Summer Seafood Recipe

I just made a great new recipe.  Take the Jasmine rice from Trader Joe's that's frozen and cook it in the microwave for 3 minutes. I sauteed onion, garlic and bell pepper in some olive oil. then Add the frozen seafood blend from Trader Joe's into the pan with Lime zest and the juice of a whole lime, a hefty does of ground ginger, chili pepper flakes, salt and pepper and let it all cook. Then I put it over the jasmine rice with some fresh basil and Thai chili pepper sauce. Yummy on a hot summer night! If you drink wine, a great Sauvinion Blanc (my favorite is Starborough from New Zealand) would be a wonderful compliment to the meal.

Small Group Pilates classes

  There are many benefits to joining a small group class when beginning a new fitness routine. The biggest component being that you get a chance to develop relationship/friendships with others in a fun environment. Having buddies that you work out with helps make the time go by quicker. You also get more individual attention when you are in a small group class as opposed to a larger class at the gym. If you are looking to join a small group Pilates Class, I'm now going to run 2 classes at Mindful Movements in Downtown Livermore as well as Action in motion Pilates and Physical Therapy in Danville. 

• A Chair/Mat class from 4-5pm on Tuesdays and a Reformer class from 4:30 - 5:30  on Fridays. Each 4 week session costs $60 or $120 for both sets of classes.

American Heart Association Fitness Recommendations

According to the American Heart Association, people looking to maintain a healthy weight, as well as improve the physical and cardiovascular health should aim to do 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week (and better yet, every day). Can't do it all at once? Break it up into smaller 5-10 minute sections.

Healthy Heart, Healthy Mind, Healthy Body

The American public has experienced an epidemic of eating disorders and obesity over the past 30 years. I have had a very personal struggle with Obesity since I was 5 years old. I am now 30, and have lost 90 pounds. Anyone who has walked this journey of weight loss can speak to the perseverance, commitment and determination it takes to complete your primary objective: goal weight and then on to maintenance.  Few people speak of the emotional and mental tenacity that is also involved. This wonderful article written by Susan Liddy for the Huffington Post reaffirms the truth that I've come to discover in my own personal weight loss... learning to love yourself, eat clean/healthy food, and healthy ways of dealing with emotions (besides overeating or deprivation) make you a healthier and more confident version of yourself.  Copy and paste the link below to read the full article.

Tip of the Month: August

§      The lazy days of summer are coming to an end. This month make the most of the extra hours by taking the kids to the park after dinner, go for a walk with a friend, or simply take a weekend away from work, family, etc and go away with a friend. Have fun! Everyone deserves much needed alone time as well as time with our most treasured friends.
