Greetings!
 
My mission is to make the world a healthier place. A few ways that I have set out in doing that are:
  1. Publishing Monthly Newsletters - hopefully you're learning something & able to change a few of your behaviors because of the information I've sent along.
  2. Encourage Social Support - I've created a forum where folks can go to seek social support from others who have like-minded goals. It's called bodybuggers & it's for everyone.
  3. Twitter - I've always been available via email, but Twitter perhaps gives better access. Also another form of social support which is HUGE when making lifestyle changes.
Please let me know if there are other resources that I can provide. I want to serve & support each & every one of you.

In Good Health,

roller derby poster Fitness Comes in Many Forms

I joined the Texas RollerGirls Recreational Roller Derby League! I don't know what the heck I was thinking. Actually, I know exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking that summer is approaching in Austin, and since I've been running, I enter summer a really strong runner (running 10 - 13 miles on my long runs) & by mid-June, I can barely run for 40 minutes without taking a walk break. So, summer is the time when I start thinking about cross training.

I am highly influenced by the power of suggestion, so when someone suggested that I sign up for Roller Derby, I did it. Aaack!

Baked Tortilla ChipsYummy Low Cal Tortilla Chips

About a year ago, I found Mission Extra-Thin Corn Tortillas. The nutritionals on these tortillas are great! Considering that most flour tortillas start at 140 Calories for one, and go up from there, and typically one regular corn tortilla will be around 80 Calories. With the Mission Extra-Thin Corn Tortillas, you get two 6" tortillas for just 80 Calories! That's fantastic! By dividing the chips into 6 wedges, each chip is ~7 Calories.

Ingredients:
  • 6 Mission Extra-Thin Corn Tortillas, cut in 6 wedges each
  • Cooking Spray
  • Coarse Salt
 Directions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Place parchment paper over cookie sheet. Spread tortillas evenly, so that they're not touching.
  2. Spray with Cooking Spray. Sprinkle with Salt.
  3. Bake in oven for 12 minutes. Remove when Golden, Brown & Delicious!
