 Pat Tillman Hero WorkoutWe remember Patrick Tillman, whose end of watch was April 22, 2004. Tillman was a Arizona Cardinals football player who left the National Football League and enlisted in the United States Army in May 2002. He joined the Army Rangers and served multiple tours in combat before he was killed in the mountains of Afghanistan. He was a recipient of the Silver Star, the third highest honor in the military, and a Purple Heart. Pat is survived by his wife Marie. He is also remembered through the foundation named in his honor.
Founded in 2004, the Pat Tillman Foundation invests in military veterans and their spouses through academic scholarships – building a diverse community of leaders committed to service to others. The scholars chosen show extraordinary academic and leadership potential, a true sense of vocation, and a deep commitment to create positive change through their work in the fields of medicine, law, business, education and the arts. You can learn more about Pat Tillman in the book, Where Men Win Glory, by Jon Krakauer.

 Meg is excited to run! What's For Dinner?Eating dinner can be a chore or a delight. My wish for everyone is that dinner is a delight. A time for you to connect with friends and family. A special time when the pace of life slows down and you get to focus on just one thing. Having a meal plan makes answering the "what's for dinner?" question so much easier! If what's for dinner is a test, a meal plan makes it easy to get the right answer. What's for dinner? What I have planned is what's for dinner! Sometimes, coming up with the plan can be as much of a mental load as cooking the plan. That's why I am delighted to share with you my new favorite food blog, What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking. Every week, Caroline Chambers, creates a delicious and healthy meal plan to get you through the week. I hope you enjoy this week's Really Simple Meal Plan V21.  Click on the image above for a Really Simple Meal Plan:)  Horray! It's deadlift day Spring is here and With it a 30-Day Checklist of Spring CleaningI don't know about you, but I really want to declutter and get rid of anything that no longer serves me. April is a great month to spend a little time every day making your home a place that calms your spirit. There is strong evidence that clutter, old stuff, and accumulation of stuff we no longer need and use can be detrimental to our mental health. Oftentimes, when faced with a big project like "spring cleaning," I get overwhelmed with how to start. That's why I LOVE this 30-day checklist. Go in order each day, or complete the tasks that resonate most with you. It doesn't matter how you start or how you finish. Something is better than nothing and momentum creates motivation. Good luck and let me know how your spring cleaning goes!  Download and print a pdf of the checklist below.

Fruit is NOT sugar.
Welcome to Myth Busting Monday. I'm always surprised by the fruit is sugar myth. It bums me out when perfectly good food gets unfairly burdened with a crime it didn't commit.
Whole foods, like delicious and nutritious fruit, is full of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and water. The sugar in fruit is ignorantly compared to table sugar. Table sugar, sucrose, is comprised of glucose and fructose subunits. Yes, it's true sucrose has the same energy as an equal measure of fructose, the kind of sugar in fruit. The comparison ends there. Fruit's sugar is bound in fiber and other healthy parts of the food. The fiber slows the digestion of fructose and the remaining parts of the fruit give you other nutritious benefits. Fruit is an important part of a healthy diet that you can happily and shamelessly eat with your breakfast, lunch and dinner. Check out the post below from OptimizeMe Nutrition comparing equal calories of fruit to table sugar. |
