Time-friendly and healthy Breakfast

Breakfast is crucial to your fitness goals! Choosing unhealthy food or skipping it entirely can derail your attempts. Think of the word "breakfast"...it literally means "break the fast." The fast that occurred while you were asleep. Its a jump start for the body and mind. Planning is always important. Check out this egg white breakfast wrap that I made this morning. Half of it is only 250 calories. The other half is wrapped up and packed away for an early lunch on the road. Summer is coming...no excuses ;) Ingredients: 3 egg whites 1 spinach wrap Jalepeno peppers 1/4 cup tomatoes 1 tablespoon guacamole salsa 1 cup spinach 1 slice turkey bacon

Practice makes Progress

Sitting down to write the first post on this particular project has me looking through the notebooks filled articles with recipes, practices and other topics that I have written about for years. Immediately, I began laying out months of content in my head before I took a step back. A step back to sit in silence with no distractions and reflect on why I am embarking on this in the first place. Why I was actually able to take a step back and meditate on it. I am repeatedly reminded that life is a journey and we take small steps from the moment we enter the world. Cliches such as "not putting the cart before the horse" spring to mind. My yoga practice has taught me that practice makes progress....and that perfection is an overrated, unattainable goal. Taking one step at a time and being in the "here and now" as layers unfold is much more important than spending our lives rushing towards the finish line. My intention is that you enjoy what unfolds here layer by layer. Namaste'.
