Dinner this weekend...Yum!

Seviche-Style Shrimp and Avocado Tacos



Look for cooked, peeled shrimp at the seafood counter; or quickly thaw frozen cooked, peeled shrimp in a colander under cold running water. Marinate shrimp in a nonreactive bowl, such as one that is glass or ceramic; an aluminum or copper bowl will react with the citrus juice to give the shrimp a metallic taste.
Yield
6 servings (serving size: 2 tacos)

Ingredients
3 limes
1 cup chopped seeded tomato
1 cup diced peeled avocado (about 1 avocado)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound cooked peeled medium shrimp
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas


Preparation
Finely grate rind from limes to measure 1 tablespoon; juice limes to measure 1/4 cup. Place rind and juice in a large bowl. Add tomato and remaining ingredients except tortillas; toss well to combine. Cover and chill for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Heat tortillas according to package directions. Spoon about 1/2 cup shrimp mixture down center of each tortilla; fold in half. Serve immediately.

Yummy Drink Recipe

Here's a drink idea...

Make a gallon of Crystal Light Lemonade. (5 calories per serving) You can also use pink lemonade

Add Blueberries for flavor and health
Blueberries are 84 Calories per cup, but I hope you will not get a whole cup in a glass:)

If you are so inclined....use about 20 real leamons, 1 Gallon of water, and an artificial sweetener to taste.

Tips to remember

Make sure that you maintain proper form during all exercise. Back straight, tummy tight. Knees and arms are always soft and never locked, head and neck in a neutral position. You will see greater health benefits from proper form

I am glad to see some of you joining!!

I just wanted to post a quickie...

I was at a party today when someone asked me about my business. I gave them the usual sales pitch about the health benefits, changes I have seen, etc...Then she asked what I liked most and I got a little emotional. I said a couple of months ago 3 moms drove to a hospital...some from far away late at night to be there for another mom. This is what it is all about. Supporting each other through our emotional journey as well as our health and wellness journey. WOW! That is so uplifiting that you have each other...
