Healthy Blender Banana Bread

8/30/2021

0 Comments

 
I've been working to find a healthy breakfast for my son who is entering 2nd grade to eat before school. This super simple, healthy, blender banana bread did the trick.  He loved it and licked the plate.  Brookie and I actually went back to make another double batch after we sent most of this loaf to our trainer team.

So simple.  So good.  We hope you love them as much as we do!

Healthy Blender Banana Bread
INGREDIENTS: 
4 large overripe bananas
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup
4 dates 
2 eggs
2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda 
2 tablespoons cinnamon 
1/4 cup shredded coconut (OPTIONAL)
3 tablespoons chia seeds (OPTIONAL)
hemp hearts for sprinkling (OPTIONAL)

DIRECTIONS: 
1 - Preheat oven to 350.  Grease your parchment-lined loaf pan.  
2 - Add all ingredients to blender or food processor & blend until batter is smooth
3 - Pour batter into greased loaf pan.  Top with more bananas and sprinkle with hemp hearts.  
4 - Bake for ~40-50 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.  Let cool.  DEVOUR!  

So good!  I hope you love it as much as we do!


Lots of love,

Paige & Brookie

Movement is POWER

8/25/2021

0 Comments

 
Movement is POWER.

You create POWER by moving your body in an intentional way that feels really good.

This isn’t just about exercise. Your body CRAVES movement and will usually feel a LOT better (fewer aches and pains, better mood, etc.) when you move your body regularly.

Having a stronger, limber body improves the quality of your life in general. You are able to continue to do and ENJOY doing the things you love to do when you are healthy and fit.
We would love to help you create your POWER.

FYI: this video is from our Trainer Workshop where they are working to create their POWER in order to transfer it to you.


Happy training!

Making Taco Tuesday HEALTHIER

8/24/2021

0 Comments

 
It's Tuesday, so that means.... TACOS!

Tacos are a staple in our house and we just started adding cauliflower rice and vegetarian refried beans to our ground beef taco mix.

We love it because it stretches the beef and makes sure our kids get some nice healthy vegetables in their meal.
Let me know if you’re going to give it a try!

Here is Brookie showing how she likes to help cook dinner!


​Enjoy!

If You Want to Change the World, Start by Making Your Bed

8/24/2021

0 Comments

 
At a now famous 2014 University of Texas commencement address, Admiral William H. McRaven delivered a brilliant, impassioned speech helping college-educated people understand the incredible life lessons that Navy SEALs learn through their wildly intense training.

Navy SEAL training is designed to turn people into leaders, and teach people soft skills like teamwork, determination, and integrity.

This month at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness, we are talking about routines that set you up for success.  And as Admiral McRaven shares, making your bed in the morning  reinforces that the little things matter.

And... this is important because, if you do the little things, you’ll be ready to be disciplined when the bigger challenges inevitably present themselves.


​Have a listen here: 



I hope this inspired you to think more deeply about your daily routines and how they are either bringing you closer or farther away from the life that you want to live.  

If you are interested in going deeper on this topic with us, be sure to download our FREE guide to help you create positive morning and evening routines.

We know you are crazy busy, so the strategies in the guide are:
  • simple,
  • actionable,
  • and achievable without having to wake up at 4 a.m. to follow an elaborate 20-item morning checklist.

The exercises in this guide will help you start and finish your days feeling calm and in charge – keeping you on the path towards reaching your goals and building momentum in each and every aspect of your life.

Would you guess this?

8/18/2021

Would you guess this? In high school, I rode the bench for class D sports. I was on the team because they needed an extra warm body… for the bench AND I was always picked LAST for dodgeball. Never in a MILLION years did I imagine that I would be in the health and fitness industry, but here I am.
Healthy living (not hand-eye coordination or body awareness) from a very young age was one of my core values. I believe that health and fitness is the foundation from which we build an EPIC life. It took me a lot to come around to understand that I had a lot to offer to help people commit to their health and fitness. Our trainer team is AMAZING - it is my job to help connect you with them and inspire you to commit to yourself. So tell me - what is a fun fact about your younger self?



Lots of love,
​

Paige

5 books that have changed my life

8/16/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
​A friend recently asked me what 5 books have changed my life. I LOVED the question because it really made me think hard about what books have made a deep impact in my life. I told her:

1- Start With Why by Simon Sinek - this one was easy to share first because it really did change the trajectory of my life. When I read this I was still working my corporate job (that I liked) and it made me really dig deep to understand what really motivated me. I wanted to make an impact - to make a change in the world - I wanted to make the world a better place - I wanted to help people achieve big things and live their life without any limitations.

