Check out this yummy Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Soup! Katie Throne from Porky Goodness shared this awesome recipe with us! 

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower
2 leeks
1 32 oz container of chicken stock
2 garlic cloves
2 TBSP butter, salted
Olive oil 
Kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper

Prep: Cut cauliflower into florets and trim leeks. Only use the white and light green part of the leek. Thinly slice leeks and wash thoroughly and dry in a salad spinner. Mince two garlic cloves.

Directions:
1. Pre-Heat oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees. Arrange cauliflower on parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil. Toss and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes or until slightly charred. 
2. While your cauliflower is roasting, add 2 TBSP butter to a Dutch oven and let it melt. Add sliced leeks and cook on low about 15 minutes. Add your minced garlic to the leeks and stir for one minute. Add the chicken stock and cauliflower. Add 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. 
3. Let the soup simmer until cauliflower is tender enough to blend. 
4. Use a handheld immersion blender or add soup to a blender (one that is OK for hot liquid). Blend until smooth.
5. Taste! Add more salt and pepper to taste. If it isn’t thin enough for you, add a little chicken stock or water to your liking.

We are thankful to serve you in your whole body health goals. Keep showing up, giving your best for you, for today.

February Client Spotlight - Shelley Stearns 2023

Happy MindRight Monday! We hope everyone had a restful, fulfilling weekend and is ready to be INSPIRED by our February client spotlight to get into the studio, drink you water, and try a new healthy habit.

Our client spotlight embodies our February theme of Iron Sharpens Iron. Proverbs 27:17, “Iron sharpens iron, so one personal sharpens another.”

Incredible Client Spotlight

Shelley Stearns
 

We are so excited to spotlight our first TransFit Oconee client—Shelley Stearns! “For years, I  have passed Shelley countless times walking these country roads on my way home.  Even on freezing cold winter mornings, Shelley would be bundled up walking! She  would inspire me then to bundle up and soak in the sunshine and get my own steps in! 

I didn’t know Shelley well then, but I knew one thing — she is consistent! She is also  motivated! She strives to be healthy, to serve her family with love, and she honors her  body through movement. I was thrilled when she came to try out the new Oconee studio. She is always up to try new exercises, to step out of her comfort zone, to go the  few extra reps and try a slight heavier weight! I am so proud of her progress! Week after  week, she prioritizes her workouts — even if that means getting in a strength workout at  5:30 am!”

Shelley, what an inspiration you are to your family and to so many women in our  community, including me. I am grateful for her commitment to whole-body health, and it  has brought me so much joy watching her get stronger each workout at TransFit  Oconee! 

You will see in her pictures that Shelley and her husband Dave have a beautiful family!  Not only do I get the honor of training her, but also a few of her daughters as well! Just  another example of how we are all stronger together!! Katie Woodall, TransFit Oconee

Words from Shelley

“I began working out at TransFit Oconee in October. I have always exercised; my mom  modeled exercise as being important when I was growing up. I had just gotten out of the  habit of strength training when Covid-19 hit. As I was getting older, I wanted to be strong  for my family...especially as more grandchildren were entering our world. I also realized  that as I was approaching my mid 50s, it was easier to gain 5 pounds and harder to take  it off. So, besides gaining strength, I wanted to lose a few pounds. 

I have always enjoyed the camaraderie of exercise. Meeting new women, developing  friendships with them, and encouraging each other has been something I've enjoyed  over the years. When I first started TransFit, pushups were impossible! My goal was to  be able to do just one. I'm thankful to have reached that goal and more! Katie has been such an  encouragement to me and very patient with me when I can't remember from one set to  another how to do the exercise. Adding TransFit to my weekly routine has been  relatively easy for me because by nature I am a fairly consistent person who thrives on  routine. I regularly go to TransFit 3 times a week. Besides TransFit, I have enjoyed  walking with friends over the years as a form of exercise. 

After my first baby was born (when I gained over 60 pounds and she was only 6  pounds, 5 ounces), a friend put me on a walking weight loss plan. I knew if I didn't lose my weight quickly, I probably never would. So within 3 months of giving birth, I was back  to my pre-pregnancy weight. 

My husband and I have six biological children and one adopted son. In 2011, we moved  to Zambia, Africa for a year to serve Christ on the mission field. We were able to do this  because at the time we were homeschooling all of our children and my husband was  self-employed and able to leave the business for 13 months. While there we met,  fostered, and adopted our son, Samson. My greatest blessing has been the privilege of  raising these 7 children alongside my husband, Dave, to be warriors for Christ. Through  the ups and the downs, we believe that our responsibility is to show our children what  an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ looks like and to pray that they would love  Jesus and want to serve Him with their life. 

Being healthy is important to both Dave and me. We try and eat healthy (mostly at  home) and exercise. I love homemaking....cooking, cleaning, sewing, reading...so  having supper around the dinner table was a normal occurrence for our children.”

Shelley, You are an inspiration and encouragement to us in so many ways! We are so proud of your dedication to whole body health and wellness for God’s glory! You sharpen us all! We celebrate you!
