We are moving!
Big News…We are moving!
Although we have been very thankful and happy having Test Sports Clubs as our home, we believe
it is in OutdoorFit’s best interest to change the location of our program, with the
exception of the 6 AM, to Fair Haven Fields on Ridge Rd. as of January 30th.
In addition to the Fields being an ideal central location, the move will also allow us
to lower our prices which is always well received.
The 6 AM will continue to be at Test Sports Clubs and will be in great hands with
Keith, Adam and Dan.
Join us over at Fair Haven Fields beginning on January 30th @ 9:00.
The Best,
Mary and Christa

Are you feeling a bit bloated…sugar overload?
Did you enjoy your Holidays… yummy cookies, cocktails, delicious dinners with wine? Are you ready to get back on track?
Do you find yourself unable to control your eating, especially when it comes to
sugar and refined carbohydrates?
Are you ready to let go of the bloated, puffy feeling that seems to
accompany you everywhere you go?
When the clock strikes 3:00pm do you find yourself in an afternoon haze,
unable to focus, get the energy to do anything, and wishing you could either
take a nap or stuff your face with sugar and caffeine (which you often
actually do?)
After dinner do you continue to open the refrigerator and pantry doors,
never feeling satisfied and continuing to eat until your head hits the
pillow at night?
If you answered YES to one or more of the questions above, We can help you.
“Weight loss is entirely possible any time you make a resolution to lose
weight. Keeping your blood sugar stable and avoiding deprivation are absolutely
essential to success. There are many, many ways to do this. But as a physician,
I’ve rarely seen a program as easy and effective as RESET.” – Dr. Christiane
Northrup
Make a resolution that sticks.
So many people make a decision to make a change at the beginning of the year.
Yet so many of us find ourselves going back to our old ways within a week or
two. This year we are going to help you make a resolution that sticks.
RESET is a clinically-proven, 5-day high-fiber cleanse that actually RESETs
your
metabolism and ELIMINATES your sugar/carb cravings as you:
* detox
* boost your mood
* increase your energy level
* balance your hormones
* improve your sleep
* increase clarity
* and release fat!
Doctors and health-care practitioners worldwide such
as women’s health pioneer, Christiane Northrup, M.D. and nutritional
medicine expert, Ray Strand, M.D, recommend RESET.
Release unwanted weight.
People who do the RESET program loose between 5 and 10 pounds during the
5-day, high-fiber cleanse. It’s a great way to lose excess
weight gained during the holidays or kick-start a larger weight loss goal. We
will hold your hand through implementing healthy lifestyle habits that result
in weight loss.
Get rid of your carb and sugar cravings.
RESET retrains your body using the principles of low-glycemic eating so that
you no longer crave sugar and refined carbohydrates.

Studies show that when it comes to losing weight and creating lasting change in
our habits and lifestyle, partnering with even one other person increases your
chances of success dramatically. We are putting together a team of people who

year’s resolution a lifetime resolution.
Keep it simple. Keep it easy.
RESET doesn’t require juicing, fasting, intricate food preparation, starving
yourself, being in the gym for hours at a time, or paying thousands of dollars.
It’s 5-days of low-glycemic meal and snack replacements, lots of water, and
fruits and vegetables. It comes in a box with everything you need to release
weight and eliminate your cravings successfully (just add water, fruits, and
vegetables.) It’s so simple you can’t screw it up. We promise.

We are very blessed to have been born in this country and it is a great way for us to give back and detox at the same time.

5 Day Reset with 2 weeks of OutdoorFit $199.00… A great jumpstart for 2012~
Charity Workout!
What a perfect morning at Fair Haven Fields! This morning was a charity workout for One World Women’s Health and we raised over $600.00 from the workout! Thank you OutdoorFitters for your support and everyone else that came. Thank you Fair Haven for your beautiful fields!
For those of you who couldn’t make it and would like to contribute.
Please send a check made out to
Charity Workout on December 17th!
While I was at the dog park with my friend Jean Lee I met a woman named Nina Seigelstein and her dog Otis. Nina is an Obstetrician/Gynecologist and she also happens to be the doctor who delivered Jean’s children by way of cesarean section. She explained that if Jean Lee had lived in Sierra Leone, Africa, she would not have been able to have had a cesarean section as there is a complete lack of obstetrical care. Both Jean and her daughter would very well have died. I think of my son Thomas who was born with so many birth defects and how blessed we are to live in this country. He wouldn’t have survived in Sierra Leone Africa. I feel very honored to have met Nina and OutdoorFit is happy to support her foundation.
Nina is working to prevent these sorts of needless deaths from childbirth by building a Maternity Ward in Sierra Leone. She has started a foundation called One World Women’s Health which is committed to improving women’s health care in Sierra Leone. In January 2012, she is once again traveling there with a medical team to perform gyn surgery and to educate the Sierra Leonean community about the importance of utilizing the Maternity Ward in order to save women’s and children’s lives. Nina needs all the help she can get to make her hopes a reality and we at OutdoorFit would like to contribute.
We are holding a Charity workout on Saturday, December 17th at Fair Haven Fields @ 9AM. The Fair Haven Department of Recreation is donating the use of the Fields free of charge and Christa and I are donating our time to instruct. The normal drop in rate of $20 will apply and ALL proceeds will go toward the cause of One World Women’s Health. Come Saturday and we will have a great workout as always and your money will go to a great cause helping women.
First OutdoorFit workout? Please download the registration form and bring it with you along with a check to OutdoorFit.
Thanks!
We love our OutdoorFit family!

