Apple Pecan MuffinsHave you ever fallen into the droopy-sleepy-yawny-have-no-energy trap? When both the middle of the morning and the middle of the afternoon feel like bedtime? Ugh. I have. Back when my breakfast consisted of mainly grain-based cereals or processed and refined breakfast pas- tries. Add to that a cup or two of sugar-sweetened coffee in the morning and a couple of corn syrup–sweetened caffeinated beverages in the afternoon, and I was left with a roller coaster of inconsistent energy levels. All of that changes when you started avoiding refined sugars and processed and packaged breakfast foods. Dips in your energy evens out into one steady stream of reliable energy. What a difference a consistent pep in your step makes! I contemplated naming these “All Day Energy Muffins,” because these moist morsels give you wings—more so than any energy drink I’ve ever tried. Check out the ingredients and you’ll see what I mean: flax, almonds, eggs, banana, apple, pecans—I doubt you could find a muffin recipe with more goodness crammed into it than this. No really, don’t waste your time looking—just make these and enjoy! Courtesy of RealHealthyRecipes.com Here’s what you need

Don's Success Story!
This week we wanted to share a special patient success story! Don has been coming to PT here for a little over a year to improve his balance and gait. His progress has been fantastic...in just the past two months, he no longer uses a walker for balance and his next goal is to be able to jog again!
Why do you enjoy coming here for PT? It's effective, the people are great and no matter how I feel walking in, I always walk out feeling great! After a long career as a CFO, Don runs DJ Business Strategies, where he consults middle market companies. He also enjoys playing his guitars. Great job Don!! Exercise of the Week: Biceps
