WEIGHT-LOSS CONTEST STARTS SEPTEMBER 8TH! We’re calling it the “End-of-Summer/Damage-Control Challenge” (LOL!) If you thoroughly enjoyed your summer, but are ready to reel yourself with regards to your diet plan, then LISTEN UP! This is a 24-Day Challenge where you follow a very simple diet plan (that we provide) while taking some helpful nutritional supplements that will boost your metabolism, suppress your appetite, improve your energy levels, and most of all, help you take off any weight we “may have” gained over the summer. The 24-Day Challenge starts with a 10-Day cleanse to help really boost your metabolism throughout the rest of the challenge. You can count on your !MPACT staff to coach you through the process to keep you motivated and on track for success! PRIZES!!! We thought we would motivate you further by adding prizes for our top two participants. A $150 Gift Certificate will be given to the participant who loses the highest percentage of their body-weight during the 24-Day Challenge. A $50 gift certificate will be given to the client who loses the most weight/pounds during the 24-Day Challenge. You don’t have to enter the contest in order to participate in the challenge . . . maybe you just want to become accountable again and want weight-loss results. If you are interested in ordering your supplements to get started with us on September 8th, email: [email protected].
HILLARIE IS DOING “SKINNY WRAPS”!: You might remember that over the last two years, I invited Melissa Rice to come to !MPACT a few times to wrap our clients with SKINNY WRAPS (a detox product that will shrink your waistline!). Well, I loved the products so much that I wanted to join Melissa Rice’s team to be able to offer “It Works” products to my family, friends and !MPACT clients. You can expect “ultimate” results with this amazing 45-minute body applicator that is made with ALL NATURAL ingredients! The Ultimate Body Applicator is a non-woven cloth wrap that has been infused with a powerful, botanically-based formula to deliver maximum tightening, toning, and firming results when applied to the skin. It not only tightens, tones and firms – but it minimizes cellulite appearance, and improves skin texture & tightness. It is mess-free, simple to use, and provides results in as little as 45 minutes (with progressive results over 72 hours). Some people wrap their tummy or love-handle area, others do their arms, or thighs . . . Wraps are only $30, so drop me an email if you would like to get wrapped: [email protected]
CONDOLENCES: At this time our !MPACT staff would like to offer our sincere condolences to our friend Melissa Rice for the loss of her brother, Jared Colon. Jared was headed into his senior year at Hillsborough High School, and died from complications after being hit by another student on the evening of July 26th. As printed in an article at NJ.com: “Jared was best known for his love of the outdoors, his compassion towards others, and his dedication to living life to the fullest.” Melissa Rice was quoted as saying “Jared used his time on earth to touch as many people as possible”. Jared donated his organs and has already helped save five lives. Not many people can say they know anyone who has done that. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Melissa and her family. It is so upsetting to think that some of our teens today are unaware they can truly hurt someone or kill someone with the use of their hands. Although the boy who punched Jared certainly didn’t think he would commit murder, his entire life was changed forever as he and his family has to live with the fact he took someone’s life — and is now faces charges and jail sentencing. Nobody wins here . . . Teen violence is widespread throughout our country so we also offer our prayers to other families who are experiencing pain with the loss of a loved one. I found this great link about teen violence and wanted to share with our readers. The article not only provides solid facts about teen violence, but also about prevention – and lists some great resources for teens and parents. God bless Jared and his family: http://herkimercounty.org/content/Departments/View/11:field=services;/content/DepartmentServices/View/68:field=documents;/content/Documents/File/122.PDF
Jacqui Schuman, Director of Athletics & Wellness @ Convent of the Sacred Heart – with me!
INVITATION TO SPEAK TO THE FEMALE ATHLETES AT COVENANT OF THE SACRED HEART: What an exciting time . . . I was invited to provide a sports nutrition lecture to all the athletes at this very exclusive school on Friday, August 22nd. The Convent of the Sacred Heart is an independent Roman Catholic all-girls school in Manhattan/New York City. Teaching grades from pre-kindergarten through twelve, it is located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side at East 91st Street and Fifth Avenue. The school is housed in the former Otto H. Kahn House and James A. Burden House, both of which are New York City-Designated Landmarks. Not only does this school have a great history . . . but the school (at its new location) is brand new and includes an Olympic-size swimming pool, volleyball court and more! These young ladies were so interested in learning how to fuel their bodies for optimal performance . . . They showed genuine interest with lots of questions, which made this event super exciting for me. Many thanks to Jacqui (pictured above) and Lauren and the rest of the staff who invited me. Your facility is amazing and so are your students! I have traveled to several high schools in the New York and New Jersey area to teach student-athletes how to fuel their bodies . . . drop me an email if you are interested in having me come to your school: [email protected]. I also provide sports nutritional counseling for parents who would like to set up a one-on-one session with me. I have helped numerous male and female high school athletes who needed to improve performance or increase lean muscle through better nutrition. Drop me a line – happy to help!
DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN AGES 7-12 WHO WANT TO START TRAINING? . . . PARENTS MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER SMALL GROUP TRAINING FOR THEIR KIDS!: Although we don’t have anything on our group training calendar at the present time for children ages 7-12, please think about getting a small group of your child’s friends together for Small Group Training. You pick the day & time and we’ll find a match on our trainers’ calendar. We can accommodate as few as three children or as many as six in this Semi-Private Session! The kids will participate in fun speed & agility drills and obstacle courses. And we can be more sports specific with our program design if they play a particular sport. They will definitely get faster and stronger with this kind of training! Please email Mike if you are interested in getting your kids into !MPACT: [email protected]
Did you know we offer a special discounted rate for POLICE OFFICERS, EMS WORKERS AND FIREFIGHTERS?: YES, we do!