2 - The Fire Starter Sessions by Danielle Laporte - this book helped me uncover my core desired feelings. I want to feel excited. Now that I know this, I am able to seek projects and work that make me feel excited.

3 - You Are a Badass by Sincero - this book really helped me understand that you are in full control and you can design the life that you love. This is one of the books that gave me the courage to go for it and live and work in Costa Rica with my family for months at a time and go across the country in an RV with 2 little kids for 2 months.

4 - The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz - this book is so powerful - it goes through 4 rules for life to experience true happiness and joy.

5 - Untamed by Glennon Doyle - LOVED this book! Too much to unpack here but to me, it was really about living your true authentic life and understanding that you as a person grows and evolves as you grow up - even as an adult and the challenge is staying authentic to yourself as you go through life's journey.

So those are the 5 books that changed my life. I told you mine... now please... tell me yours! I need to fill up my reading list!


Lots of love,
​

Paige

What does WILCOX trainer, Katie, eat in a day?

8/13/2021

0 Comments

​So many people ask what our senior trainer eats in a day. Katie is an amazing athlete and person. Katie works hard all year, not only training and changing the lives of members in our community, but training herself.

​She is always in training for something, whether it is an Ironman, The Boston Marathon, or like you, just training to live.

​
Above anything else, Katie loves helping other people fall in love with fitness. She is often seen nibbling on healthy snacks here and there between her training sessions.

​This is from Katie – what she eats in a day:


Picture

​Being a personal trainer, I am on my feet all day and am constantly in-between clients trying to scarf some food down! At work, I know that I get one chance to show people that working out can be the best part of their day, so I constantly need to be ON POINT.

A lot of people have been asking lately what I eat in a day with my busy schedule. The key for me is to prepare and plan my meals and snacks so that I can nourish myself throughout the day. On Sunday, I meal prep the snacks and lunches that I will need to sustain my energy. 
​


​4:30 am // Wake up call!

4:35 am // I drink 16 oz of water.  

5:00 am // Eqq Souffle cups or Overnight oats – this is filled with healthy carbs and protein. This keeps me going and energized until my mid-morning snack!  ​

Check out our Overnight Oats recipe here:
www.wilcoxwellnessfitness.com/overnight-oats
 
8:00am // Smoothie from our Healthy Living Guidebook!  I will sip on this all morning. 

11:30 am // A quick snack of almonds & berries 

1:00 pm // Lunch is a salad loaded with veggies, avocado, and chicken or tuna. The protein gives me fuel and energy. Sometimes I will meal prep a bag of quinoa and load it. “Kitchen sink Quinoa.” 
​

4:30 pm // Either an RX bar or apple with almond butter. Snacking consistently throughout the day on some thing that has carbs, fats, & protein is key. It is a “complete” snack 

​7:30 pm //  Protein like Salmon, pork, chicken, or steak, lots of veggies- i’m obsessed with broccoli and cauliflower, and quinoa. 


8:30 pm // Popcorn- either Boom Chicka Pop or Skinny Pop. I have popcorn EVERY NIGHT. It satisfies my sweet tooth and has healthy carbs in it!  

Every day: a gallon of water and 12oz of green tea or Kombucha!

There you have it – what our senior trainer, Katie, eats in a day. Katie eats very well so that she can perform at her best, both in life and in her athletic pursuits. She follows our Habits for Massive Impact in terms of nutrition. Here they are:
Picture

​It is also important to note that as long as you are on point following these guidelines 80% of the time, the other 20% of the time you can really enjoy yourself and indulge in your favorite foods and activities.  And yes, Katie has days when she does not always eat like this, but when she is on point with nutrition, this is the day! 


Enjoy!
​

0 Comments

 
When people ask me what makes our training business different than others, the answer is super simple and it is one word.

COACHING.

Take a listen to this video - you will notice that Katie (our senior trainer in Bangor) is constantly coaching, correcting, encouraging, and supporting the group.

We are a team of coaches and we take what we do really seriously. When you train with us, you will get coaching every step of the way- no matter what level you are at.
​
We will meet you where you are, and help you get to where you want to go.

​Everyone is on their own fitness journey and we promise when you join our program, you will get the coaching you need to feel really confident and comfortable as you are getting started AND the support and encouragement to keep going as you level up.



Happy training!
