YOU ARE THE KEY TO TOMORROW'S SUCCESS

Think of SUCCESS not only your workouts and healthy eating habits, but in every area of your life...

Success requires PERSISTENCE. "Success in life is not so much a matter of talent or opportunity, as it is of concentration and perseverance." C.W. Wendte

Success requires TENACITY. "The secret of success is constancy to purpose." Disraeli

Success requires HUMILITY. "The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well without a thought of fame." Longfellow

Success requires PURPOSE. "You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration." James Allen

Success requires ABILITY. "Responsibilities gravitate to the person who can shoulder them; power flows to the individual who knows how." Elbert Hubbard

Success requires DILIGENCE. "Success comes to those who hustle while they wait." Thomas Edison

Success requires VISION WITH A PLAN. Success in the world, any kind of success, is like a universal college degree. It can only be earned by following a certain course of action for a definite period of time. It is impossible for success, real success, to be easy. You must first see it, then set a course to achieve it." Earl Nightingale

Success requires INITIATIVE. "Before sitting down to wait for your ship to come in, be sure you have sent one out."

HEALTHY FOOD TIP

While this may sound like a silly, simple question I wanted to know: What are healthy foods and why do people eat them?

To us, healthy foods are those that are nutrient-rich. This means that they contain an abundance of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients (nutrients only found in plants, many of which are antioxidants) and fiber. Nutrients are important because your body needs them to grow, create energy, and maintain its physiological functions. Nutrients can also help to reduce inflammation and antioxidant nutrients protect your body from free radical damage, which can cause disease. Healthy foods include whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, fish, beans, and other whole foods. Whole foods are real foods, the form in which the food is grown or raised. Whole foods are not processed with additional chemicals, preservatives, and additives.

People eat healthy foods for many reasons. The main one is because when they eat them they feel better-they have more energy, more vitality, they might catch colds less, their skin may look better, they experience better heart health, etc. and they experience many other benefits to their health. Many people who eat healthy whole foods do so because they feel that what they are eating is real food and feel that foods that are processed and manufactured are not really food as they envision food to be.

Many people who eat healthy foods do so because it helps them to feel connected with the earth. Plus, they taste great. When people don't eat healthy foods, they may not have as much energy. Studies have shown that healthy foods can help improve memory and learning. Research shows that those who eat healthy foods have less disease and therefore those who don't eat healthy foods run the risk of having diseases such as heart disease and some forms of cancer.

QUICK & HEALTHY SPAGHETTI

Here is a Transitions recipe that's easy for any of you "on-the-go" Folk! (This was actually on of my go-to recipes during pregnancy with LOTS of garlic, onion, spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers,  etc... Also, I like using the Arrabbiata sauce - it usually, but not always, is made without sugar. -Kristin) 

Ingredients:

1 box Dreamfields spaghetti

1 jar organic spaghetti sauce (look for those with no sugar in ingredients)

1 lb ground turkey

Directions:

Bring water to a boil and cook spaghetti according to directions.  While spaghetti is boiling, brown turkey meat in skillet on med-high heat until cooked thoroughly. Once turkey is browned, turn heat down to simmer and slowly add jar of spaghetti sauce.  Pour meat sauce over noodles and enjoy!  

To get a healthy dose of vegetables for you and your kiddos, add fresh spinach leaves to meat sauce before serving. Spinach will slightly wilt once stirred in so kids don't even have to know it's in there.  Or simply serve the spaghetti with a spinach salad!  

WHY IS DRINKING WATER SO IMPORTANT?

PREVENTS DEHYDRATION - WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WATER IN YOUR BODY, MINERALS BECOME IMBALANCED AND CELL FUNCTIONS BECOME IMPAIRED. DEHYDRATION CAN LEAD TO HEADACHES, FATIGUE, DIZZINESS, MENTAL CONFUSION, INCREASED HEART RATE AND BREATHING, DRY MOUTH AND CONSTIPATION. 

Enhances Calorie Burn - Researchers found that drinking half a liter, of water increased the subjects' metabolic rate. 

Moves Fiber Along - Many diets include foods that are high in fiber, which need water to move properly through the digestive tract. Fiber, or roughage, includes all parts of plant foods that your body cannot digest. This roughage passes through your digestive system, effectively helping the body to get rid of wastes and toxins. 

Flushes Toxins - Every day, your liver and kidneys process different compounds that can be harmful to your body. The kidneys pass these out through urine, some compounds pass through stool and others are excreted through sweat. If the kidneys are not provided enough water, some of their detoxifying functions will be passed on to the liver. When the liver is overworked, it cannot metabolize fats as efficiently. Those fats can then be stored in your body.

Supports Exercise - Water carries nutrients to your cells and makes up a large part of your blood. Red blood cells are responsible for bringing oxygen to the cells of your body, a process that speeds up when you are exercising. You will also be excreting water through sweat, making it essential to replace the lost fluids by drinking more water. If you are dehydrated, it can cause your heart rate and breathing to increase in an attempt by your body to get nutrients and oxygen to your cells.  -LIVESTRONG
