Welcome to “Prime
Physique Magazine Online!”
Well today marks the start of the last boot camps of 2008...AND the start of December! Can you believe it? The year is almost over! So I guess that means that it is time for 2009.
I've been thinking a lot lately about fitness and programs to improve every one's fitness...OK, I always do that...but I wanted to share a bit about why this is important to me.
One thing that I have seen (and proven) time and time again is that it is very easy to drop the fitness regime to the wayside. Heck, I took a couple days off for Thanksgiving...gained 5 pounds! But I knew that I had to get back on track, so I got up the next day and worked out! (I would have done it the day after turkey day, but had to play golf;-)
So what I am shooting for here is getting into a grove and consistency in your exercise program and diet. Guess what people? We don't have a choice. We NEED to exercise and we NEED to watch the diet. We NEED to do this consistently. Get it?!?!? This is not something that we can drop for a few months and then start up again. We NEED to keep going, even when we do not want to do it.
So with this information in mind, I always try to keep myself going on diet and exercise. I always try to keep you on the same path. This is why I am always thinking about programs for you! You see, I know that many of you will workout on a regular program with or without me...BUT MANY need the extra help that I provide in my fitness programs. My goal is to help you out however YOU need it. Thus I am trying to provide a number of programs to suit all your needs.
You know that I have been a strong proponent of Russian Kettlebell Training. In 2009 I am launching an indoor boot camp program based in Russian Kettlebell Training. Danielle will be running this program nice and early in the morning! I am already running my Americas Boot Camp Program at 6:30 AM, and it is based in kettlebells. I also plan to launch a number of kettlebell programs at different times of the day and weekends! In fact, I am going to commit to a program right now! (That was not my plan when I started typing;-)
SO here you go:
- What: Russian Kettlebell Class
- When: Saturday December 6th at 9:00 AM - 1 hour
- Where: Prime Physique
- How: $25 Per Person
- Size: LIMITED to the FIRST 10 Registrants!

OK, that was not in the plan, but now you have an option to learn Kettlebells!
So what else is available to you now?
Want to keep the budget tighter? BUT still want personal training? OK...Done! Online Personal Training, by yours truly, is now available! I will set up a program for you, and keep it moving! No more excuses. Email me for details.

Last special to mention for today...and it is probably the most important! Saved the best for last! Join our Super Shape Spectacular (S.S.S) Program for 2009. This special program is limited to the FIRST 20 campers to register by December 31st...What is it?

OK, I think that about covers it...sorry if I was long winded this time, but I obviously had a lot to say...and truthfully, I am still not done! I'll wait to tell you more as this month progresses.
I would like to thank you all for reading all this stuff, and for your support. Also thank you for providing your feedback on my recent surveys! I will probably send out more soon! Your feedback really helps a lot!

Comfort Food...Your Two-Sided Friend
With one holiday under your loosened belt, you're gearing up for many more celebrations...and piles of seasonal comfort food. If you don't mind, I'd like to be totally candid with you today.
Sure, I could write you a 'feel good' article about cutting back a few calories and exercising a few minutes each day, but I'd rather be perfectly frank (and truly helpful).
Here's the real deal: You abuse food.
That's right. You're overweight because you eat too much, and you eat too much because it brings immediate pleasure.
I am here to point out that this pleasure comes at high price...
The other side of comfort food: You've heard dishes being referred to as 'comfort food'—some restaurants even have an entire section of their menu designated as comfort food. But comfort food is more than just a hearty dish.
- It's those extra calories that you eat to feed an emotional need rather than a nutritional need.
- It's excessively big portions that leave you stuffed.
- It's high calorie snacks.
- It's sugary treats.
- It's fried, cheese smothered appetizers.
- It's whatever you indulge in with mindless munching.
Could you relate to any of the above? Most of us tend to gravitate toward a particular form of comfort food. For many women it's chocolate or other sugary treats. For men it often takes a saltier form.
Think of the last time you ate for pleasure rather than nourishment. Why'd you do it?
Out of Habit: Your body loves routine. If you always snack while watching television then you'd probably find it hard to relax without going through that munching motion. The good news is that once you break the cycle your body will quickly adapt to a healthier routine.
To Change Your Mood: Does the thought of a cupcake bring a smile to your lips? How about a large pizza to lift your mood? Pay attention to the emotions that trigger you to overeat—you may be surprised how often you use food to feel better.
Because Everyone's Doing It: Who can resist comfort food when it's offered among friends? Peer pressure doesn't just apply to teenagers—it's another reason to overeat. Remember that true friends will support your decision to refrain.
Can you remember how you felt after you last filled up on comfort food? If you're honest, you'll admit that the stuffed and bloated feeling was downright awful. So why do it?
Come on, where have your eating habits gotten you?
- Into clothes that are a few sizes larger.
- Drained and with less energy than ever before.
- Plagued with health concerns and prescriptions.
- Embarrassed and frustrated with your body.
Most people don't realize it, but the battle to overcome your eating habits is decided by a single body part—and it's not your mouth. (Your mouth is simply a puppet.)
It's your brain. Once you've made up your mind, for better or for worse, you can bet that your body will obey your decision to the letter. You've proven it time and time again.
So make the decision to give up your unhealthy dependence on comfort food.
There is no better time than now.
Making a change is hard—that's why I'm committed to being with you every step of the way. Call today to schedule a consultation.
You can end the abuse, once and for all.
Perfectly You
No, you are not perfect. None of us are! But you are perfectly YOU-unique with your own qualities and traits. Learn to embrace and love your own unique style rather than obsessing over the things that aren't perfect.
Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins
Don't let the rich flavor and mouthwatering moistness of these muffins fool you. You'll have a hard time convincing anyone, but this recipe was modified to include less fat and sugar than the original. This is a great treat to share at holiday parties.
Servings: 40 mini muffins
Here's what you need...
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup natural honey
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 7 oz pear baby food (or applesauce)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a mini muffin pan with paper baking cups, or use non-stick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl combine eggs and honey. Add pumpkin, melted butter, pear baby food, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl combine all of the dry ingredients. Gradually add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture and mix until well combined. Stir in the zucchini.
- Pour into muffin tins, sprinkle the tops with chopped walnuts. Bake for 10-20 minutes or until you can poke a toothpick in a muffin and it comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Nutritional Analysis: One mini muffin equals: 92 calories, 3g fat, 15g carbohydrate, 1.5g fiber, and 2g protein.
