Week 3 Winds Down

Dude......

So, I am completely inspired by everyone on the blog, and it is amazing to see the positivity from all of my fellow Team Trainers. And, I'm feeling like I need to rely on some of this because this week, for me, has been hard. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm feeling crazy tired. I can feel my body changing in a positive way, and I have definitely put on some muscle in just three weeks. The scale hasn't changed for me, but I'm hoping that will turn around soon. I'm trying to stay positive, and the Julies helped out a great deal last night at Pump. Plus my girl Charlene was doing all that she could to keep us going, and the Kelly(i)s are awesome team members. But it felt hard.

We are supposed to use the blog to state when it is tough, and, well, this week has been that. I need to reboot! Alright, enough of that, I'll bring it starting this weekend, but just thought I would share. If you see me, tell me to suck it up.

Oh, and I'm not the best cook, but here's a good healthy recipe:

1 1/2 cup kale
1 package Tofu Lin tofu (available at Whole Foods)
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil


1. De-stem the kale, wash it, and chop it coarsely.
2. Slice the tofu into small chunks.
3. Crush the garlic and quickly sautee it in the oil.
4. Add the kale to the garlic, wilting slightly. Add the vinegar to the kale to preserve color.
5. Throw in the tofu and sear it a bit to add a crunch.

Enjoy! Add red pepper flakes for flavor if you would like. (By the by, kids hate this....but it's worth a try.)
