no alcohol....but why.

we went after sugar hard core last week and really uncovered quite a bit.  it was music to my ears when one of our participants said, "this week has been a really eye-opening experience...".  both clients i measured last night, btw, have decided to continue with the no sugar or light sugar into this week as they have really seen results and know they are coming out better for it.  both of them weighed in five lbs less than they were last week, and both lost % points off their body fat, so whatever it is girls you're doing....keep at it;)  congratulations!

so why no alcohol....not just because we find pizza appropriate after having just three cocktails, or that our inhibitions are lost enough that we could care less about losing tomorrow's workout too.  Alcohol alone is ...Calories that are as empty as sugar, and at 7 calories a gram, booze can really pack it on. Alcohol also dehydrates your body, which compromises muscle growth. Plus it slows your metabolism, so you burn fewer calories. In short, drinking gives you less muscle and more fat—you're just undoing everything you're trying to achieve with your workout.

good luck this week.  let me know if you have any questions.  

ps...a great recipe i made up the other day.  1-4 sweet potatoes.  1 serving 1, 4 serving 4.  cooked and mashed...i left the skins on, but you don't have to.  a quarter cup of milk per potato, i used coconut milk.  half an apple, per potato, diced thrown into a skillet with light olive oil, dash of vanilla, and cinnamon , cook till brown and soft.  toss into your potatoes and mix in.
