Secret
to Success
If you can get up the courage to begin, you have the
courage to succeed.
Begin where you are, work where you are. The hour which
you are now wasting, dreaming of some far off success,
may be crowded with grand possibilities.
The first essential of success is that you begin.
Once you have started, all that is within and without
you will come to your assistance.
Do not wait. The time will never be "just right."
Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you
have at your command. Better tools will be found
as you go along.
Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Sesame-Ginger Frittata with Broccoli and Shrimp
Makes:
4 servings
Ingredients:
2 cups ½-inch pieces of broccoli florets
2 or 3 scallions, trimmed and freshly chopped
1 cup finely chopped red onion
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
5 ounces peeled cooked shrimp, cut into ½-inch pieces
(about 1 ½ cups)
¾ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
4 large egg whites
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 small garlic clove, minced
½ teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
½ teaspoon sugar
½ cup fat-free, reduced sodium chicken broth
Canola oil spray
Direction:
In a medium bowl, combine the broccoli, scallions,
onion, bean sprouts, shrimp, sesame oil, and pepper. In
another bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, and flour for
about 2 minutes, until the lumps are almost gone. Pour
this over the vegetable mixture, mix well with a fork,
and set it aside.
Preheat the broiler.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch into the 1
tablespoon cold water to dissolve and place it near the
stove. In a small pan, bring the soy sauce, vinegar,
garlic, ginger, sugar and broth to a boil over medium
heat. Stir the cornstarch mixture, pour it into the hot
liquid, and whisk 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce is
thick and translucent.
Coat a large, ovenproof, nonstick skillet with canola
oil spray. Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Stir
the egg and vegetable mixture and pour it into the
skillet, smoothing the mixture into an even layer. Cook
for about 4 minutes, until the eggs are set and the
bottom is browned. Place the skillet under the broiler
for about 2 minutes, until the top is browned and the
center is almost dry.
Loosen the frittata from the skillet with a spatula and
slide it onto a serving dish. Cut the frittata into
quarters and serve with the warm sauce spooned over the
wedges.

Jump Rope Workout
Jumping rope is a great cardiovascular exercise. It's
one of the foundations of a boxer's conditioning
program, and you've got to be in shape to box. The
tennis champ Jimmy Connors used to skip rope as part of
his conditioning routine.
Wear supportive cross-trainers, tennis or basketball
shoes while skipping rope. Running shoes won't give you
enough forefoot support and are not intended for
bouncing on the balls of your feet. Avoid jumping on
concrete, floors laid over concrete, and other hard
surfaces like tile. If you don't have a springy wooden
or carpeted floor, place a thin exercise mat on whatever
surface you do have and jump on that.
Muscle Groups worked in a Jump Rope Workout
Jumping rope will seriously work every muscle in the
body. I'm convinced that it will expose your weak links.
After your first jump rope workout, you will be sore in
many different parts of your body. Jumping rope will
help you in your quest to get super-ripped abs. Your
core really gets worked hard since you have to use your
abs to stabilize your entire body to help you propel
your body through the air.
