CHILI SEASONING RECIPE! Ok, just a couple things….

- Yes, there are odd vegetables in my chili. Why? Um, why not?! Add more nutrients whenever you can.

- Use multiple kinds of beans! More bang for your buck!

- Yes, I use plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Why? More protein and probiotics!

Here is a large batch recipe for the chili seasoning!

Ingredients:
- 1 C chili powder 🌶️
- 1/2 C garlic powder 🧄
- 1/2 C cumin
- 1/4 C + 2 Tbsp onion powder 🧅
- 1/4 C oregano 🌿
- 1/4 C paprika

Mix together and store in airtight jar. 🫙

Add some spice to your life - and keep it healthy peeps! ♨️🌶️💥

** other ingredients in my chili pot was grass fed lean ground beef, tri-colored beans, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, fire roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, and a bag of mixed frozen vegetables (green beans, peas, carrots, and corn). That’s it! 🥣

Many people ask where I get my high quality meat…. I’ve been ordering from ButcherBox for many years. 😋

Some of my favs are definitely the filets, chicken breasts, seasonal hams/turkeys, and the burgers. 🍔

Give it a try!

This is why I train.

When you realize you were one of the oldest on the trail....

When you can trek up to 12,000 feet above sea level with only a 1 1/2 day acclimation period....

When you can hike a HARD trail without ever questioning whether you can....

When a 7 mile trail is just what we do....

When you want to continue to live like this for another 30 years!!! 👏🏻👍🏻👊🏻🤞🏻

FEAR-BASED MOTIVATION. What I’m going to say probably isn’t what you are thinking.🤔

I’ve seen it so many times in the last 13 years, that someone who gets an “unpleasant health diagnosis” decides that they need to start working out and eating better.

Initial fear motivates change.

Maybe it’s high cholesterol, high blood pressure, suddenly gaining 20 lbs, a diabetes diagnosis, a cancer diagnosis, and even brain diseases…..

These individuals start working out.

They start having a salad a day.

They give up alcohol.

They start doing all the biohacking stuff (light therapy, cold/heat therapies, etc, etc).

They start doing all the things they can think of that will help “treat them”.

And, believe me, I’m all for that! But the problem is….

It is usually not sustainable.

I’ve seen so many people fail, meaning they give up on their workouts, eating the salads, they go back to drinking, and just all the things….

Why?

Fear- based motivation can typically trigger that initial “Oh my God, I need to fix this” sense of urgency.

But, why people don’t continue is because they eventually lose the emotional fuel required for long-term commitments.

Or, they escape the immediate threat, and then go back to their old ways.

Or, their anxiety behind the situation just causes more stress and dread doing the things…

How do people commit then?

You need to focus on the immediate benefits you see in your changes.

- sleeping better?
- more energy?
- feel stronger?
- mood improvement?

Whatever it is, you need to stop focusing on the immediate threat, and start focusing on the big picture and how your changes have affected you.

That is what creates consistency and commitment.

LEFT-OVER FRIES…. Last night we had Loaded Burger Fries, but tonight, I took the left-over fries and created a dip for them.

The dip is Onion Dip, however, it’s made with Greek yogurt!

I mean, why not? Why use sour cream, when you can pump up the protein?

Such an easy substitute for sour cream…Try using plain Greek yogurt instead for all different kinds of things!

- dips
- Mexican food topping
- soups
- potato toppings!
- anything!

I air fried the potatoes again to crisp them up.

A perfect side next to a great green salad! 🥗
