Eggs Galore!!

It is that time of year again! Time to dye eggs with your kiddos and then....try to figure out what do with all of the left-over boiled eggs that you have. If you are anything like me, you probably get super excited to bust out the Mayonnaise to make a ton of deviled eggs. Unfortunately, I usually don't make them to enjoy just a few bites. I will eat deviled eggs until I'm sick! Not great for the waistline!! Here are a few recipes that I've found to help me plan healthy egg snacks.

Clean Deviled Eggs

Ingredients

• Hard boiled egg white halves
• 1 hard boiled egg yolk

Instructions

Mix cottage cheese, Dijon mustard and a little spike seasoning together. Amounts are up to you depending on how spicy you want it. Fill egg white halves with mixtures and sprinkle with some paprika.
You can also use this recipe to make egg salad. If you don't like cottage cheese try whipping it with an electronic mixer and add a splash of milk or use Greek yogurt!

Sculpting your body with ChaLEAN Extreme

Many Beachbody workouts are highly publicized on TV and therefore are very familiar to the general public. Some of these programs include Insanity and P90X. Most people have heard of at least one of the two. However, there are many programs that are not as familiar and are rarely showcased on TV for the world to see. ChaLEAN Extreme is one of these workout programs. After seeing these results from Lindsay Mataway, I decided to give ChaLEAN Extreme a try.

After trying ChaLEAN Extreme myself and absolutely loving it, I wanted to provide you with a brief overview of what you should expect.

Chalene Johnson, the trainer, is such an amazing inspiration. She is a true leader and encourages you each day to become the best that you can be! She is not annoying, rather motivating and inspiring. She encourages you to lift heavy and push yourself each day. LOVE HER! I was skeptical that I could get a good strength training workout without going to the gym. Chalene definitely proved me wrong! I swear, my entire body was sore the first week of this workout program!

ChaLEAN Extreme consists of 15 workouts on 6 different DVDs. The program is divided into 3 phases. Each phase is 30 days long for a total of 90 days.

Phase 1: BURN

In this phase, you will burn fat and jump start your metabolism. A majority of the workouts are done using 5-25 lb. weights. There is also some plyometrics and kickboxing incorporated into a few of these DVDs.

Phase 2: PUSH

Chalene takes strength training to a whole new level by pushing you to go beyond your comfort zone to build muscle. Don't worry about "getting bulky" using this program. Your muscle will be lean and sexy!

Phase 3: LEAN

This last phase is designed to lean out your body in order to reveal your newly sculpted muscles.

Remember that the key to seeing results as with any program is to combine proper eating with your program. You will receive a Muscle Burns Fat Guidebook with your program that provides you with meal suggestions for each phase of the program. This takes all of the guesswork out of your training and nutrition!
