GYM ANXIETY: WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO GET OVER IT!

We’ve all been there before – you pump yourself up pre-workout, saying that you’re going to give it 110% today. As you make your way across the gym floor, that confident feeling fades fast when you realize that the only open treadmill is wedged between two runners who are going freakishly fast – like cheetahs in a full sprint – and nearly every strength machine is taken by sweaty people you’d rather avoid. Feelings of insecurity are sinking in. Hello, gym anxiety: that self-conscious, confidence-vanishing feeling one experiences when faced with an intimidating, embarrassing, or potentially awkward situation at the gym. It often involves feelings of fear of being judged based on one’s fitness

Vegetti & Chicken Spinach Meatballs

Eating right doesn't have to be boring! I love playing around with recipes, especially traditional ones. I believe, to enjoy eating healthy, that you must have some fun with your food. I mean, as a mother of an 8yr old who LOVES veggies, I can pretty much experiment and try anything with her. The challenge though, is that she doesn’t eat red meat or fish (her choice). She’s more of a poultry person. Not that we eat a lot of red meat, but I do like to have a serving of lean red meat once a week. Since poultry is big in our house and we love spaghetti, here is my Vegetti and Chicken Spinach Meatballs recipe. My take on spaghetti and meatballs! 😊 Vegetti and Chicken Spinach Meatballs Ingredie

Yummy in My Tummy Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies

So, I’ve mastered the healthy chocolate chip cookie! Just in time for the holidays!! I mean who doesn’t love a good chocolate chip cookie? Warm with gooey morsels of chocolate chips!!! Paired with a tall glass of cold milk! Do I have your attention? Great!!!! While chocolate chip cookies are yummy and make all the problems of the moment seem silly, they can still add some inches to the waist when eaten in abundance. So as a rule, I always say, eat in moderation! With this recipe one medium sized cookie is about 63 calories. So, 2 at 126 calories is a tasty guilt free snack! I just swapped out some of the traditional high calorie and fat ingredients for natural/low fat ingredients and voila!
