If you love eggplant you no doubt have had eggplant parmesan.  While that is a delicious plate this is another way to eat it.  This is a very healthy style; all ingredients are fresh and nutritious.  Give this a shot next time you want to try out something new with eggplant.

Holiday times are times when we get together with our friends and loved ones to have good food and good company.  That includes lots of sweet and rich foods.  Its fun to try some new recipes.  Instead of traditional pumpkin pie why not try something new this holiday season.

Another holiday is upon us!  For those of us in the United States, it is our national birthday, the 4th of July.  When a holiday comes upon us we enjoy it and we do the best we can to find ways to celebrate.  We celebrate with our friends or family, we go to others houses to watch the fireworks and we eat lots of unhealthy food.

Water is one of the most important part of our daily lives. Your body needs water to survive.

​It is part of the rule of three, 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. Your body might exceed those time limits but it is a good, easy to remember guideline.  Needless to say water is essential to your survival.

This post is to give a brief overview of what macronutrients are and briefly how they interact in the body.  Details will be discussed in future blog posts including break downs of how to count your macronutrients in various diets and more details on caloric intake.  This article is to go in conjunction with the food list which can be found here.

Welcome to my webpage.  I'm a mindset coach who specializes in your physical wellbeing.  I love fitness and being in shape and I want others to be healthy too.  Being healthy doesn't mean you have to be a body builder.  Nor does it mean you need to be a fitness guru.  It means you need to be happy with who you are.  If you are a runner do that, a biker, make sure you ride, if you surf, go surfing.  We are all different with different goals and ambitions.  

I want to help you in a two-fold way.  First of all if you are a couch potato then I want to get you off the couch and help you find what you like doing.  I want you to be happy being healthy and take care of yourself by doing what you like.  Part of that is finding foods you like to eat that are healthy for you.  These two things will help you become healthy.  My second goal in helping you; I want you to be happy and motivated in doing the things that make you healthy.  I want your mindset to be a healthy mindset.  To look at the exercise you do (again surf, row, hike, run etc.) as something which is fun and adventurous.  I want your mindset to be so healthy that your body follows behind.  Your mindset is what is important; after all where the mind leads the body will follow.  That is much more than a saying, it is the truth.

More posts to follow and I'm looking forward to learning all about each of you.  Until then; Happy Lifting and Strive to Arrive!
