
Throw in onion, carrot and celery and cook for 3-5 minutes or until onions are translucent.

This compound exercise will work your CORE muscles (particularly the love handles AKA Obliques). It will also work your shoulders and upper back. It's a great exercise for better posture and strength...but also for looking good in warm weather clothes.

Meet Christen:
We did a different workout this year but this is such a great video full of exercises you can do at home that I thought I would share this again!
So I'm 35 this year (not 34) and maybe if I have time I'll make a video that describes my 35th Birthday Workout. Until then as you watch this video. Keep in mind that all the exercises have different levels to them and there are some people in boot camp who don't do some of these exercises for various reasons. "exercise" good judgement and if you can't figure one out move on (and call us about training too if you want).
Happy Jeremy's Birthday to YOU!
Jeremy "tall trainer" Biernat
P.S. to all 35 who took advantage of my birthday gift yesterday, thank you and good luck. I hope to hear about what you learned at the end of the week!

Anyone need little break from all the special treats about now?!
This salad is fresh, crisp and delicious! Whenever I look at a recipe I size up how long will it take me to make it. I thought chopping the cabbage would be a total pain but it wasn't and went really fast! It makes a large amount and lasts several days so I found it worth the small amount of time it took!

HOW I LOST 7% BODY FAT...EATING POP TARTS....IN BED!?!?!
By: Sarah Biernat RN, CPT
***For those who are totally against pop-tarts please read the bottom***
This is ABSOLUTE truth! I promise there is no fib, but there is much more to this story! If one were to look on my side of the bed they would likely see pop tart crumbs, and that shinny wrapper crinkled on my nightstand. Some nights the crumbs wake me up and I have to brush them onto Jeremy’s side of the bed.Marriage is SO FUN!
But wait, wait, wait. This goes against ALL science and what the fitness magazines tell me to do to lose fat. Eat pure sugar right before bed? This should make me wake up with hips in the shape of pop-tarts or cinnamon buns or something like that, RIGHT? Well, that is not what happened for me.
This is what really happened....
High School was the peak of pop-tart eating days for my fellow classmates. This was also the peak of my anorexia. I was pretty much hungry ALL the time and refused...
