Dreaming of mountain climbers...

Dream in action

CLICK ON DREAM IN ACTION above!  I had a dream about this workout, rolled out of bed (got dressed) and taped this quick mountain climber routine that you can add to your ab days! I only did a few rounds for video purposes, but I would do 10 of these 3 times. A routine would look a little like this;

10 Mountain Climber Dreamer

10 crunches

10 reverse crunch

10 Bicycles

repeat 3 times

Try it out and let me know what you think!

Are you clogged up? You might need food combining.

FOOD COMBINING

This way of eating was originally introduced by Dr. William Hay in the 1920's.  It has been brought back into the spotlight by a wildly popular book, The Beauty Detox Solution, written by Clinical Nutritionist Kimberly Snyder. Both Hay and Snyder suggest that food combining helps with digestion, making you feel less bloated.  Better digestion means pooping more and experiencing less gas & discomfort after meals.  All good things, yes?

I am not one to recommend you do exactly what they recommend in their research.  I recommend to you to LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.  If it gets upset after a certain food or meal, take note and don't repeat it.  That being said, I have used a couple of these food combinations in my diet, mostly later in the day and they 

really seem to help.  

BASIC Food Combining 

* Eat fruit on am empty stomach.  Only exception is mixing them with green leafy veggies. Green Smoothies!

* Veggies combine well with animal protein.

* Veggies combine with nuts & seeds.

* Veggies combine with legumes & beans.

* Veggies combine with non-gluten grains (Buckwheat, Corn, Quinoa, GF Oats, Millet).

* One category of protein per meal (nuts/seeds, legumes/beans or animal protein).

* Choose either a protein or a starch/grain per meal, but do not combine.

I am always trying to post information that can help.  So if you are one that seems to be backed up more than usual and you think it is normal, it just might not be. It would be worth trying some of these out.  

There is a lot more to food combining if you Google it, these are only the basics.  I recommend drinking 2-3 liters of water a day also.  Keep things moving and keep your body happy.

Live, Laugh and Rock it friends!

Happy Fathers Day

Just a little personal note.

My dad is my rock.
My brother is my partner in crime.

They are the ones that have held me up when I was down and encouraged me more when I was up. Thank you for the being best.  Happy Fathers Day to both my dad and my brother and to all you amazing dads out there.  

A dad holds a place in a girls heart that no one can replace.

Getting Bored with Breakfast?

Are you bored with your same breakfast day in and day out? Here are a few quick healthy and protein packed breakfasts for you all to make.  I am a creature of habit, always having my egg whites and oatmeal....seriously...for 4 years every morning. 
I have started to step out of my Quaker oats box and thought I would share with you what I am experimenting with these days. 

Spicy Egg White Scramble

6 egg whites
1 cup of spinach
1 tbsp of diced onion
1 tbsp of diced bell pepper

Warm all ingredients on stove in a large pan until thoroughly cooked.
When done splash with some hot sauce.  Add a slice of Ezekiel bread for some healthy carbs and energy.  Or wrap it up in a low carb tortilla. YUM!

Delicious Over Night Oats
warning- you will need an airtight canister for this.

1.5 cups Rolled Oats
2/3 cup Almond Milk
1/2 cup Nonfat vanilla or regular greek yogurt
1 tbsp chia seeds 
Pinch of Cinnamon 

The Night Before (hence overnight oats) add all the ingredents listed above together in your airtight canister. Mix and seal.  Place in your refrigerator and it will be ready for you to devour in the morning.  

If you want some extra flavor, mix in your favorite fruits.  
My favorites are blueberries and bananas.  Some other ideas: Honey, Maple Syrup (don't go too crazy with this), Peanut Butter, All Natural Strawberry Jam, and Pumpkin Puree.

Waffle WHAT! Breakfast Treat

Check out Van's Power Grains Waffles.  Gluten Free, 5 grams of Fat for 2!, 26 carbs and 10 grams of protein.

1-2 Van's Waffles
1 tbsp All Natural Peanut Butter
1/4 cup mixed berries

2 scrambled egg whites

Easy and quick prep.  Toast the waffle, slap the PB on it and top with berries.  Scramble up a few egg whites and breakfast is ready!

I will do these one in a while when I am needing a carb influx or I am gearing up for a long run or bike. 

I hope you find these recipes fun, different and delicious. Let me know if you try them and what you think.  I am always looking for new ways get my friends and myself eating healthy without eating boring foods!

Live, Laugh and Rock it,

Missy