Tis’ the Sugar Season…
I am doing it differently this year. There has been so many years where I ended with a yeast infection in January because of all the sugar I ate in December. There are delicious healthy ways to avoid all of the sugar. This weekend Tom and I made hot Cocoa with almond milk, stevia, and unsweetened cocoa. It was perfectly delicious and guilt free.
Hot Cocoa!!!
Do a cookie search on the blog and you will find some great recipes for low-glycemic cookies that won’t spike your blood sugar.
Here is the recipe for our OutdoorFit Energy Cookie. I am going to try them again this year but I am going to reduce the amount of honey and use stevia instead.
Please send healthy treat recipes and I will post them on the blog!
It is so important to stay on good supplements all year-long but especially during the winter months. Antioxidants protects against inflammation from all of those chocolate chip cookies.
Here’s to a Healthy Holiday Season!

“Get through the kid-vitamin gauntlet”
This post is from my friend Maddy Vertenten. Check out her wonderful website, vibrantone.com. I know some of our OutdoorFitters have a hard time getting their kids to take vitamins so I wanted to pass this along. My son, Tom takes his vitamins everyday twice a day and tells me that it is Vitamin Time!
Get through the kid-vitamin gauntlet
Vibrant One
Vibrant Health Note ♪
Yes Virginia, you can convince your kids to take their vitamins. Here’s how:
- Don’t give up too fast. It took me two weeks of consistent focus with my then 2 and 7 year-olds for these tricks to work.
- Bribe them. Not with presents, but dessert perhaps, or a favorite story, or extra time awake before bed. Little bribes – not the same ones every night or they’ll take advantage of you.
- Take your vitamins, visibly.
- Tell them why it’s so important. Talk about the toxins in our environment and the diminishing nutritional value in food. Tell them that their cells need fuel. Kids really dig health, and with just a little effort you can totally get them on the bandwagon. Which is a huge plus, by the way – because they will keep you there too!
- Sticker charts work for everything.
- Appreciation is rare and priceless – praise them as they gulp and shudder, no matter how long the cajoling took.
Seriously, 2 weeks is all it took with my kids – and now they love spinach, kale, even the occasional cup of green juice. And they know which vitamins are theirs, get them ready every morning and night, and are tuned-in to their bodies. Totally worth the bribes.
Godspeed!
Maddy
P.S. Quality is key – don’t waste your efforts on a gummy or a cartoon character.
The “keeper of the keys”!
I am in the keeper of the keys in my house. I take care of the shopping, meal planning and cooking. There is responsibility and power in that. How do things work in your house? I think it is very sad that the obesity rate in kids is so high. One out of three kids is obese. How does this happen? It feels like things have fallen apart.
Small changes can have a huge impact.
We are creating a wellness community with OutdoorFit. We talk about balance eating of protein, carbs and healthy fats. We know the importance of exercise and high quality supplements, for ourselves and our kids.
The changes need to start with you. Are you ready?
Imagine…
I would tell you to close your eyes and take a deep breath through your nose but you need to read this.
Here goes…take a deep breath through your nose. Inhale and Exhale.
Imagine…
getting dressed and your clothes fitting.
going through your day with great energy. (without feeling exhausted at 3pm and craving chocolate chip cookies)
freedom from aches and pains.
loving working out.
glowing vibrant skin.
feeling good at any age.
Join me for an intimate wellness gathering at my home. Sunday, December 4th at 4 PM. My intention is to expand our wellness community. There are small changes you can make that will begin to have a great impact on your life and health. This will extend to your family’s life as well.(I am flying solo this Sunday, Christa, my wellness buddy is going to be away.)
My house is small and cozy so I need to keep the group small so please let me know if you can make it so I can save you a seat. Please email me at outdoorfitnessnj@gmail.com

Egg Wrap for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
I had tea this afternoon with Wendy Fallon HHC. Wendy is a friend of OutdoorFit and has given great presentations for us. She has created a Free online cookbook. You can download it from her website. She has many great recipes but the egg wrap looked especially good.
egg wrap
Created by Dana Fallon, DMD, Cyclist and Health Coach with Renew Wellness. Dana specializes in sports nutrition. He includes race day tips in the recipe.
Dana’s Note:
Go for pasture-raised organic eggs whenever possible. Eggs are an excellent source of protein and don’t worry about cholesterol, it is an essential component of our cells as well as a crucial element in fighting inflammation. Dietary cholesterol has a minimal impact on serum cholesterol. Please, eat the whole egg!
what goes in:
1 t olive oil or coconut oil ½ c diced mushrooms 1 c chopped kale (or green of choice) 2 eggs a dash or two of turmeric (anti-inflammatory) hot sauce, chili sauce, or salsa to taste salt & pepper corn tortillas (non-GMO) options: avocado cooked sweet potato shredded cheese cooked rice
putting it together:
• Saute the mushrooms and kale in oil over medium heat. • Crack your eggs on top and cover till cooked. • Meanwhile, toast your tortillas if desired. • Assemble, include options and top with seasoning of choice. This dish fits well as an ideal start to the day, lunch plate or lighter dinner. You can wrap this in wax paper and take it on the road if needed. If you choose this as an early breakfast before a race: keep the spices to a minimum or don’t include them at all and be sure to add rice or potato. Allow plenty of time for digestion.
Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner!
