Eat, Execise, Enjoy: July 24th-31st

Hi everyone!
 Summer is flying by! For those of you fortunate enough to have made it to the beach, now is the time to start thinking about getting back into, or starting a regular exercise and nutrition routine. Even if it means only 10 minutes of a series of push-ups, lunges, squats, you name it, you are still carving that time out for exercise and telling your brain and your body that it's a priority!
TIP OF THE WEEK: You must take care of yourself to be able to take care of others.
Do you put your goals and desires last, or can never seem to find the time? We always find the time for the things that matter most to us. Sit down and break down your day into units. Odds are that you are losing time on miscellaneous things that can wait until later without even realizing it. You are worth the effort!

Speaking of saving time, here is your recipe of the week, made in ten minutes or less, but will keep you satisfied for hours!


Blueberries with Lemon Cream

4 servings, 1/2 - 2/3 cup each

4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
3/4  fat-free Greek or plain yogurt
1 Tbsp. Jell-O sugar-free lemon instant pudding mix
2 cups fresh blueberries

1. Using a fork, break up cream cheese in a medium bowl. Drain off any liquid from the yogurt; add yogurt to the bowl along with the Jello-O mix. Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, beat on high speed until light and creamy.
2. Divide the cream until 4 dishes. Layer the lemon cream with 1/2 cup of blueberries.
