Quote of the Week


Greetings!
  

 

I sat down at my computer to do the newsletter this morning and I realized that I had not sent the one from last week.  :)  I had it all ready, but I did not get it sent.  So my New Year workout thank you is a little bit late!  Oh well, you will get two newsletters this week...

 

We weighed on Friday (and will weigh on Monday and Tuesday for those who have not weighed yet) to complete the "No Gain" over the holidays competition.  Ladies, I am so proud of each and every one of you!  I will say that most of you lost some weight over the holidays.  It can be done.  Through all of the temptations that seem to surround us for two months, we were able to come out of it leaner and stronger.  Way to go.  I am so proud of all of you for taking your health and wellness so seriously.  Thank you so much for the hard work! 

 

I have had enough of you tell me that you would like to weigh each week in class.  It will keep you more focused and motivated if you know that the scale is coming out every Thursday or Friday.  I understand that, so we will do it!  There are charts available in class and we will weigh each week.  If you go in the right direction, then you will get a sticker for your chart.  Weight is very funny, and you all know that I don't believe it is the best indicator, so weighing each week is very serious.  Every single bite that you take matters.  I am not saying that you are not allowed your dinner out that you were planning, or the cake at your daughter's birthday, but each meal will count.  I know that you all can do it.  I know that you all can lose each week.  You just have to work at it.  And, unfortunately, sometimes it is HARD work. 

 

Think about how hard you push yourself in class.  Push that hard the rest of your day with what you are eating, and you will not have one problem on the scale each week.  If you are stuck, we will work to get you un-stuck.  For those of you who want to lose weight, I recommend that you have about a one pound per week goal.  And, we celebrate EVERY SINGLE POUND!  You can do it.  I believe in you!  Think about what you want and go get it!

 

 

Have a wonderful day!   Love, Emily

Egg Muffins

 

This is an awesome recipe to make and keep in the fridge.  Then you have breakfast ready to go.  Grab one or two on your way out the door and you will have a healthy quick breakfast every day.  You can put any type of veggies, meat or  cheese in these.  What ever you like.  Just be careful with veggies that give off a lot of water, like mushrooms and spinach, the muffins will be wet and won't hold their shape very well.  If you want spinach in your egg muffins, I recommend cooking it first.  I sauteed mine, then I squeezed out all of the excess water.  It worked like a charm.   

 

6 eggs

1/4 pound ground meat or chopped ham

1 red pepper, chopped

1/4 c. grated cheese

salt and pepper to taste

 
Preheat oven to 350.  Grease muffin tins and spray the liners - I suggest trying the foil liners, the paper liners seemed to stick to the eggs.  In a bowl, beat the eggs.  Add cooked meat, veggies of choice, cheese and seasonings.  Spoon into muffin tins.  Bake 18-20 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. 

 

Makes 6 muffins.  Enjoy!

Thank you again for your hard work this week.  I am amazed that I am still able to give you "the hardest workout you have ever had."  :)  2011 is going to be full of fun, hard work, and FANTASTIC results!  Let's set our mind to do everything we have to do to make what we want, a reality!  Have a great day!
Love, Emily
