Spring Jeans Challenge

The Spring Jeans Challenge is open to member registration January 2nd, 2012, and open to the general public on January 9th, 2012.

Last fall we had great success with 22 ladies completing the challenge.  However, in an effort to make it even better this time we are restricting participation to just 10 people.

The goal of the challenge is to focus on good habits rather than the number on the scale. Points are awarded for how well you stick to your habits and prizes are awards at the end of the challenge including a $150 Nordstrom gift card to get some new jeans.  And to give you more incentive we will focus on how well you fit in your jeans instead of your weight.

  •  Current members will be bumped up to unlimited classes during the challenge. Non-members will receive two months of unlimited classes during the challenge.
  • Group as well as individual habits will be assigned and monitored through one group discussion and one individual counseling session per week.
  • You will receive a Journal specific to the challenge to plan, prep, and record progress.
  • The challenge goes from February 4th – March 31st.
  • Members cost is $99. Non-members cost is $499 (which includes a two month membership).

Protein Packed Pizza

Protein packed pizza

 

16oz ground turkey

12oz or 4 cups of oatmeal

2 tsp of ground flax meal

4 tsp baking powder

 

Makes about 7 patties

 

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients together throughly ( I get better results when weighing my oatmeal. If too dry add one egg white to help the “dough” comes together ( this will slightly change the calories per crust but not much). When “dough” is well mixed separate mix with about 1/2 cup portions. Place patties on a cookie sheet and fatten them down until 1/2 inch thick about 2 per cookie sheet. Cook in oven about 2-5 min on each side or until turkey is cooked through. If cooking all at once please be mindful of not trying to flatten out the next ground on the hot cookie sheet! Let   Patties cool and freeze them with ziplock or Tupperware.

When ready to eat take them out of the freezer top them with desired toppings and bake in oven at 350 until the cheese(or cottage cheese) melts.

Thermometer Jeans Challenge

Starting September 6th Taiso Fitness and Nutrition will begin a Thermometer Jeans Challenge.

But what is a Thermometer Jeans Challenge? Glad you asked! It is an opportunity to stop measuring your success by a number on the scale! Here’s how it works:

Brings in a pair of jeans you would like to fit into.
We’ll take a picture of you trying to get ‘em on over a pair of spandex shorts or pants.
We will keep your jeans at the gym and you can try ‘em on throughout the challenge.
You will have 8 weeks to get into your jeans…and
At the end of the challenge you’re a winner if you can say:
“I CAN FIT INTO MY SKINNY JEANS!”
Getting into your jeans is really just a bonus. The real focus of the program is for you to develop healthy habits. And to help you do that we measure your success by how well you adhere to your specific lifestyle habits.
We help each participant select habits that will have the greatest impact on your success. Then each week we award points based on how well you met your personal habit goals.
The contest concludes with a healthy potluck and tiered prize drawings. The more points you have the better prizes you are eligible for including a $150 dollar gift card to Nordstroms for a new pair of (skinny) jeans.

Congratulations to our new Movement Re-education Specialist

Last year Butch began a program in applied neuroscience and many of you wondered what just happened when he worked on your foot and your shoulder pain went away, or another seemingly unrelated connection.  This training is for the top 1% of trainers, coaches, and therapists worldwide and this week he became certified as a Movement Re-education Specialist.  Over the last year many of our members have experienced the immediate feedback you get when you training the visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems together. This is the absolute leading edge in applied neuroscience and Butch is the only trainer in Tacoma in the program, and he works exclusively at Taiso Fitness and Nutrition.

If you have not experienced how all this works, grab him after class and ask to see some of that “freaky stuff.”

Hike at Haley Park on the Key Peninsula

Saturday we had a great hike to Haley Park in the Key Peninsula park system.

Pictures Here

The trail is marked by a small sign and hard to find if you have not been there previously.  The park itself is situation on the coast of the sound and has maybe two or three campsites.  It is undeveloped so there are no restrooms.  It was great for an early season trek that is near Tacoma without much of a drive.  There is also some adjacent marsh area that might be a concern for mosquitoes in the warmer months. Overall, very enjoyable.

Thirteen of us headed out, the hike took about 40 minutes each way and we stopped at the beach for about a half-hour.  It was a great chance to grab a snack and let the dogs chase birds.

Can reading improve your physique?

There are many factors that contribute to ones success in a fitness program.  These factors are simple but generally true; the people you surround yourself with, being in competitive atmospheres, and lastly what our thoughts, are all factors in success. Reading contributes to the our thoughts, using our thoughts to provoke a level of determination and focus that it takes to achieve your health and fitness goals. While I’m sure you may dream everyday what you’d like your body to look like, but do you ever consider what it takes to achieve that body? I recommend reading books that have a intriguing story about someone who had similar goals to you, so you can read about their struggles and associate with the character. This is a powerful tool, you begin to realize what if takes to DO in order to achieve your goals. You relate to the character and cheer them on just as much as you begin actualize the behaviors and believe in the process, while also growing the confidence in yourself So the next book your thinking about reading think about what goals did I want to accomplish this year. If they can do it so can you!

See you soon,

Jennifer

Relief Flight for Japan – Update

Coats, blankets, and sleeping bags for Japan

Earlier this week Brent and Kayla Pevehouse told us about a relief flight this weekend to Japan and we offered to help spread the word and serve as a collection point for the North End.  By Wednesday evening Brent was able to deliver the first load to McCord Air Force Base. Then on Thursday more stuff kept pouring in all day.

Coats, blankets and sleeping bags kept coming in from our members, soldiers from Fort Lewis, and members of the Masonic Lodge on Proctor.  The contributions will be flying out this Saturday morning and are greatly needed by the thousands of displaced families in Japan.

Taiso means “exercise” in Japanese, and the name was no coincidence. I have friends in Tokyo, Noda and Saitama, and Jennifer’s Grandmother is from Sasebo so being able to a play a part in getting your generous donations delivered is especially meaningful to us.
