On the GO go go!

Hello B-fitters! Salutations and all that good stuff! Where have I been...busy! On the GO! But have I forgotten you? No! A few times a year I like you to have time to peruse the blog and catch up on all this healthy, great information before we move on with more. So back to my "on the go" comment, seriously life is busy, mine, yours, everyone's! But good nutrition and taking care of yourself should always run along side that busy. You can't keep up a fast pace without food fuel, so think before you run out that door. Organize your "busy", so life is not chaotic, but full and vibrant! When you say you're busy, be busy and blessed! Don't bite off more than you can chew, your life is by your design! Pair back the unimportant and take on the most important only! Do what matters to you, and you will find peace in the busy. And food food food, pack those snacks for your on the go! Just this morning I have sliced apples, two hardboiled eggs, and a protein bar to take with me. No excuses, you can do this too! Pack a salad the night before for tomorrow's lunch, while you are making one at dinner. Double duty! Organize your life and find peace in the busy, all at the same time. Stay ahead of your meals, and your food choices will not include a drive thru window, ya dig? AND you know veggies are #1, make them a priority! Chop and place in your togo bag for on the go munching! Need a change up snack? Here is a great idea from our reader, Cindy. Cindy's veggie go to for a quick snack or side dish...Asparagus crisps....Asparagus dipped in egg wash, then a flour, panko, parmesan and salt, pepper mixture, spray rack on top of a baking sheet and place asparagus. Bake 400,15minutes and you have a healthy, crunchy, snack! (And you can do the same with any of your favorite veg!) Move over chips, there's a new snack in town! So next time you tell a friend you are busy, reevaluate what that means to you....are you simply busy or fulfilled? Your life, your design, your choices, B-FIT4U!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from B-FIT4U! It's Good Friday and hopefully the sun is shining where you are, or at least in your heart because you have taken your health into your own hands and are on your way through a successful life health journey! Remember this holiday to be mindful of all those yummy eats and chocolate bunnies! Don't use an occasion as an excuse to forget all you have been working towards....a healthier you! So pick and choose this weekend when you will treat yourself and when you will remember serving sizes and portions. You can have all those yummy things if you remember your portion control! I know I have my eye on a certain chocolate bunny but also a plethora of beautiful spring salads and lean proteins all dolled up for Easter, both delicious AND healthy! It truly is about BALANCE in your LIFE from work to play, sleep to exercise activity, and healthy eats vs treats. So choose a balanced life full of healthy choices and remember to always B-FIT4U! Hoppy Easter Bunnies! -FoodieGIRL
