Eating healthy doesn't have to be rocket science . . . in fact, chances are that you will eat healthier if you keep it simple. One of my favorite lunches and/or dinners is to make a pita pizza. I pick up pita bread from the grocery store (whole wheat if they have it), add sauce (either marinara or alfredo sauce) and then load it with vegetables. There are a million variations, but this Mushroom Spinach Alfredo combo is my favorite! Do you have a favorite healthy pizza recipe? I would love to have you share it in the comments below!

Looking for more great healthy recipes? Click here to be taken to T&T's Recipe Index! Totally crushed it with this recipe! It was one of those nights. I was late getting out of the clinic as everyone wanted to tell me about all their aches and pains in detail. My wife had been stuck in meetings all day that ended up taking a lot longer than she had anticipated. We ended up calling each other at the same time on the drive home from work and asking one another "what's for dinner?" (you've never been there before, right?!). As she was going to pick up our kiddos that left me in charge of the grub. As I walked aimlessly up and down the aisles of the grocery store seeking revelation, the heavens parted and the grocery gods smiled down on me . . . pork was way on sale! Alright . . . pork; so now just the question of what to do with it?! It was then that I remembered we had made up some of our Homemade BBQ Sauce the week before and still had just enough left over. Revelation received, and I headed over to the produce section. The result of that night was a phenomenal "Grilled BBQ Pork Salad", and you're the lucky beneficiary today! Check out the recipe and keep it in mind the next time you're faced with the question... "what's for dinner??" Continue Reading

The happy memories, the unhappy memories, the good times, and the bad. I believe that (unfortunately) this focus often becomes fixated on missed opportunities and things left undone. Speaking in terms of health and fitness – it's the workout that you missed; the extra dessert you ate; or five extra pounds you've recently gained. We become so obsessed with the past that we often neglect to do anything about our present. "Why bother" and "I've already tried" are words that start to permeate our vocabulary. We become disillusioned, frustrated, and ultimately hopeless. So what do we do? How do we overcome this attitude, keep progressing forward, and ultimately achieve our fitness goals? I've got the answer below... Continue Reading
