Many of you have already started setting your goals for the New Year and I'm so excited to see what you will accomplish in 2015! A healthy body,mind, and spirit can seem like an impossible goal to strive for, but you CAN DO IT and I would love to help!
The first step is eating healthy, which is why I love to start off my year eating lots of fruits and vegetables. A fresh salad will give you the nutrients you need, energizing you to start the year off strong!
January Jump Start Salad
Ingredients:
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 oz goat cheese
- ¼ cup walnuts or sliced almonds
- 1 bartlet pear, ripe
- ¼ cup pomegranate seeds or craisins
- ½ cup raspberries
- ½ avocado (sliced and sprinkled with lemon juice)
- ⅓ c olive oil
- ⅓ c balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- pepper
Instructions: In a jar with an airtight lid, shake the second set of ingredients. Toss with greens & other ingredients & top with cheese last. Try toasting walnuts/almonds to bring out a rich flavor! Adding grilled or baked chicken would a great added source of protein!
Exercise is the other main component of a healthy lifestyle, which is why I'm offering new January Jump Start Packages to help you reach your fitness and nutrition goals. Email me at transfitathens@gmail.com with questions.
And last but certainly not least, remember to come in for weigh-ins if you competed in the Holiday Extravaganza! The last day to weigh-in is this Friday the 9th! Get your $$ back, and see where you stack up against the others for cool prize packages.
Start 2015 off strong and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish!
