TF TIMES

Promoting Positive Energy Everyday!


GREETINGS!

I hope you are having a fantastic summer. With kids out of school, the weather absolutely beautiful, and extended daylight in the evenings, summer is always a great time.

Excellence. Greatness. Passion. What are you pursuing each and everyday of your life? Maybe your purpose is:

  • To be a great parent by offering your children the gift of your time
  • To give back to your community through charitable activities
  • To do well in school, in sports, or the game of life
  • To develop a product to revolutionize your industry
  • To inspire greatness everyday in clients, co-workers, family, and friends
  • To create IMPACT physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for the people whose lives you touch
I believe it's important to be dedicated to a meaningful purpose in life, and to live it everyday. But experience has taught me that a life purpose isn't so clear to everyone. Some of you might be confused about exactly what you want to do. Or, maybe your work doesn't align with your interests. Maybe you feel like you haven't had the right opportunities yet. Or, maybe you haven't created the right opportunities for yourself...yet. Whatever your purpose is or will be in life, I know you are meant to search for it. And once you find it... embrace it and live it to the max!

Each of us was created with unique gifts, but it isn't always immediately obvious what our gifts are. That's why we call life a journey... a journey to discover the truth about our gifts and ourselves. Once we find them, we're meant to share them with others. And that's a life purpose worth our dedication. So get out there, discover your gifts and use them everyday to IMPACT those around you. When you do, you truly will LIVE A LIFE WORTH TELLING A STORY ABOUT.

Happy Training!

Expansion Update!
studio

THE KEYS HAVE BEEN TURNED OVER and construction plans are in the works!


For those of you that are fairly new with Team Fit, I want to first say welcome aboard! It is a delight and privilege that you are here with us and I hope our programs and trainers are exactly what you were looking for. Where motivation, accountability and results are all what members expect and what TF delivers!

I have talked quite a bit in the last few month about investment vs. expense. I recently told you my definition of investment:

Any product, program {expansion}, or service that will ultimately enhance the quality of your physical and mental energy, and the quality of your thinking. One that directly relates to an overall improvement in your well-being.

Last month, it was with great pleasure that expansion contracts were executed at our Chesterfield location. This added 1,500 square foot expansion "investment" will begin on or about August 1st of this year and will continue through September 14th. This investment will make way for added room in programs, a variety of program offerings, a new foyer and an ample storage area. It is truly a honor that we even had this opportunity to make happen at this time ~ we have only been at this Chesterfield "home base" since January 2011. WTF Team Fit!
With a busy summer upon us, I just want to assure you that the current Summer session will not be interrupted or affected. I will keep you informed step by step throughout the renovation stages and as we plan our "Re-Grand Opening Gathering" next month.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving individuals.

Women's Self-Defense Saturdays

selfdenseJoin us every fourth Saturday Sept.-Nov. from 2:00-4:00pm @ Team Fit, Chesterfield to learn practical techniques for defending in real-life situations. While these are not martial arts courses, the methods are based on martial arts techniques.

Instructors practice self-defense techniques and construct circumstances during class for students to practice the learned techniques. Clients are also encouraged to discuss situations and circumstances that they are concerned about so that instructors may broaden the scope of learning. You will walk away having a better understanding of how to safely defend yourself against a larger, stronger person. Our goal is to replace feelings of helplessness with the knowledge of leverage. You will leave each course with more and more confidence and information to protect yourself with environmental, behavioral, verbal, physical and mental abuse.

More information to come next month regarding this extraordinary and life survival program.

Cooking with the Pros
EASY POACHED EGGS & PASTA DINNER
eggspinachpasta
Yes, I have to admit, this recipe is a little "different", but it is so good and a takes literally 15 minutes to prepare.
The still-runny egg yolk adds a creaminess to the sauce and perfectly mixes with the spinach.


INGREDIENTS
2 servings (1 1/3 c) whole wheat pasta (any shape)
1 c organic/homemade marinara sauce (If you want to spruce up the jarred sauce, add a 1/2 t oregano and a pinch of red pepper flakes.)
2 eggs (or can use Egg-Beaters/All-Whites)
4 c fresh spinach (I sometimes swap fresh or frozen broccoli, asparagus or sliced zucchini)

DIRECTIONS
Place a pot of water on the stove to boil. Measure out your pasta and set aside.

Pour the sauce into a small skillet and turn heat to medium-low. When sauce starts to bubble, carefully crack eggs onto the top. Cover and cook until eggs have reached the desired doneness (you want the yolks to be runny; some carryover cooking will occur).

Meanwhile add the spinach to the pasta just before you drain it. Stir and drain well.

Divide pasta and spinach between two bowls. Top with one egg and half the sauce. If I have it on hand, I add a dollop (1/2 ounce) of goat cheese or a sprinkle of Parmesan.

Makes 2 servings
