Another Substitution Tip: Try Almond Butter instead of Peanut Butter
If you're ever in the mood for peanut butter (I am not referring to natural peanut butter, but rather, Skippy or Jif) give almond butter a try. It has the same amount of calories, the same amount of fat, but only half the grams of saturated fat, less sugar, fewer carbohydrates (including more fiber), eight times the amount of calcium, and double the iron! It is actually very tasty!

Exercise Tip of the Day
Vary your Reps/Sets for Greater Results
I know I posted an information article a little while ago on Reps and Sets explaining how different reps and sets help to achieve different goals. One thing that is helpful to do is to vary your reps and sets as you workout. For example, since Coach K and I have now been working out for 4 weeks, we just increased from 2x10 to 3x15. This will help us to increase our endurance and tone. After another few weeks, we are going to change our reps and sets again (and our workouts as well!). Varying things up keeps our muscles "guessing," and doesn't get them "used" to doing the same thing all the time! Try something new today!
