Leave a Comment

Prep: 20 min Cook: 15 min Total: 35 min

Ingredients

  • ¾ lb peeled and deveined, large shrimp (see Note) 
  • 1 (12-oz) pkg nitrate-free andouille sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces 
  • ½ lb okra, trimmed 
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes 
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted 
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning 
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder 
  • ¼ tsp lemon-pepper seasoning 
  • 1 (12-oz) pkg cauliflower florets 
  • ½ onion, chopped 
  • 1 clove garlic, minced 
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning 
  • ½ tsp salt 
  • ¼ tsp pepper 
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil 
  • ½ cup organic chicken broth 
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste

Instructions 

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread shrimp, sausage, okra, and tomatoes alternately onto 4 (10-inch) metal skewers. Combine oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and lemon-pepper; brush over skewers. Grill, covered, 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and okra is tender. Note: We suggest buying wild-caught shrimp. If you use frozen shrimp, be sure to check the label or verify with your fishmonger that it’s chemical-free or individually quick-frozen (IQF). 

Pulse cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice. Cook onion, garlic, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper in hot oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat 4 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in broth, cauliflower, and tomato paste; cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes or until cauliflower is tender.

14,000 Fitness Professionals

Leave a Comment

This past weekend I had the pleasure to be surrounded by 14,000 fitness professionals at the IDEA World Conference! I had the opportunity to speak to them on how to build their fitness business or take their fitness business to the next level.

Which was awesome!

As I walked around the expo and through the halls with multiple sessions, I felt this buzz, this energy.

The desire to become better was present, one of the main focuses of the event was continuing education. These Fit Pros were hungry!

I stepped back and felt this sense of peace. These people get me and I get them.

Our mission was to better ourselves so we could help others.

I have been in this industry for almost 15 years now and fitness/wellness is only continuing to grow.

I sat down with several attendees one on one to better understand where they were currently and where they wanted to go.

Listening to each person describe their passion and the stamp they wanted to leave on this world was heartwarming. But a common theme was we get in our own way. We make it too complicated. We don’t have the systems and tools to be successful on our own.

I related it to how we help our clients. 

Most of our clients need accountability, we need focus and a simple system to follow.

When we stay in our own box and over complicate things, we don’t see results.

Some of the most eye-opening moments can happen when you present your problem to someone else and they can look from a bird’s eye view and offer a simple solution.

The Ahh Ha moment is fun.

Having a coach, a mentor or leader in your life is essential. 

Doing the small steps each day add up to months and years of success. Its no different if you are in business/career or a health and wellness goal.

Stepping back and unpacking the story with a coach can open up a world of opportunities.

If you are ready to sit down and unpack your desired goals let me know.

I would love to help!

I had a friend of mine, who owns a gym in Texas, post on his Facebook page the follow:

—

VERY hard to get fat on a diet of..

Steak

Chicken breasts

Blueberries

Apples

Oatmeal

Green beans

Tuna fish

Eggs

Broccoli

You can try and you’ll just get leaner

—

It made me smile and do a head nod.

I looked at this list and it all sounds like wonderful food, food most of us would enjoy and can easily access.

So why don’t we?

We tend to over complicate things with the how. How am I going to cook it, how am I going to get it in the house, how am I going to have time?

When I want to challenge you to think of the why.

Why should I eat from this list? Think for a minute or two why you would want to eat this food. Your answers might come back because I know I should. Or because they are healthy. I want to challenge you to think deeper on the why.

Your answers might be because I want to see a desired number on the scale, I want clothes to fit better, I want to have more energy.

Then let’s take this one step further. If I had more energy, why is that important to me? I can do the things I want, play with the kids, go on fun vacations.

When the why becomes strong enough the how becomes easier.

Not saying this is magic and overnight success, but we have to really decide if you want to see change. If the pain of staying in your current situation is bad enough you will make changes.

If you are comfortable you won’t.

Nutrition is hands down the hardest part, but we help our clients unfold habits, emotions, etc. and make true change.

When it clicks, it’s a great feeling.

Fuel your body well and you can expect great things!

You Get to Write the Meaning

Leave a Comment

We all get our fair share of, lets just call it, “Fun” in our life.

That “fun” does not depict who you are.

Let me explain…

We are all going through different things. Some things we can reasonably navigate and with others the plot only thickens.

One of the most empowering stances is to understand that no matter what life throws at you, you get set to decide the meaning or how you react.

When we have health and wellness goals, we will constantly be thrown challenges. Some are easier than others to navigate, but you get to choose how you react and overcome.

As we have all the fun summer parties and yummy dishes, cakes, drinks, etc. You can throw hands up in the air and say, well there goes my diet today.

Or you can be empowered and say, I know we are going to XYZ today therefore here is how I will navigate the situation.

I am no different than anyone else and I have been fighting the scale.

I decided I am going to win this battle and it is taking a little more focus than I would like. “Fun” right?

Throw on top of that a few other unnecessary stress and boom, the plot thickens.

Not for long…

When you decide the meaning of things and how you are going to react, its amazing how empowering it can be. You own your thoughts, just like you own what goes in your mouth.

We had two fun parties this weekend and I knew there would be yummy cake. I love cake! Who doesn’t? But I know what it is taking for me to see the results I want. I got up that morning and came to our Saturday Cardio class and then decided at party #1 I would split a cupcake with Leo. It was perfect, just enough. Did I want the whole one, yes, but I knew that would be some 400+ calories.

Then party two came. I wasn’t going to have cake. I told myself, nope you had it at party 1. But it got the best of me. I went and cut a super small piece and it was just enough and I didn’t feel bad.

Guess what, I woke up Monday morning and did not have the 3-4 lb increase from over indulging on the weekend.

Take the empowered stance to control what you can and give the proper meaning.

If we always tell our self the same story, consider rewriting that story.

The pen is in your hand.
