Healthy Over Easy Eggs

So I will now share with you one of my favorite healthy morning recipes!!! I usually eat these eggs with some sliced fruit on the side, like berries or peaches, and two Applegate Farms Chicken Sausages.



Healthy Over Easy Eggs
4 Fresh Eggs
Cooking Spray

Heat a large skillet over a low to medium flame; eggs burn quickly so be careful with heat. Spray pan with cooking spray; crack an egg and allow only the white to fall out of the egg directly on the heated pan. Lift the handle about an inch so that the eggs pool in the far corner of the pan. Hold for 30 seconds or until the whites start to set, then lower the handle and give the pan a jiggle just to make sure there's no sticking. Repeat with two more eggs. Take the last egg, crack over the pan and allow the whole egg to drop in the pan, including the yolk- be careful not to break the yolk. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to cook over low heat until the whites become opaque. Jiggle to loosen the eggs, then flip the eggs over by pushing the pan away and snapping upward simultaneously. with either a spatula or by tossing them over in the pan. Once the eggs start their somersault, raise the pan to meet them so that the exposed yolks experience the softest landing possible. The goal of course is to avoid breaking the yolk. If you succeed, count to 10 slowly then slide them onto a plate and serve. If the yolks do break, act like you meant them to, fry for another minute and serve. They'll still taste great. I like to cut my eggs up- and share the one yolk over the three extra whites!!! Serve with Chicken Sausage and fruit and PRESTO! Healthy, clean great way to start the day. Whole project start to finish should take less than 10 minutes to prepare- less than your daily bowl of oatmeal!!!





On June 21, I took a kayaking trip with fellow boot campers and friends! Here is a Pic!!! Remember- fitness does not mean GYM!!!! Enjoy life- don't be afraid to live outside the box!!! Give something new a try! You will love it!!!!!

Adventure Races, Virtual Boot Camps and More!!!

Hello!!!

As many of you may know, on June 14, I ran the NYC high Trek Adventure Race with other boot campers- as Team Adventure Boot Camp / Becky's Fitness Company. We placed # 51 out of 75 teams!! It was a blast!!! Unfortunately our lack of knowledge of Manhattan geography made us run a few extra miles- but it was worth it!! Collectlvely as a team- we raised over $3300 to go straight to the NY Special Olympics!!! The race was a great success! Fun, Fit and giving back to the community! That is what it is all about in my book!!! Please contact me about my next charitable event I will participate in if you want to join my team!!!

Here is a picture of me- in front of Washington Mutual- doing a handstand- to complete one of the many crazy tasks we had to face during the race! Don't be fooled! I had a blast!!!






So it is official!!! The Virtual Boot Camp is now available for anyone interested in the boot camp experience- but that cannot make it to camp each day!

Commitment, Consistency and Control

Greetings!!! Happy Summer! While the OFFICIAL start of summer is not here yet- it sure feels like summer out there! 97 degrees in June! Yikes!

I want to take this opportunity- to chat- about three very important factors in ANY fitness plan- that MUST be present in order for you to be successful. Especially- if you are following the guidelines of fitness and wellness as set forth by myself, and my fitness company, BACK TO BASICS. Without these three elements, success will be short lived.

COMMITMENT: In order to be successful at anything in this world- you must be COMMITTED. You must make a decision on a given day that you are going to change your life, decide how you are going to change your life, understand why you want to embark on this change and go ahead and be committed to the change.

In order to remain committed- on occasion, without reason or rationale- you will have to make decisions- to stay on your life path. This means you will occasionally endure sacrifice that others who are not embarking on your life plan or change will not understand. You must be steadfast in your commitment- and reaffirm the reasons for your commitment. Let others know about your commitment and command respect for yourself by respecting your self and remaining committed. Others will follow and respect your decisions as well once you respect yourself. With out respecting your self and your commitment- others will not have respect for you or your attempts to change your life.

Know and understand that your COMMITMENT to a healthy lifestyle- is 80% MENTAL. While you are changing your body, becoming more fit, exercising, changing the food you eat- KNOW these are all MENTAL changes- as your MIND CONTROLS your BODY. Without MENTAL strength and COMMITMENT- your life change will not last.

In making your commitment- I want you to think of others that are committed to something in their life......use them as an example, as a role model- and know that one day you will be a role model for others. If they can do it- YOU CAN DO IT.

CONSISTENCY: After you have made your commitment to your new life change- the next element that naturally follows is CONSISTENCY. You must be consistent with the changes you make in your life. You MUST BE CONSISTENT with your healthy lifestyle to see and feel improvement. Without CONSISTENCY - you are failing in your COMMITMENT. This means you must follow a healthy lifestyle for a long period of time- even if you are frustrated, tired, cranky whatever. Forge ahead, push on, you will feel better for it soon thereafter.

CONTROL: Finally- know this- without CONTROL you will not be successful in your life change. When I refer to CONTROL - I am talking about CONTROL to ensure you eat good fresh foods, lean proteins, fresh fruits, fresh veggies, and whole grains. When I talk about CONTROL I am talking about the ability to say NO. I am talking about the need to CONTROL the forces in your life to ensure you have time to sleep, rest, exercise and enjoy the basic human rights of eating, resting and exercising. Take CONTROL of yourself, your life and you will be well on your way to a new you!!!
