Be Selfish, Stir-Fry, Power Jump

Tip of the Day: Be Selfish

In order to get where you want to be you need to put yourself (your health)be fore everyone. Don't feel bad, it won't make you a bad husband/wife, friend, or mother/father if you need to leave for the gym a couple hours every other day. In fact, it'll make you better! It will make you more confident, tolerant, and fun. You'll feel better about yourself therefore making yourself more fun to be around! So come on, be selfish!


Healthy Recipe: Stir-Fry

Asian food is yummy, but super unhealthy when you get it from a fast food joint. Make your own, and make it healthy!

Olive oil
Onion
Red pepper
Egg
Reduced-sodium soy sauce
Hot sauce to taste
Precooked chicken
Cooked brown rice
Scallions

Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onion softens. Add the egg, stirring frequently. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes more, until the egg firms up. Add the soy sauce, hot sauce, chicken, rice, and scallions, stir, and cook for about 3 minutes more, until it's all well blended.


Exercise: Power Jump

I love this exercise! It really helps you feel like you have power! All you need is a step/box, or even a bench if you're feeling super powerful.

Start facing the box/step/bench, feet shoulder width apart. Engaging your core, jump up, landing with both feet on the box, shoulder width apart. Step back down to starting position and repeat, 2 sets of 12-15.
