NFL DRAFT UPDATE:  As you may remember from my January and February Newsletters, I mentioned I was contracted by BMartinSports and Parabolic Performance & Rehab to work with some of this year’s NFL hopefuls.  The training was held in northern New Jersey at Parabolic, and I had to design specific food plans to meet their sports nutrition needs and provide them with a sports nutrition lecture to help them understand how to fuel their bodies for optimal performance.  I am really excited to announce where some of those fellas wound up during the 2015 NFL Draft:

Big CONGRATS to Mike Burton (pictured with Michael and I below)!  Mike was a walk-on Fullback at Rutgers, and wound up working his butt off to get an invite to the NFL Combine and was drafted in the 5th round (128th pick overall)!!!  Hard work pays off Burton!! YAHOO . . . Great guy too. 

 

And here is a list of the other amazing athletes I had the pleasure of working with and the teams they will be working for!:

Trevor Siemian – Quarteback from Northwestern – Denver Broncos (250th overall pic!)

Tyrell Williams – Wide Receiver from Western Oregon – San Diego Chargers

Will Tye – Tight End from Florida State – New York Giants 

Kendall Moore – Inside Linebacker from Notre Dame — Rookie Mini Camp Tennessee Titans (stay tuned for updates!)

Gary Nova – Quarterback from Rutgers — Rookie Mini-Camp, New York Giants

Kevin Henry – Offensive Lineman from Central Michigan Univ.- Hamilton Tigercats, CFL

Ace Clark — Safety from Western Carolina – He is being looked at by the Seattle Seahawks … Stay tuned for updates!

“DEAR HILLARIE” Letter From One of Our Readers:

Dear Hillarie:  I am on your newsletter distribution list since I attended one of your charity bootcamps, and wanted to ask a question about coffee.  A few friends of mine have done diet plans that state you shouldn’t drink coffee because it creates belly fat.  I’m not exactly sure how that is possible, especially since I only use a splash of low-fat half & half and a teaspoon of raw sugar in the three cups I drink per day.  Then I was speaking to another friend who said she was encouraged by you to give up her coffee for a month when she was following your nutritional plan.  Can you please explain to me why coffee is so bad.  I always read that coffee produces mental alertness and also has antioxidants.  Is that not true? Happy to try to give it up if there is a good reason. Regards, Kathy (from Somerville)

Dear Kathy:  Thanks so much for writing . . . Happy to help.  Did you know that coffee makes your body over-produce Cortisol? Here’s something that maybe you didn’t know . . . Cortisol is a stress-induced chemical that is released by the adrenal gland. While some cortisol is beneficial for survival, some people overproduce cortisol. When this happens, you may notice you feel anxious, stressed out and have a tendency to gain weight – especially in your belly (mid-section). It is imperative to take action, once you notice any or all of these symptoms. Reducing the amount of cortisol produced within your body can have a positive effect on your overall health and leave you feeling more relaxed and balanced. The reason I ask people to give up coffee when they are trying to decrease bodyfat and increase energy levels is because the body can operate more efficiently and you can lose weight faster when you stop over-producing cortisol.  The program your friend is referring to is a nutritional cleansing program that helps your body achieve an alkaline balance, and not only does it help control Cortisol levels in your body, but it also helps to control blood sugar levels – therefore, making weight loss and maintenance a breeze. You are allowed to drink caffeinated green tea since that is a different kind of caffeine and is alkaline balanced.  I hope this is a good enough reason to try to give up coffee.  Your body will THANK you . . . I promise!  Thanks for writing and hope this helped.  Regards, Hillarie

READY TO GET SERIOUS WITH YOUR DIET NOW THAT MEMORIAL DAY HAS COME AND GONE?  SUMMER IS COMING!  Thirty days can change your life . . It did for me!  This 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse will help you decrease bodyfat, lose weight and inches, improve energy levels and most of all, you will be healthier!  And this program works FAST, which is a great way to stay motivated throughout the program.  This weight-loss plan is not only scientifically proven, but the magic is in the maintenance.  I now have a game plan for weekend fun, vacations, and the holidays.  And I don’t need to feel deprived, nor guilty for enjoying myself – and the shakes are delicious.  This is the “cleanest” line of supplements along with healthy eating – and there is no artificial sweeteners, and is soy-free and gluten-free!  There is also a Vegan version for those who need it!  If you are interested in learning more about just drop me an email with your cell number, and I will give you a call:  [email protected] .  I would be happy to provide complimentary coaching for this program so you are sure to succeed!  And you do not have to be an !MPACT client to get in on this one . . . Come one . . . Come all!  The before and after photos on this program are amazing!  And you can take the weight off and KEEP it off!

