I am a fitness junkie, a sneaker connoisseur, a lover of anything pink, a daily you tube user, and a certified personal trainer and group x instructor. It is my mission to show each client, gym member and class participant just what their bodies can do. My fitness philosophy is focused around "What can your body do?", changing the focus from what we look like to how our bodies perform and function. The Fitness with a Purpose Newsletter and Blog is a place where you can find tips, tools, and tactics on how to make fitness a lifestyle and maximize each workout and meal to enable you to become as fit and healthy as possible. This is also a place where I share my personal experiences with my own fitness and quest to see just what my body can do when I set a goal and do what ever is possible to achieve that goal. Consistent action produces consistent results!

Healthy food for the week




Every morning I sip my coffee and prepare our meals for the day. When you prep and prepare your food for the day on a consistent basis you will notice that your overall health and fitness will be consistent as well. Clean food will give you energy for the day to not only conquer the endless to do list we all have as well as the many priorities we would like to pay attention to, but you will have adequate energy to perform at a high level in the gym, on your run or bike, or training at the gym in class or with your trainer. Those who do not prep and prepare snacks and meals for the day will find themselves reaching for anything to curb their need for food, and these choices could be sabotaging your quest for a slim waist line.

This week we will have:

Meals to have for both lunch and dinner prepared and stored in fridge

1 crock pot of chicken thigh meat marinated in vegetable broth, shallots, celery, and carrots
1lb of chicken tenders dipped in egg whites and almond flour, baked, and ready to throw on top of salads
1 pot roast with sweet potatoes, yicama, onions, vegetable broth, celery and carrots
Salmon filet for dinner served with a fresh salad
Ribeye served with sauteed squash

Snacks:

apple and almond butter
chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots
Berries and almonds
small salads topped with crock pot dinner topped with avocado
grapefruit
almond flour pancakes topped with berries

breakfast:
oatmeal, fruit,and nuts
egg white scramble with bell peppers, spinach, and pot roast
2 eggs, 2 almond pancake
egg whites with left over ribeye, veggies
banana, almond butter, 1 egg

Take 2 hours every weekend to prep and prepare a few meals and snacks that will get you through the week making smart choices in order for you to see the results you are working for!
