Happy Mother's Day!

Great News!!! This month- May- I was featured in New Living Magazine/Newspaper!!! Pick up a copy to see my new Boot Camp Move of the Month Article!!! I plan on starting a video posting of a boot camp move of the month on the Adventure Boot Camp Blog starting June 1!! I will keep you all posted!

So as you all know - on April 12, 2008, I participated in the New England Natural Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Championships in Seekonk, MA. I placed 5th against a group of serious competitors! Wow! While I was not overly enthusiastic with my placing- it did give me inspiration to push on- and motivation to do better at my next show! NEVER GIVE UP! That is my motto!!! Here are some pics from the contest!! I hope you enjoy them!

Coming up in June- I will be participating in the High Trek Adventure Race in NYC to raise awareness and money for the New York Special Olympics!!! Please visit my fund raising page at www.firstgiving.com/adventurebootcamp I am also considering racing in the Dirty Events Sprint Adventure Race in Long Island! I will keep you posted with results and pics!!!

So now for the recipe of the week!!! For all my sweet tooth women out there.......my saving grace is homemade applesauce and homemade cranberry sauce!!! I put them on EVERYTHING!!! I use the cranberry sauce for my roasted chicken, snacks, yogurt, dessert, sandwiches, wraps etc. It makes a great dressing too!!!

Cranberry Sauce:

16oz Raw cranberries - washed
1 cup water
1/2 cup splenda / sugar mix

Bring water to slow boil, add sugar splenda mix and cranberries and simmer for 10 minutes or until cranberries soften and begin to pop in covered saucepan. Crush with a fork, cool and serve. Store in covered container in the fridge o r freeze. Be careful not let them sauce boil over pan when simmering- as the sauce tends to rise while simmering.

Dirty Apple Sauce: Again I use this for dinner side, yogurt or oatmeal garnish snack dessert etc.

6-8 Apples of varying types - Cored and diced
1 tablespoon cinnamin
2 packets splenda

Core and dice apples and place in baking dish. Put cinnamin and splenda on top of apple mixture. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until apples soften. Stir with a fork and crush soft apples pieces. Cool and serve. Store in covered container in fridge or freeze.
