Recipe: Mint Chocolate Bars

If mint chocolate ice cream and Thin Mints had a baby, these mint chocolate bars would be the result. They're also deceptively macro-friendly thanks to fat-free evaporated milk, light cream cheese and a punch of vanilla whey protein powder. Note that these bars firm up over time, so if you're looking to pack them in lunches, make sure they chill in the fridge over night, otherwise you may end up with a gooey mess (but we won't judge you if you decide to lick the tupperware). Serves: 16, serving size 31g Calories: 180, Protein: 5 g, Carbs: 13 g, Fat: 5 g Ingredients:

60 g evaporated fat-free milk

Milford Personal Trainer on the Importance of Self Talk During Uncertain Times

"We control with our own minds most everything in our lives, including our health, our careers, our relationships, and our futures." It's a startling hypothesis that Shad Helmstetter explores in his book What to Say When You Talk to Yourself and in uncertain times like we are experiencing today, an idea that is comforting if we can embody it. If you don't believe what you say to yourself and what you focus on dictates multiple things in your life try this experiment: ask someone to count to ten in their head and DON'T STOP, then ask them a question after a few seconds. It can be any question: what color is the sky, what is their middle name, etc, and when they answer ask what number they ....

Dover Personal Trainer gives a guide to self care (for Caregivers)

If you’ve ever ridden on an airplane you’re probably familiar with the safety demonstrations they give at the beginning of each flight. One of the main points they go over is if there is a situation where the oxygen masks drop, you’re told to always secure your own mask first, before helping others. Even if you’re seated next to someone who is not immediately available to help themselves, you’re still informed to make sure you’re okay first. This is a great metaphor for the necessity of caring for yourself before you care for others. This is especially true for caregivers. Often caregivers of any kind prioritize those they care for above themselves in ....

Milford Personal Trainer: Sleep Hacks to Support Your Goals

Did you know that humans are the only species that deprive themselves of sleep on purpose? Whether it's because you have to finish up work late into the evenings (#taxseason for our accountants out there), or you had a social commitment that lasted late into the night, there are definitely times when we choose to not sleep as much as we should. It's totally normal, but when it comes to losing weight, fitting your clothes better, and increasing your energy sleep is an ESSENTIAL part of the equation. Even if you're eating well and exercising frequently enough, if you aren't sleeping your body isn't recovering and that can put a huge stopper on your progress. If you've experience this, ....
