Inspiring Others to Believe in Themselves ... Small Daily Improvements = Exceptional Results Over Time!!
About Me...
"What is easy to do is also easy not to do." To do or not to do is the question? Every day I make the choice to press play and complete my workout. I feel full of energy and a sense of accomplishment when my workout is done for the day. I am excited to be on this journey of fitness and hope to bring you along with me. I look forward to seeing all of your fitness, wellness, and life dreams come true. Join me in the journey!
I have always had an interest in my fitness, and have been going to the gym for many years either to walk or to take a class. The gym that we were members at was about 35 minutes from home so we would only go 1-2 times per week. I knew I should be working out more consistently than that so I began using Beachbody products to have daily workouts. There were so many to choose from and something was always coming out that I enjoyed...10 Minute Trainer, Hip Hop Abs, Brazil Butt Lift, Body Beast, T25, to 21 Day Fix. Each program proved to be challenging for me and allowed me to see results. The key to getting results was ME! I knew that I had to be consistent every day. I was tired of having a muffin top from my three c-sections. My daughter used to ask me why my stomach looked "that way"... the roll at the top of my scar. "Silly girl, it is because of you!" Well, enough was enough, I decided that I was going to work hard to get rid of my tummy. My results are below so you can see that our programs work if you work them...

Sweet Potato Latkes
Latkes are delicious. But most recipes call for white potatoes, lots of oil, and sour cream. We used sweet potatoes to create a healthier version of a traditional favorite that your family will love.
Total Time: 50 min.
Prep Time: 20 min.
Cooking Time: 30 min.
Yield: Makes 6 servings, 1 latke each
Ingredients:
1 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled, grated
¾ medium onion, grated, squeezing out as much liquid as possible
1 large egg, beaten
1 Tbsp. whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp. whole grain Japanese-style bread crumbs (like Panko)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
½ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
1 tsp. olive oil
6 tsp. reduced fat (2%) plain yogurt
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
3. Combine sweet potatoes, onion, egg, flour, bread crumbs, garlic, and salt in a medium bowl; mix well.
4. Using ¼-cup measuring cup, scoop mixture into rounds and form into patties. Place on prepared baking sheet.
5. Brush the tops evenly with oil; bake for 15 minutes. Flip latkes and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp.
6. Serve latkes topped evenly with yogurt.
Tip: Latkes can be made one day ahead. Follow steps 1 to 4. Cover baking sheet and store in the refrigerator for one day. Bake them right before serving.
