Time for YOU: Week Seven



Week Seven Goals:
Exercise: High Intensity Intervals - use in our workouts to get better results
Nutrition: Cravings - HALT
Knowledge: Chapter 9 in Dr. A's Companion Guide
Emotional: Become as a little child -  You know the phrase, "There's a child in us all", there really is.  It's also helpful in submitting ourselves to change and teaching to know we still have lots to learn, just like a child.  - HUMILITY
Home: Start Laundry
Spiritual: Time for Worship


Recipe for the Week:
Spinach Smoothie:
2 cups spinach leaves
1 quarter lime (peeled if you don't have a vitamix)
1/4 to 1/2 c. 100% juice (apple, grape, orange) - will change the flavor based on taste
1 small banana
a piece of fresh pineapple or 1/4 c. canned pineapple in natural juices
a dash of cream, milk, or a 1/2 scoop of protein powder
1- 1 1/2 c. ice cubes
Blend until well mixed. Serve right away.  This has a very fresh taste and is so refreshing on an nice afternoon.
