Get Physique-a-licious

I have sort of been on a writers block, if you want to call it that.  I have been extremely busy teaching classes since the semester started.  Ever feel like things all of a sudden come out of nowhere and then you are left sprinting trying to catch up.  What the heck, I had all Christmas break to prepare, which I did a little.  Then I started the push-up challenge which now I have to start over.  I think I may drop down a column.  I have been doing well on it but not great.  I feel like the goals for the push-ups were rushing me a  little so, I backed off, then I totally stopped. 

I gain a few pounds over the holidays.  You didn’t?  The month of January I started a newsletter for my ladies at the studio in which I incorporated a healthy recipe. 

Do you really want your performance to improve?  Well, you have to eat-clean and eat the right foods.  You have to start learning and listening to your body.  Do you really know what works or are you just going through the same boring routine?  Time to really start listening to your body and feeding it with good stuff.

So, this post I decided to drop you a little Healthy Recipe that I get from a couple of places.

Here it is:

Grilled Citrus Chicken with Fresh Salsa

This Recipe Serves: 4

Preparation Time :  20 minutes

Cooking time :   20 minutes

IngredientsFor the chicken:
1 cup low-fat or non-fat plain yogurt
1/4 cup minced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 4 to 6 oz. each
For the salsa:
1 avocado
4 tomatoes, chopped
1 to 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped
8 warm wheat tortillas

Cooking Instructions
1. For the chicken: Mix all the ingredients except the chicken in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the mixture and coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

2. Preheat the grill or broiler.

3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. (This protects against cross-contamination.) Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.

4. Place the chicken on the grill or under the broiler and cook until the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side.

5. In the meantime, peel, core and chop the avocado. Place the avocado in a clean bowl and toss it with the lime juice quickly so that it doesn’t discolor. Add the tomatoes, onion and cilantro. Add the jalapeño peppers and salt to taste.

6. Serve the salsa on top of the chicken with the warm tortillas on the side.

So give it a try during the SuperBowl.  You won’t feel guilty.
