Who can relate?? It was leg day for me yesterday. I finished my workout late so I skipped stretching afterwards. And I really feel it today! Stretching is important because it lengthens the muscles that were just shortened during all those reps you just did. Stretching eliminates the lactic acid that builds up in your muscles during a workout. Stretching also improves flexibility and increases blood flow. Do yourself a favor and take the time to stretch after you exercise! 🏋️‍♂️

It’s cold outside!! It finally feels like November here in Pennsylvania and nothing is better for warming the family up like a hot bowl of chili. A great source of protein and fiber, this chili has 4 different types of beans and ground beef, but you can use any beans you have on hand. You could also use ground turkey instead of ground beef. What cold weather foods do you like?

Eat foods that benefit your body. Don’t eat foods that poison your body. This is the equivalent of nutritional poisoning.

“If I eat this, my pancreas will flood my body w/ almost toxic amounts of Insulin. My Triglycerides will skyrocket leading to fat storage. An inflammatory cascade will ignite & since I received no nutritional value to balance Leptin & Ghrelin, I will be starving soon. Just say no”

Salad inspiration! I had berries and some leftover homemade chicken nuggets. (I make a huge batch of these and they are great for salads and quick kids meals!) I used a base of arugula and baby spinach, added the berries, toasted pine nuts, chicken, and topped it with a lemon poppyseed dressing. So good and gluten-free and dairy-free!

Olive oil is loaded with omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, making it the healthiest oil available. One TBS of extra virgin olive oil provides 4% of daily minimum of omega-3 and more than 40% of the daily allotment of monounsaturated fat. Olive oil is the primary source of added fat in the Mediterranean diet and can be used in place of butter when preparing foods.

On the menu today - Chest & Back with . I was so pumped when I was able to increase the weight for the bent over flys. Back and core strength is my weakness due to spine surgery that I had a few years ago. This is proof that small everyday actions lead to big results! Don’t give up - it doesn’t happen overnight.

You will love this chopped salad with chicken, buckwheat, carrots, apples, and cucumbers with a collard green base. Topped with a tangy dressing and chopped pistachios. This is the perfect balance of flavor in a nutrient dense meal. What I love about this salad is that it is super customizable! Swap out the buckwheat for quinoa or farro. Swap out the collard greens for arugula or spinach. Swap out the apples for nectarines. Swap out chicken for tofu or chickpeas to make this vegan. So good and so good for you!
