Sorry for the delay, but its labor day and I have chosen not to labor!
Food Tip: Balance the meal
I know that a lot of the people that read this blog do not cook. I hope that at least you are thinking about cooking. Therefore, I want you to envision a good meal. Think of chinette paper plate with those little dividers. Think of a meal in three sections: protein, vegetable and starch. Now if you are trying to loose weight, the starch should include either rice, or another leafy green. A good rule of thumb is think of your protein first, then fill up with veggies and carbs. If you think of the carb as the basis for your meal, you are setting yourself up for failure!
Fitness Tip: Check your heart rate.
Knowing your heart rate is key in cardio exercise. If you don’t get your cardio to a level that is desired, you are just spinning your wheels (literally if you are on a bike). Therefore, check your heart rate in your exercise. A good website for more information is

Recipe: Egg Muffinski’s (they are just like Egg McMuffins but for made by Polish people)
Serves 4
4 whole wheat English muffins (toasted)
6 eggs
½ ground turkey
1 tsp grape jelly
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground fennel seed
1 apple diced
1 tbsp oatmeal
Toast the muffins and place on side. Scramble the eggs and divide into 4 servings using the top of the muffin as a guide of size and shape. In a large bowl combine the remaining ingredients. Make into four patties using the top of the muffin as a guide for size and shape. Take patties and grill.(perfect for a George Foreman, if I had one) Drain grease and stack on muffins with eggs. Add cheese if desired. The apples give it the twist it needs!
