As a special offer over the summer you can come with two friends to my studio and enjoy a small group experience with an opportunity to try out the Pilates reformer - at the special price of £45 (£15 each for a group of 3). 

The beauty of a small group is you get the level of care of a 1:1 session at a fraction of the cost - this is a special offer only available to you, contact me via email or phone to arrange your session.

In my last newsletter I promised to give you some ideas about breakfast. Well, here goes...

Think about what the word suggests:

• break - put an end to something
• fast - not eating.

So this is how you should treat breakfast - it's a very important meal.  

Mostly people want something fast and easy in the morning, which is why cereals or toast are the popular choice. However, cereals, even the so called healthy ones are full of sugar, and the starchiness in bread, plus whatever you add to it such as jam or marmalade with all the sugar will give your body a sugar high yippee... rapidly followed by a sugar dip uh oh... which will leave you wanting a mid morning snack and a craving for yet more sugar. 

So you could put an end to this cycle right now by deciding to change the way you think about breakfast. Think of starting your day with more of a lunch style breakfast here are some of my favourites:

• scrambled eggs and mushrooms
• spinach and mushroom/courgette omelette
• turkey rashers and poached eggs on a bed of spinach
• boiled eggs with asparagus fingers.

And here is a recipe for Gordon Ramsey's North African Eggs - to add a bit of spice to the first meal of the day:

Ingredients 

• onion - chopped 
• 1 red pepper and 1 green pepper - deseeded and finely chopped
• 1 red chilli - deseeded and chopped
• 2 garlic cloves - crushed
• 1 tsp of cumin seeds
• 5 large ripe tomatoes roughly chopped
• sea salt and pepper to taste
• 4 eggs.

Method

Heat oil in a pan (I use coconut oil). Throw in the onion and cook until softened, then add peppers, garlic and chilli and cook for 5 minutes. 

Add cumin and fry for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and cook until the mixture gives a thick sauce consistency and season to taste. 

Make 4 wells in the mix and place an egg in each well. Cover the pan and cook gently until egg whites are set - longer if you prefer a firmer egg. 

You could also add spinach and pancetta to this recipe.  Start making breakfast the best meal of the day.

My Thought For The Week

    It's never too late... 

                ...so never give up :) 

Stay happy, healthy and keep moving freely
