Food Tip: No Sugar Please
Here is the tip….avoid sugar. If there is an alternative to sugar, please use it. Sugar is where a lot of the extra calories come from. So if given the option, take it. I know "but those artificial sweeteners are so bad for you. " So I may die, but at least ill be skinny in my coffin.
And this is something that is worth noting. Fat-free food alternatives use sugar to make their food taste better. Watch your labels because just because it isays it is fat-free does not mean it is good for you!
Fitness Tip: Know your resting metabolism.
To count calories, it is important to know your resting metabolic rate to see how many calories you burn when you sit on your butt and eat Ben & Jerry’s. With this information you can calculate how any calories you have burned on the treadmill and see how many calories you can consume throughout the day. If you want to loose a pound a week, you must burn 3500 calories a week. That means if you eat 1500 calories, and your resting metabolsim is 1500 calories, then you must burn 500 calories seven days a week to burn a pound. Here is a great website to help you know your resting metabolic rate so that you know how many calories you can consume a day at rest and not gain a pound. http://www.shapeup.org/interactive/rmr1.php

Food Tip: Blanching
Ok, so this is gross but the older I get the gassier I become. Ok…uncomfortable?? I suggest not standing behind me!
I eat a lot of broccoli. A ton actually. So to avoid the gas, blanch!
If you place the broccoli in boiling water and wait until it gets green, then dump in cold, icy water……you can eat broccoli that is still fibrous and not mushy and have all of the flavor with none of the gas!
Fitness Tip: Stop the crunches
If you don’t have a flat stomach then stop doing crunches! If you have a belly, the only thing a crunch does is stick out your tummy. Its silly if you are packing a few around the middle. Do more cardio! Use your time wisely! Seriously!
Recipe: White Bean, Artichoke and Red Pepper Hummus
Why hummus? It is a good source of fiber….plus it can be used not only as a dip for carrots, but its an awesome condiment in replace of mayonnaise on sandwiches! So make it at home now, its way cheaper!
1 16 oz can of white kidney beans
1/4 cup liquid from can
1 16 oz can artichoke hearts
6 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
3 tablespoons tahini
(if you can find it, use an all-natural peanut butter or almond butter) BIG TIP!
2 cloves garlic, crushed (roasted is a nice touch)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 red pepper, roasted and peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
Take a red pepper and place on a grill for about 5 minutes a side. Put in cold water and remove the skin. Make a rough chop. Add rest of ingredients and place in blender or food processor until slightly smooth!

Fitness Tip: Mornings versus evenings
This is primordial struggle akin to such conflicts as good versus evil, man versus machine and possibly the Moors versus the Christians in the Crusades. Should I work out in the mornings or the evenings. Let’s face it, if you have to ask, you are not disciplined. Pure and simple. Here is my advice to you - get it done. If you work nine to five, too many things may come up if you are planning an evening workout. If you are working, you have eight hours to create an excuse to not workout. It can be exhausting thinking of ways to avoid the gym. But it does not burn calories. So here is my tip- wake up and get it done! That way you will go to the gym for sure. Also, starting with workouts in the morning are great ways in which to speed up a staggering metabolism.
Food Tip; Write it down
Your best friend in controlling your weight is not the treadmill or a dumbbell - it is pen and paper. Write down what you eat. If you do this, you will assume accountability. By making that step, you will be very conscience of what you put in your mouth (chuckle -as you should be!) I am telling you, it will work! It gives those of you with no Will Power (which is now my new business alias) a sense of control in this insane world.
Recipe: Lazy BBQ Chicken for the Crock Pot
Here is something that you can do before work and it will be done when you get home! Or perfect for a rainy day.
Serves 4
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 cups tomato ketchup
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp brown sugar (or honey)
1 tbsp soy sauce (or balsamic vinegar and pinch of salt)
2 tbsp garlic powder
1tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp paprika
1.5 tsp ground red hot pepper flakes,
Combine all ingredients for the sauce in the slow cooker and stir. Add the chicken, coat with the sauce.
Cook on high 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. If you are making before work, set a lamp timer to start pot if you are not there! It’s a great trick!
Serve this over something equally easy to make like brown rice, polenta.

