I would like to thank all those who came out on Saturday to help us celebrate 9 YEARS OF AWESOMENESS!
It was a beautiful day!
Although it was hot and sometimes rainy, and we experienced a few minor, unexpected turns, the camaraderie and drive to kick serious butt overshadowed it all!!

LADIES!
We are constantly drilling it into your brains – IT’S ALL ABOUT THE FOOD, blah, blah, blah, DISCIPLINE IN THE KITCHEN, blah, blah, blah. Well here is a visual example to help inspire you. Coach Lorraine was at 12.5 % body fat 13 weeks ago. (She looked amazing then too!) But with a carefully structured meal plan & intense weight training regimen, she dropped to 9% (“today” photo). KEEP IN MIND, she didn’t lose any weight, she is still at 140 lbs. This means she gained muscle (via her workouts) combined with a loss of body fat (via diet).
On this note, please comment below if you have bought a ticket to her upcoming show at the War Memorial, FRIDAY, JULY 11. We are getting tank tops made for the special event and I need your size!!! It will be a fun night, as we show our love and support for our coach!!!!!
Ladies,
If you’re a mom with little kids, trying to offer them a variety of healthy foods they’ll enjoy can become quite challenging.
Breakfast has become somewhat boring in my house – the same 3 meals I’ve been rotating seem to have lost their appeal so I’m always on the lookout for new ideas.
Here’s a yummy recipe I found on MyFitnessPal:
CHIA OATMEAL BREAKFAST COOKIES
Ingredients
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the chia seeds and almond milk and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, or until the chia seeds have created a nice gel-like consistency.
3. Pour the chia seed gel into a medium sized mixing bowl and add in the mashed bananas, oats, coconut, almond butter and cinnamon until well combined. Gently stir in the dates and chocolate chunks.
4. Scoop out a generous tablespoon of dough onto a baking stone or a greased cookie sheet and use a fork to press the dough down a little to make more of a cookie shape. You should get about 15 cookies.
5. Place in oven and bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the bottom of the cookies have browned a bit.
6. Take them out, let cool and enjoy.
Note: Many dark chocolate chips are gluten-free however ingredients can vary by brand. It’s best to look at packaging before purchasing if you have a gluten sensitivity.

HAPPY HUMP DAY!

The best way to assure you & your family are getting the most out of the fruits and vegetables you’re eating, is to eat them at their peak. This means shopping locally and seasonally – so let’s support our local growers!
Here’s a list of some of Miami’s local farmer’s markets, and when you can visit them, http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/10/31/3723142/farmers-markets-bring-fresh-local.html
Here’s another handy tool –> a chart that tells you when your favourites are in season so you can keep an eye out for them in your local markets!
If you’re looking for something nearby, FIU has “Organic Farmers Market Consortium” year round on Wednesdays from 12 to 3 p.m., behind the Green Library, and there’s “Southwest Community Farmers’ Market” at Tropical Park on Saturdays from 9am to 3pm.
In other news, my mango tree decided to skip us this season. I was so looking forward to fresh mango smoothies =(
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
