FROM THE NUTRITIONIST Paula Hendricks, BS, Nutritionist-C

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle

If only we had to eat well once in a while and could still lose weight and be healthy. We would all excel if that were possible but it is not. However, we do know that setting goals, applying them to your daily life, thinking positively, and never giving up works you have to commit, repeatedly. This week is a perfect time to revisit your goals for the year and reassess them. June 30^th is the end of the first half of this year and July 1^st we begin the second half. Do you need to restart or recommit to your New Years resolutions and goals? If you have reached a goal or a still working on one, commend yourself and continue forward, repeatedly, day in and day out. Daily commitment can produce excellence and the only way to instill new habits into your life until they become second nature. Dont fret if you have strayed or stumbled; get up, dust yourself off, and get back on the right track. Its always a good time to recommit and continue learning and growing never give up. As always, we are here to help you achieve excellence. Protein Recipe Mocha Peanut Butter Shake: In a blender, mix 8 oz. of cold water, a mocha protein powder drink, and 1-2 teaspoons of Natural-style peanut butter. Blend. Add 6 ice cubes, blend again. Delicious. Recipe of the Month Grilled Chicken Salad with Grapes and Apples: This is a delicious cool summer salad that you can take to a picnic, serve up poolside, or enjoy on a warm summer night. I usually grill the chicken the night before, let cool, and refrigerate for assembly the next day. I cook the chicken either outside on a grill or indoors using a cast iron skillet. For those of you on the VLCD, omit the fruit and replace with chopped celery, cucumber, tomatoes, or sweet red onions.

Did You Know Early Summer 2010 - Not All Recipes that state they are healthy and high in protein are true! - Pick up a copy of this eye-opening recipe that I received from an online health/exercise source. The recipe states it is a healthy, high protein treat. Healthy? Mostly. High protein? No. There are twice as many carbohydrates than protein per serving. Always read labels.
