Jana and Ron spent the weekend in Las Vegas, hanging out (and working out) with Kettlebell Master Steve Cotter. After a long, hard 3 days, Ron received his IKFF Certification, and Jana lost $60 at the roulette table…. Both were learning experiences. Photos of the Kettlebell Cert and Steve and his team here….

While outdoor cookouts are a great opportunity to relax and visit with friends and family did you know that the average barbecue meal exceeds 1500 calories? That’s almost an entire day’s worth of calories in one meal.
That can really added unwanted inches to your waist line over the course of the summer.
The good news is that barbecue season doesn’t have to be fattening. In fact, with a few small changes to your barbecue menu you can turn summer into the perfect opportunity for weight loss.
So before you slather on the sun screen and fire up your grill, read the following tips to lighten up this summer.
On the Grill: Believe it or not, grilling is actually a very healthy way to cook meat. Of course the type of meat that you choose will make all of the difference. Burgers and hot dogs are traditional barbecue meats, though they aren’t the healthiest. Try the following:
Side Dishes: This is where most people run into trouble. Barbecue side dishes are typically filled with one thing - fat. Creamy coleslaw and potato salads can hold as much as 15 grams of fat per serving. Try the following:
Drinks: Most people don’t realize that beverages play a big role in summer weight gain. Margaritas, beer, soda pop and punch all contain tons of empty calories. Try the following:
Dessert: Yes, there are ways to satisfy your sweet tooth while staying healthy. Think outside of the box instead of turning to the typical fattening options like ice cream, pie, cake or cookies. Try the following:
Remember, it’s ok to splurge every once in a while. Enjoy yourself. Just keep in mind that by taking a few of the above suggestions you can enjoy great food while getting back into great shape.

Nonsense! There is no such thing. Don’t fall for the latest diet pill craze. Have you ever noticed that every weight loss pill specifically states that it works when combined with proper diet and exercise? Well, they are right-proper diet and exercise will cause you to lose weight-without the bogus pill.
Ron and Jana just got back from a amazing weekend in San Diego where we both got our Level 1 Certification for Crossfit. What this means? More knowledge, more ideas, and more ways to make your workouts more effective than ever!
