Grilled Sweet Potatoes

Many of my clients struggle with finding carbs that are considered "healthy". We are so used to breads, noodles, and french fries that we often have a hard time figuring out a healthy carb option that the whole family can enjoy. Here is an idea that your family will love! Serve with a protein such as chicken, fish or beef. Add a vegetable such as asparagus for an amazingly healthy meal! Grilled Sweet Potatoes  You will need:

• 2-4 sweet potatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or vinegar of choice

Step 1: Boil sweet potatoes for approximately 10 minutes. Remove from burner after 10 minutes, strain water, and allow to cool. Once potatoes are cool, cut into strips.

 

 Step 2: Combine all other ingredients in a bowl.

 

 Step 3: Brush ingredients from bowl onto both sides of all sweet potato slices.

 

 Step 4: Place sweet potato slices in a grill basket.
 

 Step 5: Place grill basket on grill on medium to high heat and cook for at least 15 minutes or until basket lines are burned into the bottom sides of sweet potatoes.

 

 Enjoy!

Healthy Breakfast Hash

GOOD MORNING!!!!

A few days ago I was searching for new breakfast recipes and came across this amazing looking recipe on Nom Nom Paleo. I decided to try a modified version. I'm all for SIMPLE meals that don't take many ingredients or prep work. This breakfast makes 2 servings and is the perfect protein/carb balance. If you are doing the 21 Day Fix meal plan, you will want to use your yellow container to measure your sweet potatoes or yams. 

Here is what you'll need:

• 1 Yam or Sweet Potato
• Green onion or chives
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic Powder to taste
• Coconut Oil
• 4 eggs

Here is how you will prepare your hash:



  Grate 1 yam or sweet potato. Place in a large bowl.



Mix yam/sweet potato with green onion/chives, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (all spices to taste).

   

Grease a skillet with coconut oil and heat a skillet to medium heat. Add your yam/potato mixture. Cook until yams/potatoes are cooked and mildly browned. 



 When your potatoes are nearly cooked, fry four eggs in a small amount of coconut oil. Feel free to cook eggs just the way you like them. When you are finished, slide two eggs onto the top of 1/2 of your yam/potato hash. There you have it! The perfect simple and tasty healthy breakfast.

P90X3 Results for Women

P90X3 test group results are finally in. I am SUPER stoked to see the amazing results that this group had. Most of you are probably familiar with all of the hype that P90X has generated over the last few years. Personally, I had a hard time with the duration of the workouts in X. When P90X2 came out, I wasn't a fan of so much core work and again, the duration of the workouts. So, the selling point for me with X3 is that it's a well rounded workout that can be completed in 30 minutes!!!!

  Questions you might be asking... Do I have to be a graduate of P90X or P90X2 to complete this program? The answer is NO!  It’s the workout that took notes from it’s siblings, then condensed, and accelerated to become the most dynamic and fastest workout yet. EVERYONE can find 30 minutes a day! The thing that I appreciate most about working out at home is that you can get up and GET TO WORK! No drive time! I used to spend at least 45 minutes a day driving to the gym and back home first in the morning for cardio and then for strength training. I absolutely LOVE being able to have more time with my family now that I work out at home. 

  Can I get a better workout at a gym…

The answer to this question varies. MAYBE! If you are a seasoned athlete or have followed instructions from a trainer or read a lot of magazines, you may know exactly what to do when you hit the gym.  Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE a great workout at the gym and still like to change things up here and there. But…if you are anything like I was 6 years ago, staying home, going for a walk around the block, and watching my eating would have given me better results than going to the gym and getting on the elliptical for 30 minutes. If there's anything that I want to drive home it's CARDIO DOES NOT CHANGE YOUR BODY! In order to see true changes, you need to incorporate strength training into your routine along with a tuned in nutritional plan. P90X3 along with my challenge group can give you the EXACT tools that you need to see TRUE CHANGE! You simply need to push play and do the WORK! 

What is the science behind P90X3… 

Many P90X fans were hooked on the science of muscle confusion – which introduced variety to the workouts and prevented plateauing. P90X3 takes a hint from that success and from studies showing the most dramatic body transformations happen within the first 30 minutes of exercise. Enter muscle acceleration, a Tony Horton-approved highly-structured schedule with an incredibly high level of intensity and an unprecedented variety of moves. The gurus behind P90X3 combined exercises and added some twists to maximize your time and keep every muscle challenged for a full 30 minutes.

 Will I get bored with working out at home to this program... Which brings us to the fun-factor. Host, world-renown fitness ledgend, Tony Horton does not disappoint. With his witty one-liners and can-do mantras, he’ll simultaneously have you laughing and fired-up to bust out that final rep. Along with the constant entertainment, P90X3 has the most workouts of any Beachbody program. With 16 workouts in the base kit, they switch it up before you have a chance to consider boredom. From cardio to strength to pilates to MMX, there is something for everyone. 

Can I successfully do P90X3…

It may seem lofty to proclaim, but P90X3 is indeed a workout for everyone.  Everyone searching for tighter abs and leaner muscles, that is. But fitness novices and experts need not be afraid by P90X3’s come-one-come-all invitation. You don’t have to have any previous P90X experience in order to get killer results. For the beginner, the variety of workouts in P90X3 is the perfect place to discover their fitness style. If the move can be modified there is a cast member showing you how. But don’t expect to be an expert on day one. (Yes, fitness veterans will still be challenged.) As Tony says, ”You don’t get off easy, you just get to finish faster!” 

What are the perks for purchasing from you as my coach…

And of course there are some bells and whistles too good to ignore. First off, the Coach exclusive: If P90X3 is purchased through me as a COACH any time from December 10th – 31st (including Challenge Packs), YOU will receive an exclusive P90X3 baseball cap. What better way to spread the word about this revolutionary program?

Will X3 get here before CHRISTMAS if I order…

Orders placed through me by December 15th will get here before CHRISTMAS!!!! This is super exciting! I can't think of a better gift for anyone interested in getting healthy and fit!

 

     

Pre-season for my exclusive team test group will start on December 30th! Workouts and program will start on January 6th. I am only selecting a select few that are totally committed to 90 days of this program. You will get in the best shape of your life if you are willing to implement the things that you will learn in this group. I'm not looking for people that are are going to workout for a week and stop. I'm looking for true commitment. I will be by your side every step of this program, helping you learn how to change your nutrition, fit workouts into your busy lifestyle, and make changes that are family friendly and sustainable for the rest of your life.
