This week at Fit & Lean - July 23rd to July 27th

 This week Larry gave all of us Fit & Leaner's really cute little blue cap sleeve Logo T-Shirts!!!  They're almost too cute to wear into to the gym to get all sweaty in!!!  Thanks a lot Larry!!!!  You're the Best!!!!  We all appreciate it!!!

 The "Pinch" - BioSignature Measurements were not taken this week as our body fat is tested biweekly.

 The Workouts - Feel The Burn!!!!

 Hey, SST acquired two new Calf Machines and Raul & Andy put us right to work on them!  Working in pairs this week, we alternated between each exercise (A1,A2) for 2 sets before moving on to the next group.  We find that we really "Feel the Burn" and are sweating the "be jiggers" off when working out this way!!!…And guys, I felt the calves for the rest of the week!!!  (It's a good thing!  We love the new equipment!!!)

 My Diet Tip - "Don't Get Too Nutty"

 Yes, they are delicious, healthy, crunchy little snacks that are allowed on our Fit & Lean menu plans.  However, you should keep an eye on the amount of nuts you consume in a day.  Depending on the type of nut, ¼ cup serving packs approximately 200 calories with 14 to 19 grams of fat!   You can easily blow out your daily caloric/fat intake by dipping into the nut bowl a few too many times.  Four mindless handfuls can add a whopping 1000 extra calories and up to 76 grams of fat to your daily load!!!!  I found that by sometimes omitting or limiting my nut servings to no more than ¼ cup per day really helped my numbers come down on the scales and Body Fat Testing! 

 P.S. Try to consume your nuts with your breakfast meal only!
