This recipe is for all the moms with picky kiddos out there!
I just made these for Dave Monday night and he LOVED them! I even found out something new about my husband.
He told me how when he was a kid he would always get super excited about the school lunch menus because he loved chicken nuggets so he would go through and highlight all the days on the menu with chicken nuggets.
He even paid extra for seconds on the days chicken nuggets were being served. It turns out they are still one of his favorites and this recipe for a healthier version of chicken nuggets gets his stamp of approval!
We ate them with a nice big salad and it was delicious, but you could also do steamed veggies or baked sweet potato fries as a side.
Talk about pulling a 180 when it comes to turning your life around! Jacquie did just that. The first time we met she was walking with a cane and probably only giving us a try as a last ditch effort. She certainly didn't expect the results she has gotten.
From a cane walking, cigarette smoking, next to nothing fitness level, Jacquie is now a snowshoe fanatic, has done numerous 5K's and 10K's, and nearly summited her first 14er this past summer.
Jacquie has completely changed her fitness outlook and now knows that she is capable of much bigger and better things!
Keep it up Jacquie! Welcome to the Fit Soldiers Finest!
One thing successful people understand is that just as the weight and lack of fitness didn't come over night, the same is true for reclaiming a strong and lean body.
Danielle is always pressing on. She is consistent with her workouts, nutrition, and living a fit and healthy lifestyle. She seeks out new adventures including the Tour DaVita a 265 mile bike ride!
Amazing work Danielle! Welcome to the Fit Soldier Finest!
Katie and I just whipped this one up last night. It's one of our go-to recipes for a simple meal and quick and easy clean up. It just takes time to bake the sweet potato if you're going the conventional route. You can also throw them in the microwave if you prefer!
If you told yourself that 2012 would be the year you stop making excuses then I've got a great way for you to get started!

How many of us are excited for Monday. Probably not too many as our culture has us hating them like the plague. Yeah OK we just came of the weekend of relaxation but how are you going to approach today?
Your day is is as good or as bad as you want to make it. If you want to take on the day like its a crappy day...guess what, your going to have a crappy day.
How about you change that crappy mindset and take on today like its the best thing to happen since sliced bread? If you take on the day with a positive mindset, with a winning attitude then guess what. You win.
You will accomplish more today than everybody else that's stuck in their own self created rut and actually enjoy it.
So get your head out of the ditch, forget about the "case of the Monday's" and take accountability for your attitude and have an AWESOME day!

A little self control will go a long way day-to-day and especially on the the big holidays and parties.

This past week in our MYM class we talked at length about plateaus. We dug deep in to the reasons they come along and different solutions for them. Though they can seem deflating when your expecting continued results and suddenly you've come to a screeching halt.
Well I want you to think of that as a WIN. Yes a plateau as a win in your column. Yes your body has adapted to what ever your throwing at it but, nutrition and exercise, think of it like this. Your body is telling you "I am ready for the next stage" - "I have conquered this routine" - "Give me something new!!"
This recipe is for all the moms with picky kiddos out there!
