Fitness, healthy eating go hand-in-hand
There’s more to a balanced lifestyle than just working out. I’m no expert, but I feel like I’ve learned a bit from the Wellness Center over the past few weeks.
Therefore, along with talking about a fitness class, I’m going to start incorporating healthy recipes into the mix of discussion each week.
I’m starting to believe food is to exercise as peanut butter is to jelly.
Now, I hate jelly but I love peanut butter. When they are put together though, they create a nostalgic combination of flavors that takes you back to brown, paper bag lunches in elementary school.
Just like this analogy, I find myself favoring food over exercise. But the more I incorporated those together this past week, the better I felt.
To keep track of nutrition, I’ve downloaded MyFitnessPal on my phone. I’ve learned from a couple of my Strike! exercise classes at the fitness center that one way to eat healthier is to eat a lot of protein and lower the amount of starchy foods and opt for whole grains.
My first class I incorporated into this new plan was Yoga Inc.
If you want to feel re-energized, relaxed and refreshed, go to this class.
This is a perfect class to stretch out your body while surrounded by a comfortable atmosphere.

I highly recommend this class and it has inspired me to try more yoga related classes.
After getting relaxed at Yoga Inc., it’s time for some food that feels light but satisfying.
For this column, I decided to share an easy egg-salad recipe. The best part of this recipe is that I used romaine lettuce as a surface for the egg-salad.
That makes for a much lighter meal, plus this makes multiple servings. I also made some butternut squash fries, but that is a recipe for a different day.
Low-carb egg-salad lettuce wraps
- Romaine lettuce
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 2 tbsp. green onions chopped (I used red, but would suggest green)
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/2 tsp garlic pepper
- salt and pepper to taste
Boil the eggs for 10-12 minutes, let them cool and peel the shell. Cut the eggs (they will naturally crumble) put in a bowl with rest of the ingredients. Scoop into large piece of Romaine lettuce and enjoy.
