The Worlds Best Breakfast !

You know how they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  It sets the tone for the rest of the day...Make a poor choice or no choice and  you will pay for it in effects on your blood sugar, energy, and mental focus.   Make the right choice and you have started your day full of energy, satiated til lunch, and able to accomplish whatever is on your list.  This is my favorite breakfast !   Cinch ! It comes in 4 different flavors - Vanilla, Chocolate, Cafe Latte or Strawberry.  It even comes in a Cinch Whey Protein version.  Then you can also mix it up for an infinite number of choices.  This morning I had Chocolate Cinch, 8 oz. of soy milk, 4 ice cubes and a teaspoon of instant coffee.   I had it ready to drink right after yoga class (it is a proven after work out drink...helps you maintain lean muscle mass. )  Thanks to Ashley for sharing these additional Chocolate Cinch Shake Recipes.

Hiking Anyone?

One of our favorite things to do with our children when they were young was to pack a lunch, tailgate, and go for a hike. It was an inexpensive way to spend a fun day together. Even though my children are older now we still like to hike when we are together. Lately, it has been my husband and I doing the hiking and picnicing.

Recently we hiked with friends and it brought back memories of when my children were little. Our son always had a lot of energy to burn and would run ahead. We used to give him a land mark that he could go ahead to -where we could still see him. He would run ahead to the designated spot, turn around and run back to us, then forward again. It seemed he always traveled 2 to 3 times as far as we did with all his back and forth.

While hiking this weekend I heard a young family use a different tactic with their energetic one. The mom would call out traffic light signals. Red light - stop where you are. Yellow light - slow up. Green light -hike. The child didn't feel they were stifled - it was all a game.

What clever ideas have you used with your children?
