DAY 3 RESET!
Evan K. from our City Center Branch shares
a quote from his favorite athlete:

"The battles that count aren’t the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself – the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us – that’s where it’s at." -Jesse Owens
Today's Advice
KT's Breakfast Breakdown:
Everyone's fitness goals are very different, but breakfast is very important for everyone! For the first meal of the day, focus on lean protein with a slow burn complex carbohydrate. Having a carb that slow burns will ensure that your blood sugars stay level, eliminating spiking, feeling fuller longer, and giving you a boost of energy that you need for your AM. KT's go to breakfasts ideas include:
  • 1/3 Cup Old- Fashioned Oats (NOT INSTANT!) 50 Cal, 8.9 Carb.
  • 3 Egg Whites & 1 Whole Egg (add cayenne pepper or salsa for a kick)
  • 3 Slices of Turkey Bacon
  • Add a 1/2 a cup of a steamed veggie of choice
KT's Breakfast Stats: 304 Calories, 16 g Carbs, 13 g Fat,
& 27 g Protein

Black Coffee or Tea is a great addition- KT says water is best! She says, "I also enjoy fruit flavored powered drink mix with 0 sugar with my water- a tasty way to get my gallon a day!"

Thanks KT for helping us get started with protein and a solid carb for our day!

Luke 2:52

“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”

Dr. Luther Gulick helped to found the physical department in 1897 at what is now known as Springfield College. Dr. Gulick created what is now known as the inverted triangle while at the college. We in the YMCA recognize this as the YMCA triangle where the three sides of the triangle represent “spirit, mind and body.”
