Freakn Cool Nutrition Facts:
If, like most of us, you crave something sweet at the end of
a meal, try going to the bathroom, instead of the kitchen...
to brush your teeth. After the minty freshness that toothpaste
provides, chances are you'll be less likely to snack on
something sugary.
An easy way to boost metabolism and cleanse the body is
to prepare a hot water and lemon drink first thing in the
morning. Add the juice from 1/2 lemon to 1 cup of warm
water and drink upon rising.
In particular, oats have a calming effect on the nervous
system and should be included in the daily diet, especially at
breakfast. Other beneficial foods are almonds, bananas,
pumpkin seeds and foods high in omega 3 fatty acids, such
as salmon, tuna, mackarel and trout.
Nutrition can be a powerful weapon against stress: building up
the immune system, preventing blood-sugar fluctuations and
digestive complaints that occur with chronic anxiety. Decrease
caffeine, excess sugar and refined carbohydrates. Increase
consumption of water, whole grains and fresh fruits and
vegetables.

Did you know that you helped me win a trip to New Zealand?
I recently entered a contest called "Make More Freaks". It was open to 60,000 fitness
instructors around the globe. The premise of the contest was to create more "gym
freaks" and get people in your gym excited and addicted to working out.
Because you are such a freak, you helped me win! Check this out.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for making my workouts so fun and for helping
to win this amazing prize! This trip has really motivated me to try to get in the best shape
possible. I strapped on my bodybugg and started tracking exactly how many calories I
burn compared to how many I eat. So far, I've lost 5 pounds (and counting!). If you are
interested in getting a really good deal on a bodybugg, email me and I'll hook you up!

class for your chance to win a prize! Check out all the cool prizes you could win.
Mike (my hubbie) and I applied for our passports last week. We had to expedite the process to be sure that we'd get them in time. After a signing a few papers (and dropping 350 bucks!) we are now anxiously awaiting our documents to get us through to New Zealand.
Funny thing happened. The passport office does not mess around with deadlines. Their hours of service are from 8am-4pm. They had a digital clock on the wall and when it turned 3:59:48pm, they snagged the sign in sheet from the counter so that no one could sign in. Too bad for the people who showed up at 4:00:14.....no dice. Ouch. Good thing for you, we let you come to bodyjam class whenever you get there. So what if you're late. We're just glad you showed up!
