Snack Bites
Oh My Treat! Just one or two of these little healthy bites are enough to satisfy that sweet tooth. Sweetened with dates and honey and a little protein from peanut butter...it is great for a quick little energy burst before a workout.

The Latest and Greatest from TruPrevention

Hey Everyone!

We know it’s been pretty quiet here….but we haven’t run away.  Ohhhh noooo…we’re just getting started!  Right now, we are just working on developing TruPrevention into a future business, among keep up with our daily crazy lives.  Mandy is in the middle of moving (so excited for her) and we are both keeping up with families and full time work….so needless to say we would like a couple extra hours in the day to catch up with everything. I did update the Handy Information and Recipe sections recently.  So, please check it out.

As far as the business, we are just finishing the TruPrevention Logo.  A HUGE thank you to Cassie Rangel!  This gal has some serious talent.  She has been working with me on the logo for the last couple months and has done a wonderful job of taking my woeful descriptions and turning them into a visible concept.  Keep an eye out….you’ll see this girls work in a gallery one day!

So, thank you for you patience and understanding.  We might be a bit slow on the information download over the next month, but don’t despair it will pick back up.

And if you have any thoughts or suggestions feel free to send them to donna.hoffmeyer@truprevention.com.  All constructive thoughts and ideas welcomed!

Respectfully,

Donna

Warm-Up…Or Pay The Painful Price

Hey Everyone,

From time to time TruPrevention will have guest bloggers.  These are experts in their field that have been kind to share their professional knowledge with all of you.  Our first guest blogger is Dr. Jessica Leach.  She received her Bachelor’s in Athletic Training and Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Central Arkansas.  Currently she works as an Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapist at OrthoArkansas in North Little Rock, AR.  I met Jessica when she was a graduate assistant at UCA and am very excited to have her take time out of her hectic schedule to talk about the importance of warming up.  With no further ado, I’ll let her take it away…

Humans…An Amazing Race.

My family and I are on a mini vacation camping in Corpus Christi (thank goodness the pop-up came with ac!).  We decided to take the kiddos to see the USS Lexington, a WWII aircraft carrier nicknamed the “Blue Ghost” because the Japanese Navy reported it had sunk the ship…on four separate occasions.  Talk about resilient!
