Get the Weekly Scoop on Sunday

Hi Everyone! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day & Evacuation Day!   I hope you celebrate with a healthy green treat!  We celebrate both holidays whole-heartedly in Boston!  

As part of your free Team Beachbody account with me as your coach, you'll be receiving a weekly newsletter with recipes and tips for healthy living!   

Here you are...

MEALSPIRATION SPOTLIGHT: Kale Chips
(of course I had to pick something green for St. Patrick's Day!) 

  • 1 large bunch kale, tough stems removed, leaves torn into pieces (about 16 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    1. Position racks in upper third and center of oven; preheat to 400°F.
    2. If kale is wet, very thoroughly pat dry with a clean kitchen towel; transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle the kale with oil and sprinkle with salt. Using your hands, massage the oil and salt onto the kale leaves to evenly coat. Fill 2 large rimmed baking sheets with a layer of kale, making sure the leaves don’t overlap. (If the kale won’t all fit, make the chips in batches.)
    3. Bake until most leaves are crisp, switching the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through, 8 to 12 minutes total. (If baking a batch on just one sheet, start checking after 8 minutes to prevent burning.)
    Let me know if you try them!

    FUN FACT SPOTLIGHT: When you do exercises like the plank, think "apples not applesauce!"
    Simply put, engage your bum. We all sit so much that our bum muscles are often on holiday. To help "turn them on", squeeze your bum muscles so your rear end becomes hard like an apple, not soft like applesauce.

    MOTIVATION SPOTLIGHT:
    "Weight loss is not a physical challenge.  It's a mental one." 

    Do you agree or disagree?

    FINANCIAL HEALTH SPOTLIGHT: Credit Cards 
    “Pay off or pay down credit card debt with any existing savings,” says Tom Gilovich, psychology professor at Cornell University, co-author of Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes and a TIME Moneyland contributor. With credit card APRs averaging nearly 15%, people with credit card debt pay much more in interest than they can earn by having that money invested elsewhere.
