20 Years Younger Thursday

Special thanks to Teresa for bringing the awesome mini muffin pan and items to fix this awesome breakfast!!

Egg Substitute Quiche

Spray your mini muffin pan with non stick spray.

We took spinach and fresh mushrooms chopped medium fine.

Place the spinach and mushrooms in the bottom of the mini muffin pan.

Pour Egg substitute in each pan (for 24 muffins it took 1 1/2 cups)
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes depending on oven

12 Calories per quiche and <1 g of fat!!!  We decided these would be even better with Fat Free Cheddar Cheese, garlic powder and some minced onion or green onions.  Of course the calories would be increased but i think the taste would be enhanced.  Still a great idea to freeze these and have them for the weekend as a fast breakfast or even a snack.

Lunch was more Chicken Fajitas ~ I love these & never get tired of them.

A 15 minute walk to burn off more calories and a yogurt parfait for this afternoon!!

This time I used banana and strawberries along with Captain Crunch & 8 dark chocolate chip morsels.

Did you watch yesterday’s Oprah show?

Last night I worked out on the treadmill and watched Oprah.  This is actually one of the few episodes I've watched all season.  Bob Greene, the man who has been on her show 49 times, was her guest along with dermatologist Dr. Harold Lancer, sleep expert Dr. Ronald Kotlers, and nutritionist Diane McKay. Bob has penned a new book that discusses the lifestyle changes needed to look & feel 20 years younger.

I was excited to hear and see what all of the experts had to say ~ probably because I have a birthday coming up next week!!!!

Bob’s team said that in just two months you can lose weight, erase wrinkles and get energized. It will take up to two years; however, for the effect of feeling 20 years younger to truly be finalized.

Mr. Greene is an exercise physiologist and certified personal trainer specializing in fitness, metabolism, and weight loss. He has written countless books and is Oprah's personal trainer. She was his “best woman” at his wedding.

His program is built around four pillars: Exercise, nutrition, skin care and sleep. According to Bob, incorporating these pillars into your life can change your physiology, which will slow down aging and cause your body to function as if you were years younger. Bob says there is one nonnegotiable element of his program: exercise. "Make it like an appointment that you simply won't cancel," he said on the show today.

Bob Greene, and his challenge to look twenty years younger has been put in a book called Twenty Years Younger.

Twenty faithful Oprah viewers participated in Bob’s challenge to look and feel younger. The challenge lasted for two months and that is the committment to your journey of looking and feeling younger.

A few of the women took off 20+ pounds in just two months. A couple stopped their blood pressure medicine. One women’s cholesterol level went down by 100 points. Two women stopped smoking. Needless to say they had new clothes on, their hair was styled and they had the best make up artists working on their faces before the show. They all did look better. More importantly they said they felt better.

This was just the show I needed to see today.  I know it's Week 2 of our Meltdown but sometimes it's hard to see down the road 9 weeks from now.  Our Meltdown results are going to be just as amazing or better than the twenty viewers who took the Bob Greene Challenge and I must have needed a good reminder to stay on course and most of all stay consistent with my exercise, eating healthy, and getting 8 hours of sleep each night!!

Please be sure to make a comment and put in our post!!!  We love to hear all of your goals, excitement, and tips!!
Have a blessed Thursday ~ Stephanie
