Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Place muffin liners in muffin tin.

Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.  In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, applesauce, oil, eggs, and milk.  Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined (don’t over mix!).  Fold in the blueberries.

Fill the muffin tins to the top, and sprinkle with the crumb topping.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Mix together the sugar, flour, butter , and cinnamon in a food processor, with a fork, or with your hands.  You just want the mixture completely combined and crumbly.

Enjoy!!!

Last week, I shared with you all that I am now a “Savage Girl” and have just begun my journey with the program.  One aspect of the program that I love is that we have bi-weekly check-ins to really assess how things are going so that changes can be made where necessary.

Here are how things are looking after my first week:

• The eating plan is fine, I am eating 6 small meals a day.  My biggest problem is that packing for the next day takes a long time, and I snack too much while packing for the next day.  My plan to help with these problems??  I have started prepping lots of my meals on Sunday, and I will whiten my teeth while I prepare my meals for the next day. 😉

• Energy levels are pretty normal, considering I have been lacking on sleep lately.  My plan for this problem…try to get to bed earlier and truly shut my brain down.
• How I feel about my body….I think it looks the same since it has only been a week, but the scale has gone down a tad, which probably just had to do with the time of day I weighed myself (so many things affect your weight!)
• Overall:  I feel good, and ready to kick this program’s little butt!

Why Did I Join Cathy Savage Fitness

Some of you have asked why exactly I have started this program because I already enjoy eating healthy foods, I workout all the time because I enjoy it, and I am not trying to lose weight.  Those are all very valid points, but I promise that I have a method to my madness.

1. I have a very round and soft physique.  I always have.  I am ok with that, but I would like to attempt to have more muscle tone and definition.  In slang terms….I want to be “cut.”
2. I am very interested in nutrition, and I have done a lot of self research and reading on how nutrition truly effects the way the body looks (you are what you eat).  I am interested to see how these little changes that I am making my nutrition are going to effect my body’s appearance and performance.   When it comes to nutrition, everything makes a difference, and you really have to get specific…even the timing of when you eat what matters when you are trying to sculpt your body.
3. I am always looking for a new challenge, and I think that this is going to be a good, educational, fun, tough challenge for me.
4. If it is at all possible, I would like to compete in at least one body building competition next year.  Now, there are several different kinds of body building for women, and I would probably compete in the division that is the least muscular and the most feminine looking.  What can I say… I love to compete, and I love to challenge myself!! I at least have to give it a try.
5. Many people ask me questions about health, nutrition, and fitness.  I have answers to a lot of things because of my personal training education and background, personal experiences, and a lot of self-research…but I have questions too!  With the Cathy Savage program, I have my very own health coach that I can do all of the asking to, which is one aspect that I absolutely love!  I love asking questions and I love getting answers.
