I’ve been reading alot about nitric oxide and th I’ve been reading alot about nitric oxide and the benefits to the body. Turns out beets are a good source of nitrates which the body turns into nitric oxide. This reminded me of my years growing up and my mom making cold beet soup, which in Lithuanian is called Šaltibarščiai. So I decided I’d try my hand at this. It’s a refreshing cold soup and a part of traditional Lithuanian cuisine made up of pickled, boiled, or raw shredded beets, buttermilk, grated cucumbers, and hard boiled eggs, and lots of dill. I omitted the hard-boiled eggs, and added salt, pepper and some fresh garlic. I garnished it with a dollop of sour cream and some fresh mint. It was delicious and brought back so many memories of my childhood. It’s always amazing to me how our parents, grandparents, and ancestors made these traditional dishes that have such great benefits to us using real foods and time-honored methods. After eating this and knowing the benefits, I have an even greater appreciation for the traditions and foods of my heritage… and it feels like a warm hug from my parents. 🥰🇱🇹

My client this morning before our workout: “I wo My client this morning before our workout: “I wore my ruck vest this morning while getting ready for my day today.” Music to my ears - can’t stop, won’t stop! This is a great example of being creative and finding ways to get a little extra exercise/movement/challenge in each day. It’s the little things (that really aren’t so little) that add up to big results when done regularly and consistently. There is great power in that! I’m blessed to work with people who find ways to keep at it, keep going, and keep growing! Keep it fresh, bring your best!! #rucking #fitover50 #fitover50women #fitover60 #fitover60women #personaltrainer #healthcoach #wellnesscoach

The birds are at full song this morning! 🤣Week The birds are at full song this morning! 🤣Week 2, here we go! Here’s what to focus on in week 2: 1. Get a portion of your steps in outdoors! Even if it’s just 10 minutes, get outside for your steps at least once a day 2. If you’ve been able to meet your step goal most days of week 1, either increase your step goal a bit, and/or add some weight to a portion of your steps. This is called rucking and you can simply add some weight to a backpack. Start small, like 5-10lbs and adjust as desired. You choose which option and how much challenge you’re going to add. 3. If you’ve struggled to meet your step goal for most of week 1, then just keep focusing on meeting your goal this week, but do still do a portion of your steps outside! Keep updating us on your journey - we want to hear how you’re doing and encourage you along the way! Plus, hearing from you helps motivate us to keep going, too! #walkingchallenge #exercisechallenge #personaltrainer #healthcoach #personaltrainer #fitover60 #fitover50 #onlinecoach #onlinetrainer #outdoors #longevity #mindset

Step into Spring Participants - Week 1 is almost d Step into Spring Participants - Week 1 is almost done! A few things to keep in mind: This challenge is YOUR challenge. The purpose is for you to feel better at the end of the four weeks than you did at the start. That means setting a realistic goal each week. For example, if you typically get 5,000 steps a day, a realistic first week goal would be to shoot for 5,500 - 6,000 steps, not 8,000. Setting and achieving bite-sized goals on a consistent basis is more sustainable than setting a massive goal that you only achieve on two out of the seven days. More wins will keep you excited to keep progressing. At the start of each of the remaining three weeks, we’ll encourage you to up your game a bit, but not necessarily by adding more steps. Though you can certainly do that if you’re easily achieving your daily goals! Also, if you haven’t really jumped into the challenge, start today! Anyone can join or re-join the challenge at any time. This is YOUR journey. The only person truly holding you accountable is you. Commit to your happiness, commit to your health! #walkingchallenge #exercisechallenge #personaltrainer #healthcoach #personaltrainer #fitover60 #fitover50 #onlinecoach #onlinetrainer #outdoors #longevity #mindset
