So yes I do go to Trader Joe’s quite frequently but they have great products at such a great value, so I wanted to share one of my “recipes” I created with a couple of items I often buy there.
First get a bag of Just a handful of simple almonds cashews and cranberries Trek Mix. You can find these by the other nuts and dried fruit. The great part about these is they are individually portioned out already for you.
So take an individual bag and mix it with ¾ Cup of their Cabot No-Fat Cottage Cheese.
Add some Splenda or Stevia if you want it a bit sweeter and just a touch of cinnamon, and enjoy!
All of this for 315 calories, 13 g fat (the good kind!) and 22 g protein.
This could be a great post/pre workout snack!

So if I had to train with anyone one the biggest loser it would be Bob. He is an awesome trainer but tends to be more gentle in his demeanor than Jillian….or so we all thought.
This week Bob lost it on one of the contestants during an interval cardio workout. No one has ever seen him that angry. The contestant at the brunt of his outburst was Joelle. Joelle couldn’t seem to push herself past 20 seconds of running on the treadmill. Bob wanted 30 second intervals and Joelle kept stopping at 20. After his outburst and arguing with her, she finally made it to the 30 second mark. Which proved to her and Bob and all of us watching that she could indeed do it and could have done it all along.
What stopped Joelle from pushing was her mind and the “I can’t mentality” Our heads and negative thoughts often stop us from our true potential. The thing is that our bodies can do way more than we can even imagine we just have to keep pushing and keep our minds believing in our abilities. So keep pushing and trust yourself.
