 Greetings! Did you make a resolution last year? How did you do? Yeah, me too! That is why this year I am going to do the following 3 things to keep me on track:
1. I'M MAKING TIME FOR ME!
I'm letting everyone know that I am setting myself as a priority. I know people will support my goals. I'm even going to enlist my husband and kids to do a bit more to help me out at home so I have time to stick to my plan.
2. I'M MAKING SEVERAL MINI RESOLUTIONS.
I'm being realistic! I can resolve myself to not eat unhealthy for 1-week and be successful. To say I will NEVER eat the bad stuff is a setup for failure, so why do that to myself. Baby steps and behavior modification is key.
3. I'M ENLISTING FRIENDS.
If I have plans to meet a friend at a class, a duet training session, or for a walk, then I know I will stick with it. We can motivate each other while having some quality bonding time.
My ultimate goal to exercise more this year and be healthy will now be an achievable reality.
Wishing you a very happy, healthy 2013! xo Peggy P.

Two-Ingredient Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Ingredients:
4 large very ripe bananas
2 tablespoons peanut butter
Directions:
1. Peel bananas and slice into 1/2 inch discs. Arrange banana slices in a single layer on a large plate or baking sheet. Freeze for 1-2 hours.
2. Place the banana slices in a food processor or powerful blender. Puree banana slices, scraping down the bowl as needed. Puree until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Add the peanut butter and puree to combine. Serve immediately for soft-serve ice cream consistency. If you prefer harder ice cream, place in the freezer for a few hours and then serve.
*Note-if you have a hard time creating a creamy consistency, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to help puree the banana slices. Make sure you use a powerful food processor or blender!