“HEALTHY” RECIPE . . .
Banana Oat Muffins:
These muffins are not only gluten-free, but are low-sugar and super moist and ridiculously tasty. If you make a batch of these, you can have one every morning with a hard-boiled egg or 3-4 scrambled eggwhites. And if you are like me and always looking for something yummy and nutritious to give your kids, this is it! And with school starting up, this is a simple & easy breakfast for your kids! The reason I add the hard-boiled egg or the side of eggwhites is because these muffins are a “carb” and we need to have a BALANCED breakfast by adding some protein. Helpful Tips: 1. Oatmeal coats the stomach keeping your stomach comfortable all day, while ginger calms the stomach by relaxing the muscles around the digestive track. 2. Freeze the muffin batter to bake at a later time. Or you can always freeze them after you bake them – just defrost on your counter the night before.
INGREDIENTS:
-
2 large ripe Bananas (mashed)
-
1/2 cup Skim Milk
-
1/2 cup plain 0% fat Greek Yogurt
-
1 Tablespoons fresh Ginger (grated; juice retained)
-
1 Tablespoon Molasses
-
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
-
1/2 cup Rolled Oats
-
2 cups Oat Flour 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
-
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
-
¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon Salt
-
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
-
Coconut Oil to grease muffin tray (or PAM cooking spray)
REGARDING THE FLOUR: Many supermarkets like Shop-Rite and Wegman’s sell oat flour so you can just pick it up there. Or you can put plain oatmeal/rolled oats into a Cuisinart or Mini-Chopper to make oat flour needed for this recipe. Lastly, if you prefer you can replace with whole wheat flour – then it just wouldn’t be Gluten-Free – that’s o.k. too)
DIRECTIONS:
– Preheat oven to 365 degrees. Lightly grease a muffin tin and set aside.
– In a small bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, yogurt, ginger juice, grated ginger, molasses and vanilla extract.
– In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until combined. Pour batter into muffin tin.
– Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving.
CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!
HE DID IT AGAIN!: Congratulations to our own Mike Kelderman for taking first place (AGAIN) in a recent strongman competition. This time it was a charity event called “Stronger Than ALL” and proceeds went to the Kelsey Run Foundation and Puppies Behind Bars. The contest was held on August 16th on Division Street in Somerville. We’re not only proud of this win, Mike . . . but also super pumped about the fact that you were carefully calculating your nutrition prior to the contest so you entered the heavyweight division. Thanks for showing them YOU have what it takes! Great job, Mike! We are lucky to have you on our staff . . . A great trainer . . . A great role-model for our clients.

PAY-IT-FORWARD
THERE IS STILL TIME TO REGISTER FOR THIS LOCAL CHARITY RACE!: Yes, I was able to get my soon-to-be 13-year old son, Anthony (a.k.a. Tony “bones”) to register for the Steeplechase run (5K) on Sunday, September 28th. Won’t you walk or run this with us? It’s awesome the donations collected will go to Steps-Together . . . my favorite local charity helping families with a medical crisis. As you know I was asked to be on their board of trustees several months ago, and I feel so great about what this non-profit organization does with ALL the money/donations they receive. They keep nothing! They give it all away to the 11 families/beneficiaries who are presently in the midst of a medical crisis. Courtney Newman (Co-Founder of Steps-Together) was able to help me create a website so people could run virtually! Therefore, if you are unable to take part in this event, maybe you would consider making a donation – which you can also do by clicking on the link to the special site that was created for this race. When you click on this, you will have the ability to register for the Steeplechase Run in Hillsborough on September 28th or simply make a donation. In addition to the 5K Tony and I are running, there is also a 10K and a new addition . . . a 2 mile walk for those who prefer to walk it. Let me know if you have any questions . . . happy to help, and hope you will run with Tony and I. When you register the Steeplechase Run through this website, your registration fee/donation will go to Steps Together. Thank you for helping these families in need. You can learn more about Steps Together along with info about the 11 families/beneficiaries on the attached link as well. Have a great day! LINK: http://www.razoo.com/story/Support-Our-Group

STEPS TOGETHER: This is a local charity dedicated to inspiring our community to paying their blessings forward and supporting families facing a medical crisis. They are New Jersey based, and we feel honored to take part in helping them raise funds. We held our “Bootcamp for Billy” back in June and raised $1100 for a Hillsborough toddler named Billy Biviano who has an inoperable brain tumor. Then, just this month, we donated a fully-equipped school back-pack and Staples gift card for a Hillsborough high school student who lost his mom to cancer and then just lost his home to an electrical fire. !MPACT Training plans on getting more involved with Steps Together in the months to come. If you are looking for a great charity to get involved with, check out their website: www.steps-together.com. Courtney and Mike Newman (founders of Steps Together) are wonderful people – dedicating their lives to helping others.
