Build Your Own Class!!

Hi everyone!

In addition to my regular schedule posted...We have also started a new program at MSTC called "Build Your Own Class" Essentially you can come in with a group of friends whether it be a tennis group, running club or just a group of friends that would like to work out privately. We can design a training program based upon your goals as individuals as well as a group.

Personally, I love working out in small groups. This is one of the main reasons why I transitioned from a large gym to a smaller boutique gym. At MSTC our goal is to have our clients feel like family....exercise should be fun & social!

In addition to personalized attention, we also believe that it shouldn't cost a fortune to work out in a private facility. We will continue to provide excellent service at a reasonable cost!

If you would like more information you can contact me via the blog, email or cell 781-576-9317.

Have a Fantastic day!!

Happy New year Rockstars!!

Hi Ladies!!

Happy New year to all of you! I love the New Year because it is a time of new beginnings and an opportunity to evaluate how far we have come and just how far we can go in the future.

This year I have decided that I am not going to make a specific resolution...I am going to continue what I am doing, only better. What does this mean to you? Challenges...in terms of fitness and diet. I am committed to relaying the most cutting edge information I can to all of you regarding specific fitness routines and healthy eating.

This past year has been so exciting with the birth of our beach workouts and the new classes I have added at MSTC. I look forward to continuing my relationships with all of you. I appreciate your support and I am committed to making this year one that you will all benefit from.

I feel so grateful to be able to do what I love! Thanks for all of your support and for being the Rockstars that you are!

Happy, Happy New Year!

Have you tried this Veggie Burger?

This is a new favorite of mine... Morning Star Tomato Basil Pizza Burger. I had it with sliced tomato and some warmed spinach, Low fat mozzarella cheese and a tiny bit of Ken's Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing(microwave for 1 minute). Put the burger and veggies on a piece of Joseph's low carb flat bread....delicious!

Thanks to Heather for the balsamic vinaigrette dressing suggestion!!!

Amazing Pizza Find?

I am not sure if you ladies have heard of or tried this pizza but I say we give it a taste test. I believe the only place they sell it locally is at Shaw's. They may have it at Whole Foods ( Or Whole Paycheck as we like to call it :). It looks like a terrific way to enjoy pizza without the major guilt!

A.C. LaRocco Ultra Thin Crust Pizzas - If you love crunchy and delicious pizza without lots of calories from doughy crust, you must find these immediately! They come in Bruschetta Style, Old World Veggie, and Garlic Chicken Parmesan. A 1/2-pizza serving of either of the first two contains 170 calories, 7 - 8g fat, 17 - 19g carbs, 3g fiber, and 11g protein (POINTS® value 3*). The chicken one has 230 calories, 8g fat, 24g carbs, 4g fiber, and 17g protein (POINTS® value 4*) per 1/2-pizza serving. Click here to see where they're sold near you -- they'll be chillin' in the natural food freezer.

Sweet Treats

I don't know about you but I have a major sweet tooth. I have tried to give up sweets but then I figure why deprive ourselves of things that we enjoy? Isn't that why we spend so much time working out and taking care of ourselves?

I have figured out that for me, portion control is the most important factor when it comes to sweets. If something is in a one portion container, the likely hood of me opening another is very slim. So here are a few of my favorites, some are already portioned out..some are not!

• Jello Sugar free Rice Pudding : This is new and is so good, I think I love it so much because my grandmother used to make a grapenut custard that it reminds me of.


• Jello Sugar free Dark Chocolate Pudding : So much better than the traditional chocolate pudding by Jello. The only drawback is that it can be tough to find.
  
• Crustless Pumpkin Pie: This is a great recipe that I have already posted but it is amazing and very satisfying.
  
• Dove Miniatures: These are the real thing. Ice Cream covered by dark chocolate. They are decadent and they are already portioned out and wrapped so just in case you happen to have another....at least you know how many calories you have consumed!
  
• Edy's Slow Churned Ice Cream in Egg Nog & Peppermint stick: Just another reason to love the holidays...out for a limited time so get it while you can!!


• Real Whipped Cream: A little goes a long way and makes everything taste better. It has very little carbs and only 15 Calories for 2 Tablespoons...just watch your portions!!!