Blog Entry 8.23 Chili
First of all, please sign up as a follower of mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now read.
Food Tip: Plan you meals.
So why do you order a pizza , eat eight hundred extra calories, and spend a week regretting your choices? Because you do not plan your meals! That’s why you stop and get a double-cheeseburger and think popcorn is a meal. So this is what works for me to alleviate those pressure decisions (bucket of chicken or taco bell).
I cook one day a week for four days. By doing this, I can just reheat a meal every day and it is already done for me. Okay, so it’s Sunday. The weather is nice and a Bloody Mary is in order. So, get a crock pot, open some cans, and let it sit in there. Then be off with your day. You can take ten minutes of prep work to make a meal for at least two to three days! If you plan your meals today by making some good reheatable meals, you will not make bad choices and will have no reason to feel guilty the rest of the week (unless you have grew up Catholic like me).
Fitness Tip: It’s Sunday, I’m not going to the gym.
Neither am I. Sundays are meant to recharge and refocus. So do it! So don’t work out. I mowed the lawn. I burnt some calories I feel good. Go walk your dog! Burn some calories that way. Or spend the day planning your workout schedule. This is a great day to schedule your workout, refocus and recommit!
THE CHILI RECIPE
I feel very good that I shall win again with this one. It was a good chili night. Plus, the crock pot is in order for this one. This pot of chili can make 8-10 servings. See meals for the week! I practice what I preach.
3 cans chili hot beans (or kidney) ( do not drain)
2 lbs browned ground turkey (drained)
1 16oz can of tomatoes diced
1 cup frozen corn
Dump all of these above items in crock pot
Spice Blend
3 cloves garlic
1 can diced green chiles
1 large onion (diced)
3 tbsp allspice
3 tbsp chili powder or cumin
1 tsp fennel seed
1 tbsp garlic salt
1/3 of one 5oz can of chipotle in adobo
6 black peppercorns
3 tbsp ginger
1 tbsp curry powder
1 cup chicken stock
Take all of these ingredients and blend in food processor, blender. This is important because it will make the spices very consistent.
Take the spice blend and combine crock pot with all other ingredients. Cook in crock pot at low heat for 8 to ten hours. It is a good heat. The Indian seasoning is awesome. Do not over use the chipotles! They can take over like a short dictator.

Food Tip: Aldi Rules
Ok, so If you don’t have an Aldi, I am sorry. I think you should call Angela Merkel personally and ask her to set up this wonder of grocery shopping. (it’s German you know) They have the best prices. Ok, so the produce is not great. But I am a penny saver, and I love to use frozen veggies because you can save a fortune. They also have a product line called Fit & Active. Fit & Active has an assortment of snacks, yogurts, dried fruit and meals that are really good for you and equally convenient. Aldi is definitely no Trader Joe’s, but you will be surprised on what you can get out of there! Bring a quarter. You will see why.
Fitness Tip: Sweat
So here is a good rule of thumb - break a sweat every day. If you get your body to sweat daily you are probably burning more calories than you will take in for a day (if you are watching what you eat). So it does not count if you sweat while having Margarita’s by the pool. But if you are active and you get to the point you maintain a sweat for ten to twenty minutes, you did enough to maybe not loose weight, but you should not be gaining any. This is what I do on my non-training days. I do just enough walking of the dog to break a sweat. And if you have a dog, walk him/her. They need it just as much as you.
Recipe:
I am the reigning Boulder Walk Chili Winner. No, I am not giving you the recipe because I never wrote it down. But I am making some today and we shall see how it goes so I can share. I love chili, In fact, I would eat a dog turd if it were covered in chili. So I ask you to submit to me any recipes I can try!
I am getting a ton of tomatoes! Therefore, I am going to share with you a recipe of tomatoes and fennel that will blow you away. Don’t be tired of tomato recipes by me. This is the season and you will be mad when you run out of tomatoes and you have to pay three dollars a pound at the grocery store. Okay, I know. When am I going to cook again? I did last night, and it rocked. I will share you that recipe tomorrow because its definitely more of a Sunday, slow-cooking find of meal.
Also if you are reading this blog, please sign up as a follower! I am going to attempt to post the blog on a food blogging website and I need your help! Plus, would it not be cool if I could make money cooking? Shameless self-promotion. I know…

Food Tip: Put down the spoon!
It is still warm and after being in sun it is good to cool down. Don’t have a tub of ice cream. I mean do I have to say that? Don’t waste your time in the gym. I recommend buying a bunch of red seedless grapes and putting them in the freezer. When you need to cool down or when you have a sweet tooth, this really does the trick. I know it is not the same as a tub of ice cream, but instead of feeling like a sloth , you can feel sated.
Fitness Tip: Have a plan.
I know why people do not do strength-training. It is not because people do not like weights, it is because they have no clue where to start. Going to a gym without a plan is like starting a war with no exit strategy. It is important to know what you want to do. Hire a trainer for a few sessions to get a routine down for you. Get a book that reveals some sort of guidance. Or simply say, legs today, upper body tomorrow. It can be really intimidating not knowing where to start. If I didn’t have my trainer before, I would never have learned what I know now. Also, bring a pen and record what you did. I can’t remember what I ate yesterday, do you expect me to remember what weight I had the lat pull down machine last Wednesday?
I have two vegetarians that are following me. Don’t get used to meatless meals! Sometimes, I do feel the need to lay off the meat. This usually happens when I eat to much the night before. I polished off those steaks last night, and I could use something light. So here is what I am making for lunch.
Recipe: Tex-Mex Salad
Serves three, or two hungry carnivores.
2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 Tbs. whole-grain mustard
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 diced cucumber
1 tsp cumin
1/4 cup diced celery
2 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup fresh or frozen corn, thawed
1 avocado, diced
1/2 cup diced sweet red pepper
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
1 scallion, cut thin
1 cup grated Monterrey jack cheese
Whisk together lemon juice , cumin, oil, and mustard in large bowl.. Add all remaining ingredients except cheese, and toss salad. (chuckle). Top with cheese and serve.
