We expose our bodies to various forms of stress every day whether it be emotional, physical or environmental. A trip to the local Day Spa involves an experience most of us desire involving relaxation and stress management therapy. Treatments like an European Facial or Swedish Massage can help ease the mind, relax the body helping us feel rejuvenated and beautiful.

Now just imagine a place where you can escape the stress from your daily life through fitness and pampering! YES, that is exactly what Total Woman Gym & Day Spa has to offer! The name says it all "Total Woman", meaning they offer everything a woman desires when it comes to health and beauty. A place a woman can feel comfortable when she exercises. A place a woman can relax, be at peace, feel beautiful and let the stress from life disappear. Total Woman Gym & Day Spa offers personal training, group fitness classes, pilates, yoga, a kids club and a full service day spa that is open to the public. Whether she is a stay at home mom or career executive, she will feel like a "Total Woman" with all her fitness, health and beauty needs solved. Trust me, I know from experience!

"The minute I walked into Total Woman Gym & Day Spa in Mission Valley I was kindly greeted by Nicole, Personal Fitness Supervisor, who escorted me up stairs to the Day Spa Oasis. I was then greeted by the Spa receptionist Barbara who showed me to my looker that had a pink fluffy soft rope for me to wear during my treatments, clean slippers sandals and a towel. Once I was changed into the pink fluffy rope, I relaxed in the client room and enjoyed a refreshing tea. There I was greeted by Rebekah my massage therapist who was friendly, knowledgeable, paid close attention to my needs by asking the right questions. Rebekah treated me with a relaxing Swedish Massage with a mix of pressure point therapy. Now that I was completely relaxed, I headed over to Tricia, Spa Supervisor for my European Facial. Since this was my first experience getting a facial, Tricia gave me a personal skin analysis and guided me step-by-step me through the procedure sharing her knowledge/recommendations. Following my facial Tricia educated me on my current skin condition, a daily skin care procedure I should follow and product types I should be using day/night in a way that was professional and friendly with out a "sales-pitch". My overall experience at the Day Spa was relaxing and pleasant!"

With Fall upon us, the outside air cooling off and the sun setting earlier; comfort foods are cooking up in kitchens all over town! You know the meals our mothers and grandmothers would make when we were children that the whole family enjoyed! As usual, I am constantly putting a healthy spin to traditional favorites like this delicious recipe for Healthy Turkey Meatloaf. The man of the house will never know it is not red meat and the kids will eat it without noticing they are actually eating their vegetables. ;-)

INGREDIENTS:
1lb Lean Ground Turkey
3-4 Celery Stalks (Chopped)
1/2 White Onion (Chopped)
1/2 Red Pepper (Chopped)
2 Eggs
3/4 Cup Salsa (I used Trader Joes Roasted Garlic)
1 Tbsp Ground Mustard
2 Tbsp Spicy Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 Cup Ground Flax Seed
3/4 Cup Wheat Germ (Gluten Allergy - Sub Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs)
Season as Desired (Salt-Free Seasoning Blend, Fresh Ground Black Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Cumin)

DIRECTIONS:
Pre-Heat Oven to 350 Degrees

Mix ALL ingredients in large mixing bowl

Line baking sheet or pan (8x11 size) with foil and spray with Pam or Cooking Spray of choice.

Form 2 Loaves with Meat Mixture, place onto foil lined baking sheet. I prefer to cook my meatloaf this way so the excess grease/fat cooks out. Once you have your 2 loaves formed, top with remaining salsa. Place in oven, bake for 40-45 minutes & ENJOY!
