Grilled Shrimp “Souvlaki”

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided, plus additional for brushing grill
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
3/4 cup low-fat Greek yogurt, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced and divided
2 cucumbers (about 1 pound)
Black pepper, to taste
1 pint cherry tomatoes (about 1/2 pound)
1 small red onion, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick rings
4 whole-grain flatbreads
8 small romaine leaves (optional)

Preparation
1. Preheat grill.

2. Rinse shrimp, and pat dry. Stir together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon oil, and 1 tablespoon each dill and oregano in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp, and toss to combine. Marinate, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.

3. Stir together 1/4 cup yogurt, half of garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon dill in a serving bowl. With a vegetable peeler, cut cucumbers into lengthwise ribbons, discarding the largely seeded core. Toss cucumber ribbons with yogurt mixture and pepper, to taste.

4. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup yogurt with remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon dill, and remaining garlic in a small serving bowl for raita sauce. Season with pepper, to taste.

5. Toss tomatoes and onion with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a bowl. Grill shrimp with tomatoes and onion in a lightly oiled well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or grill pan, turning once, 5 minutes or until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, tomatoes are softened, and onion is golden brown and tender. Transfer to a plate; cover and keep warm.

6. Grill flatbread until golden brown and slightly crisp. Transfer to 4 serving plates; top evenly with cucumber salad, shrimp, onions, tomatoes, and romaine, if desired. Serve with raita sauce.

Change your habits…INSTEAD!

Inspiration Never Stops To Enjoy Another’s Downfall (INSTEAD)

Nothing about fitness is easy:
Choosing to use the stairs instead of the elevator.
Choosing to wake up early to hit the gym instead of staying up late partying.
Choosing to double down on salad instead of leaving room for dessert.
Choosing to be sore instead of being blissfully pain-free…
The list goes on forever… Doing something HARD instead of something EASY. Following your ideals and sticking to your guns instead of submitting to the masses. With all of this in mind, we personal trainers have some serious work ahead of us. It is our job to make the impossible possible for some. While for others, we give to them that little extra that makes them extraordinary. We look at all of those “insteads” and we make them a reality. In a world where health and wellness are thrown to the side to make room for ease and convenience, I am glad I chose the path I did.
I chose to inspire others instead of stifle them.
I chose to help instead of harm.
I chose to motivate change in others instead of perpetuate toxicity.
I chose to put myself on the front lines of the War on Weight and fight for what I believe in instead of sit on my booty and watch those around me fail.
I chose THIS instead of that… and so can you.

Keep it fierce! Kyle
