Salads the New Junk Food?
May 14, 2010 by Deb · Leave a Comment
This information was submitted by Cheryl Freauff one of CrossTrain’s personal trainers. She sheds some light on how eating a salad doesn’t always mean you are eating healthy!!
Here’s what she says:
While at subway I carefully selected a 6″ grilled chicken on whole wheat with extra pickles and spicy mustard. Yummy!! The woman in front of me was doing what so many of us do. She selected a salad and proceeded to pile on what she thought were good choices. Her mistake was not the peppers and variety of veggies, but the hunk of tuna loaded with mayonnaise and “seafood” which by the way is imitation and loaded with sodium and sugars. To top it all off she asked for what turned out to be her biggest mistake……. ranch dressing and an extra packet to boot.
If you go to subways website, you will see that the sub I select offered just 325 calories (however the extra sodium from the pickles were not good), her salad had a whopping 1150 calories. Not to mention all the sodium and added fats.
Don’t get me wrong I LOVE salads and eat at least one a day, but what we put on those salads can make it a health food or junk food. Mayonnaise based dressing can be particularly fattening and unhealthy. Using balsamic vinegars and herbs are far better options. If you must use a mayonnaise based dressing then making your own is rather quick and easy using reduced fat mayonnaise.
In the end knowing what goes into your salads will help you make the best decision.
Thanks Cheryl for this great info!

Minimize the Bleeding
May 6, 2010 by Deb · Leave a Comment
In conversation with one of my business partners Luke Carlson I was sharing how my week had been pretty tough because of being in the hospital all week with my daughter Kali. I said that I found myself falling back into some old habits of turning to food instead of God for comfort.
His response was this:
Minimize our mistakes needs to be a tip of the day…….. We know mistakes are going to happen, but when they do we need to keep the bleeding to a minimal amount. This was one thing we always talked about in sports. When you are on top of the mountain things go well and the weight comes off or we play well, but it’s not the mountain top that keeps us on track it is how we do in the valley. This is where the adults are separated from the children physically, mentally and spiritually. The thing we need to remember is that the Holy Spirit will get us through when we turn to God instead of food for our comfort.
Then when he does help get us through or when we are on top of the mountain we must remember to praise God through our actions of being diligent and using self control.
Luke’s words reminded me that we all will have the good days and we all will have bad days….that is life. It’s how we react to those days both good and bad that truly matter! Remember to praise God today for mountains and the valleys!
Have a Blessed day,
Deb
