Feedback from recent clients:
Gretta, 35, mom and graduate student

"I lost 10 pounds, lost an inch around my waist, thigh, and calf. I have more energy and feel great about my food choices now. I liked having a plan on what I was going to eat for the

day. That kept me from making poor eating choices. The plan was very easy to follow. I really enjoyed the Sara B Principles and recipes. They helped me stay on track. I was surprised to see the results I did!"

Jeff, 39, avid cyclist, completion through Cleanse Phase
I made serious gains in upper body definition, I feel the Catalyst played a huge role in it.

I Lost 8-10 lbs and energy level was real good. Able to work night shift with no caffine.

The schedule wasn’t to tough and Sara was always offering encouragement and advice. Every few days she would send a recipe with an encouraging in an email. This was a positive experience that can be attributed to both the Challenge guidelines and Sara’s input and positive attitude."

The 10 Best Greens for You

Since everything seems to be red and green these days....today I thought I would highlight

The 10 Best Greens for You
From: The South Beach Diet
Research shows that eating dark greens may help maintain good health
by reducing your risk of heart disease, some cancers, and several
other illnesses. They're also rich in beta-carotene, folate, and
vitamins C, E, and K, which help protect against free radicals
(unstable oxygen molecules that can damage cells). Eating dark
greens regularly may also lower blood pressure and cholesterol,
promote normal eyesight, and improve gastrointestinal function.

Include these 10 nutritional powerhouses in your diet:
Beet greens
Bok choy

Brussels sprouts
Collard greens

Kale (check out my kale chip recipe)

Mustard greens
Romaine and red-leaf lettuce
Spinach
Swiss chard

Turnip greens
How Much Is Enough?
The most recent dietary guidelines published by the US Department of
Health and Human Services recommend consuming at least 3 cups of
dark-green vegetables per week, but if you're like most Americans,
you don't get enough.

The good news: All vegetables contribute to a healthy eating plan. So
eat a wide variety — both green and otherwise — throughout the week,
and you'll take a big step toward providing your body with the nutrients
it needs.

Until next time...eat your greens &

Riviera Maya - Playa del Carmen

Arriving at your destination is great, but traveling there can be quite the drag...

many people battle getting sick, hungry, and stressed while traveling

to help combat this I come well prepared with healthy food that not only helps me stay bug-free while vacationing but also saves me money as I don't have to purchase sub-par airport food

food list:

homemade turkey jerky

Kind, Cliff and Odwalla bars

dried fruit

almonds

chocolate bites for my sweet tooth

protein powder

and.....

my breakfast pack:

steal cut oats, raisins, honey, protein, PB, multi-vitamin

don't get me wrong though....I love checking out the local fare...

La Buena Vida was right on the beach in Akumal

you could even eat and drink in these sketchy, but cool treehouses

we opted for the "ground-level" table

lots of ceviche

and guac!

fish tacos are a fan favorite

our first night in Playa at a very authentic eatery. It was literally right on the sidewalk

we could not figure out what this was, turns out it is a giant hanging thing of meat...kinda looks like a bee hive

We did do other things besides enjoy cervezas (well not me) and guacamole....

here are some of the highlights

Jeremy and I and Kelli and Mike

Playn' and relaxn' by the pool

J tried his hand at these giant water balls

it gave us a good laugh

work it boys

We headed to Cozumel for a day trip

and rented scooters to make our way around the island

does this remind anyone else of "Dumb & Dumber"

the scooters allowed us to see some less populated and beautiful places

however, about 15 minutes till we got back to town Mike's scooter gave a startling pop and died....

notice Mike pushing his scooter as J joyfully rides away

waiting & waiting for a ride

maybe if I flash my baby bump that will speed things along

maybe we should have gone with one of these

trying on some of the local attire

Catamaran ride and snorkeling

we stopped at a beach for burgers and got to play on all these fun water toys!

the Cozumel Ironman just happened to be the previous weekend...J was in heaven. We even ran into people we knew from Des Moines!

J spent the entire afternoon building his beach front property

where's the nursery?

Tulum beach with Mayan ruins in background

Dive shop, pool....where else would you need to go!?

Akumal beach

Sunrise on our last morning

Hey....let go!

do we look like movie stars!?

now we're back in 10 degree weather and snow...at least it feels like Christmas!

Until next time...

look good, feel good, be good
