CLIENT SPOTLIGHT! 💫💫 Meet Elena Cappelmann, a 31-year-old member of the Coast Guard, Crossfitter, and dog mom! Elena began working with Coach Meg in March 2023, her primary goal being to lose weight and build muscle! Elena has persevered through several challenges; including trying to stay active while dealing with a knee injury, working on weight loss while triathlon training, and making time and space for nutritious choices and workouts while in school to be an independent duty health care service technician. While her abs and biceps pop, the most noticeable thing about Elena is her consistent work ethic and hustle. She never complains, always does the best that she can under challenging circumstances, is honest about the process with her coach, and does the hard work that has to be done in order to achieve her goals. The lesson to be learned? Consistent effort makes what was once difficult not so hard anymore. The results speak for themselves.

A quote from this legend? “Losing weight and this journey have not been easy but having a coach who is amazing made it possible. I am grateful beyond words.” 🥹🫶

Keep up the great work, Elena! 💪🏻

Did you know?

To a large degree, eating balanced meals and snacks containing protein, carbohydrates, and fat will help athletes feel full between meals, but for some, looking at the glycemic index of foods is an important factor in deciding what foods to eat.

Some foods, like white rice and watermelon, have a relatively high glycemic index and might be a good choice for someone who has limited time to digest food prior to a workout. Other foods, like green beans
and spaghetti squash, have a relatively low glycemic index and could be a good choice for someone who is trying to avoid feeling hungry between meals.

Adjusting your carbohydrate sources to those that are faster- or slower-digesting may result in faster nutrient availability or longer feelings of satiety between meals.

Those yolks 😍

For those who prefer savory breakfasts or breakfast for dinner, enter this awesome recipe from Women’s Health Magazine starring eggs, oats, and kale! One of the habits I’m committing to in 2023 is having at least one serving of veggies with each meal, including breakfast. For those who are trying to watch their caloric intake or trim down, this recipe was super satisfying but not at all heavy! See below 😊🥬🍳🥣

Ingredients:

-2 tbsp olive oil
-1 tsp grated ginger
-1 5 oz package baby kale
-salt to taste
-4 tsp vegetable bouillon base
-2 cups old-fashioned oats
-1 tap toasted sesame oil
-4 soft-boiled eggs, halved

*you can add toasted sesame strips, nori strips, and sliced scallions for serving (I skipped these)

1) Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add ginger and stir for 1 min. Add kale, season with a small amount of salt and stir occasionally for 2 mins. Transfer kale to a bowl and toss any remaining liquid.

2) In the same pan, add 4 cups water and bouillon base and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer, add in oats, and stir occasionally for 6-10 mins. Add in sesame oil.

3) Spoon oatmeal into bowls and top with kale and eggs. Add sesame seeds, nori strips, and sliced scallions. Enjoy!

Anyone else still weaning themselves off holiday treats but still wanting to enjoy some of the comfort foods of winter? 🍪Enter this “healthier than usual” cookie recipe I found in Women’s Health Magazine! I made a few tweaks to the original, and these actually turned out delicious. There’s nothing worse than making a healthy cookie that tastes like crap 😂

Ingredients:

-2 cups oat flour

-1/2 cup Ascent Cookies n Cream whey protein powder

-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1/4 tsp salt
-8 tbsp unsalted butter
-1/4 cup light brown sugar

-1/4 cup sugar (consider using Stevia or agave nectar to taste if you are watching sugar sources/calories)

-1/4 cup almond butter
-2 eggs
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Mix first four ingredients listed. Then whisk together remainder of ingredients in a separate bowl. Fold together and do not overmix. Form dough into cookie-shaped balls on baking sheet and bake 10-13 mins. Get creative and try other things like nuts, dried fruit, pretzels, etc. as mix-ins! Enjoy! 🤤😋

If you’re looking to make changes involving your nutrition, fitness routine, or even just general health, the inbody scanner is the best way to find a starting point!

machine gives you an overall detailed report of not only your weight and body fat, but also your skeletal muscle mass, dry lean mass, water weight, BMI, body impedance analysis and basal metabolic rate (Cals burned).

If you don’t know what a lot of that means, we can help you! Nutrition certified coach Rachel will help you analyze your numbers and create a plan for moving forward. 5 minute scans can be scheduled online.

Put yourself first and chase your goals! They won’t work unless you do 😉

When I’m busy, the first thing to suffer is my hydration! I’ve noticed that in our area, it’s pretty hot until around Halloween, so here are some friendly reminders as we hit the halfway point of summer weather! ☀️👙🏝💦

This stuff is SO important and so frequently overlooked when you’re looking at either your nutrition or your recovery goals. Thank you so much for these

Check out this recipe I found for Cowboy Caviar! This is great as a healthier dip for chips or crackers and tastes awesome as a side paired with steak!

Ingredients:
1 15 oz can of black-eyed peas
1 15 oz can black beans
1 can show peg corn
1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
2-3 diced avocados
4 green onions, sliced thin

Drain and rinse the black-eyed peas, beans, and corn. Mix with tomatoes and cilantro. Add onions, avocado, lime juice, and dressing. Mix well, and add salt and pepper to taste. Chill until cold and flavors have had time to marinate. Serve the same day as prepared if possible.

Here are some of our favorites for you to try this summer! Why is it smart to include foods in your diet that are “in season” and/or local to your area?

1) It tastes better!!

2) It’s cheaper, especially if produced locally.

3) In season foods are more likely to have a higher nutrient content

4) They are less likely to be contaminated with chemicals that preserve the food for travel and export

5) It’s more environmentally friendly

6) Eating locally/in season supports local farms and the local economy

Make it a goal this week to try a new fruit or veggie from your local area! 🍓🍑🍉🌽🍅

Ingredients:

1 scoop vanilla collagen protein
