Food. Fun. and Smile Saturday?
Eat and Move like an Olympian!
with Elaine Hastings, RD
Growing up in a small town in Michigan brought its?challenges?but I never let that stop me. Ever!
I thing my father taught me was that I could do anything I wanted. ?He would say half-pint, ?as long as you work hard and never give up, you will achieve your dreams. ?My father was right! ?We all have the ability to go for the GOLD! ?The question really is, Do we have the heart and soul for what it takes to reach beyond our comfort zone. ?Don?t worry, your not alone, I still struggle with this my self.
Eat and move like an Olympian?
As a 6 year old, I remember watching the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and thinking, I am going to be a World Olympic Gold Medalist some day or if NOT a model would be fine too. Lol ?I was for sure that I was going to be competing against?Nadia Elena Com?neci?in the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Oh yeah, that would have made me 10 years old, I am a bit of an over achiever 
Not to worry, 1984 would come soon and I knew that I could make the US Women?s Gymnastic Team. ?Well OK, Mary Lou Retton beat me on that one; I guess I would have to take the back seat and wait it out for Seoul.
I practiced and believed the Olympics were in my?future. ?Until I became so ill that I could no longer?participate?as an athlete. ?I am sure your thinking, so your father wasn?t right! ?No, he was right! ?I lost my focus and my drive. ?I gave up on myself!
We CAN?T give up on ourselves, EVER! ?I learn through this experience and I will share with you that we have it within ourselves, we just need to locate it. ?Locator button anyone? ?I am going to talk more about the keys to our life and how to use them in future blogs. ?If your searching, stay with me and we will laugh, cry and learn to locate our keys.
Don?t ever stop. Don?t ever give up. EVER!

Make Substitutions
- Use low fat evaporated skim milk instead of cream

- Replace one-half or all of the white rice, pasta and flour with their whole-grain counterparts
- Use applesauce in place of oil when baking brownies
Use Less
- Use less fat than the recipe calls for (if the recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of oil, try it?with 1 or 2 tablespoons)
- Use less sugar than the recipe calls for (start with just a fourth less and see how it tastes)
Add Healthful Ingredients
- ?Add chopped carrots and peppers to meatloaf
- ?Add barley to beef stew
- ?Add sliced pears and pine nuts to mixed green salad

Serve Smaller Portions
- ?Instead of serving an entire plate of macaroni ?n cheese, serve a smaller portion along with a salad and steamed veggies
- ?Have one slice of roast beef with one dollup of mashed potatoes with a large spoonful?of steamed vegetables or mixed green salad
Try some recipe makeovers with your main courses and see if you can remake a not so healthy meal into a healthy, lower calorie option.
