Ingredients in Blueberry Chèvre, Chicken & Heirloom Tomato Salad Recipe

• Mixed greens- (like spring mix, arugula, and spinach) are a low-calorie, nutrient-dense powerhouse. They provide a rich blend of essential vitamins (A, C, K), iron, and dietary fiber. Consuming mixed greens supports heart health, improves digestion, promotes weight management, and delivers antioxidants that reduce chronic inflammation. 
• Chicken- has a very high protein content, which plays a very important role in sustaining our muscles. Rich in calcium and phosphorous for healthy bones. Stress reliever with tryptophane and vitamin B5. Immunity booster too!
• Tomatoes- antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamin K.
• Carrots- are a particularly good source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. They also have a number of health benefits. They’re a weight-loss-friendly food and have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health.
• Chevre Cheese- A serving of goat cheese delivers 6 grams of filling protein along with a powerful combination of calcium, phosphorus and copper — nutrients that are essential for healthy bones. Plus, goat cheese provides healthy fats, including medium-chain fatty acids, that can improve satiety and benefit weight loss.

Yay for Nichole and Fit Friday!!! Here… we… GO!!!

Summer is on the way! For most of us that means we are getting ready to head outside in shorts and tank tops, head to the beach or pool in swimming suits, and walk out the door in cute summer dresses for a day out with the girls. Are you noticing a trend there? The clothes are small.

Many of us are guilty of being overly critical of ourselves. You notice every little flaw in your wonderful body. And as the clothes get smaller and the layers come off those criticisms often double.

Today’s fit tips aren’t a new workout or tips to healthier eating, instead today’s tips are focused on having a healthier relationship with your body. These tips will take some practice and patience, but they are so important and well worth the effort. As a personal trainer and a trained therapist these are the tips I wish I could instill most in my clients and even more so in my children.

1) Relax. Find things to do that help you relax. For me that includes running, reading, and fun with the family (that last one comes with a lot of “ifs”)

2) Establish healthy goals that have nothing to do with a number on a scale or a number on your tag. Healthy goals that revolve around sleep habits, healthier eating, race goals, keeping up with your kids, etc. Remember the best goals are S.M.A.R.T. goals. Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timetable.

3) Throw out your scale. A daily weigh in is not the way to start your day!

4) Ditch the diet. Instead focus on a healthier lifestyle. A couple of weeks ago I talked about tips for intuitive eating, if you missed it go back and take a peak.

5) Practice self-acceptance. Positive affirmations are a great way to start the day. “I am strong.” “I am capable.” “I accept myself.” Positive affirmations are meant to remind you of your own abilities. Focusing on those positives will help them grow and become even stronger. Focusing on the negatives does the same, they grow and become stronger, taking over your soul.

I know that these are easier said than done tips, but they are so important. Instead of using all of your energy stressing about your weight or how the macros in your next snack channel that energy into having a healthier relationship with your body.
