WEEKLY CHALLENGE: "CLOSE" the Kitchen!

WEEKLY CHALLENGE: "CLOSE" the Kitchen!

 

Weekly Challenge 2013 #18: Close the Kitchen!  
Late night snacking can sneak up on you when you don't even see it coming. That last bite of something left on the kitchen counter, a few cookies during the evening news, a cup of hot chocolate... Because you are slowing down for the day, late night calories don't get burned off.

2013 Weekly Challenge #15: Stretch!

Taking care of your body is an essential part of any exercise program. And yet it is one of the things we are most likely to skip. Everyone knows they should stretch before and/or after exercise, and that it is a good habit to have just as a part of daily living. But really...how often do YOU do it?

Stretching keeps you flexible, prepares your muscles for exercise and helps your body heal after a tough workout. Besides being good for you, it has the extra benefit of feeling GOOD (usually).

Quick Meals with Ready-to-Go Grains

Quick Meals with Ready-to-Go Grains

I have a tendency to cook as though I run a boarding house for college athletes. Huge pots of brown rice, an extra pan (or two) of quinoa, enough oatmeal for a classroom. I do this so I have ready-to-go grains on hand for quick lunch salads, easy baked dinners and the simplest breakfast reheats. Engine 2’s four new frozen grain blends promise to give refrigerator shelves and stockpots everywhere a break with already cooked (and spiced!) blends that heat up in a flash. Whew!

Here’s how we like to use them.

What drew you to MBC? Where were you emotionally, physically, spiritually? 
I joined MBC 2 years ago shortly after having my daughter. I knew needed an outlet to not only get back in shape, but to feel good about myself again. MBC gave me that and more! I met the most amazing and inspiring women while learning how to live a healthier and happier lifestyle. That same year I trained for my first triathlon and accomplished my first 5k. Two things I never would have imagined before.