FIT & FUN CAMP — WEEK OF JULY 6TH IS FULL and WEEK OF JULY 13TH IS FULL.  If you’d like to get on our waiting list, since sometimes people have to cancel due to last minute vacation plans, please email:  [email protected]

AT PHEASANTS LANDING (HILLSBOROUGH):  Please consider attending Steps Together’s information session to learn about the walk/run team for their biggest fundraiser in September.  This information session is free, and you will also learn a little bit about the beneficiaries of Steps Together so you will know who you are helping.  There will be a cash bar in the banquet room We encourage dining before or after the information session at Pheasant’s Landing. They have both an indoor restaurant and outside patio dining.   Come and get motivated to take part in this event.  See more info below.

FREE WALK-RUN PROGRAM:  To start prepping for the walk/run/race season, there will be two separate 1-hour sessions: 8:00 am – 9:00 am and again from  10:00 am – 11:00 am on Sunday mornings, starting June 14th along the D&R Canal.  Runners/walkers will meet at the Millstone (Rt. 514) entrance … The separate sessions are for convenience; if you can’t make the early session you can show up at the later one or vice verse.  The concept is that everybody will do 1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back session max … the faster paced people will obviously go farther than the walkers or slower paced, but everybody will still be back within the 1 hour session.

CONGRATS MIKE & CHRISTINE!  It’s going to be an amazing year of planning!

CONGRATS TO OUR MUDDERELLA PARTICIPANTS Mud Races are a great way to run with friends – along with getting a little dirty with some muddy obstacles too!  It’s funny because we have a great group of ladies who train with us who are not necessarily runners, and have NEVER entered a race like this.  The Mudderella was a great event where they ran a 5K with about a dozen obstacles in between.  We couldn’t be more proud of these girls, and so happy that many of them met at !MPACT.  Love the family/friend environment we are creating!  Congratulations to:  Claudette Workman, Sam Murphy, Dana Lust-Shellswell, Gina Roarty, Erica Terraciano, Tammy Quick, (see pictures below of the !MPACT girls who did it together)!  Way to go!

CONGRATULATIONS TO CHARLOTTE KENDRICK ROWE:  Charlotte and her husband, Dan are both clients at !MPACT who have utilized our nutritional and training services – and Charlotte is also a talented singer and song-writer.  She has been invited to sing at the upcoming Concert Under the Starts in Princeton on June 13th.  Charlotte’s music is acoustic folk pop with a hint of country, and is filled with passion . . . In her words, Charlotte wrote love songs that don’t pretend everything is perfect and easy all the time.  She wrote songs about being there for your kids when they make mistakes, without trying to fix everything for them.  She wrote songs about what some women go through when they realize their role as ‘mom’ isn’t going to be enough to make them happy, that it’s not fair to expect their kids to fill that void, and that they need to reclaim a piece of their old selves…or take a leap of faith and try something new.  Perfect family music you have got to come and hear.  Come out for a beautiful night in Princeton, and if you wish to hear some of her music, you can do so by going to her website:  http://www.charlottekendrick.com/music/   AND TO ORDER TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT ON JUNE 13TH:  https://secure.princetonhistory.org/concert-under-the-stars/

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:

Let’s make this a great summer . . . in just a few weeks, the kids will be out of school, and that is the time when parents find themselves really multi-tasking . . . trying to keep the kids busy while managing careers or household chores.  Don’t put yourself LAST this summer.  If you are creating a schedule for your kids, then create a schedule for yourself.  Slot off some time on your calendar for regular weekly food shopping so you have healthy and fresh produce and lean proteins, figure out where you can squeeze in 30-60 minute workouts a few days per week, and make time for meal planning on Sunday’s so you are ready for another busy week.  Introduce healthy meal and snack options for your kids and try to get them (and YOU) drinking more water.  Let’s have a happy and healthy summer . . . I’m ready to kick it off!  And if you need any guidance, just give me a jingle . . . Happy to help:  908-428-7978!

Have a great day and a healthy month!  God Bless.

Hillarie
