it's all about patience.

Hello,
Results do not happen overnight. Don't expect crazy amounts of muscle in one week or even one month. You can starve yourself and lose weight in one month but what good does that do if your bond to gain it right back plus interest! Hard work equals amazing results. Eat right ..put in the gym time and you will see slow progress BUT your results will not go away as fast. your body keeps burning fat if you introduce it to a cardio or weight training routine. A magic pill does not exist...a real commitment does. Live Healthy! :)

Don't fit into the clothes.. Make clothes fit your body.

Hello everyone,

Yes we all know clothes are hard to find if your battling with weight loss.. Or even if you gained muscle and now your previous pieces fit tighter. The way to approach this situation is to clear your mind of societies skinny image. If your a bit overweight and your putting in the work to Become a healthier individual then embrace your body throughout your journey. Dont Expect to lose tons of weight overnight.
Those that do .. Gain it back plus interest. believe me ... When you work out constantly and you do lose weight it will stay off! your body will burn it as you go on from day to day.

Set you free. Put in the time... Workout... Eat clean... Your body will

Make the commitment that you will be proud of and will give you a positive habit. Train mean .. Eat clean. Don't give up.. I'm here for ya!

NEVER A DIET....ONLY A LIFESTYLE!

Hello,

Good healthy eating is a part of every fitness plan. I don't believe in the word "diet" that to me doesn't exist. The minute we feel we're on a diet we worry too much about "how much we've lost" or "if my pants fit good"
DO NOT set yourself up for future failure! Think of your journey as a lifestyle. Just live!!! Eat good everyday & workout 3 times a week if you can. Don't aim for a size zero! Just maintain a healthy habit by eating more veggies and drinking more water. Healthy comes in ALL shapes and sizes. YOU
Know if your eating right or not. Make
the commitment to a healthier lifestyle... That's my mentality. Enjoy your life without the negativity the word diet brings you.
If you plan on parting with some Lb's then just eat healthy.. And work out ..cardio is amazing:)

Live free ... Live healthy ;)

Grilled chicken
Fresh spinach, grilled green onions,1/2 avocado, granola clusters & green grapes for sweetness.

Nothing fancy .. Just simple :)

Stay on track!

Hello,

Giving up is NOT an option...the meaning of commitment is in you. Commit to healthy... Commit to change! Change is good. Whispers in your ears will tell you to give up.... Negative comments will make you think you CAN'T...But the Drive within you will keep you on track. this is not as easy as it seems... It's hard... It will take time. Results will only be as good as your determination. I've said it before and ill preach it again... "Don't aim for a size... Aim for a healthier you"
A wonderful fitness journey awaits you!

Cook your meals!!

Hello everyone,

One of the best ways to ease your way into a healthier meal planning is to cook your own meals. Plan ahead! If you make it a point to pack your lunch you will be less tempted to go to a drive thru. If your barely easing into this whole process then start by packing your lunch just two days out of the week. Plus this will save you tons of money! We all need a little extra during the holidays so it will definitely save you some green! By packing your lunch during the week you will enjoy your cheat meal a lot more by the weekend. The truth is you don't have to completely change your life .. Just adapt slowly and before you know it ... You will be packing your lunch everyday. Save money and gain a healthier routine. Sounds like a sweet deal to me!

Grilled chicken .. Use mrs. Dash.
Garden mix (available at walmart)Add sliced green apples..sun dried cherries..blueberry granola clusters. Optional- top with raspberry merlot dressing for an extra kick.

Rise above the negative

Hello there,

Standing tall when others are trying to bring you down is very hard. Whatever your dreams are in life don't give up. My journey is only possible if I have a positive view on life. Reaching out to those that may need a little motivation is what I do. You can make a huge difference if you support someone else's dreams or short term
Goals. We've all had our share of the ugly negativity .. Lets cut that chain reaction and change it up.

Get out there and stay motivated :) make the change for healthy today ! Start your week off with a goal and go from there. Don't stress over your weight... It's how "you feel" what is important here. Having positive influence is key. Family and friends have a tremendous effect in the things we do in life. Enjoy your life and "look at your glass half full.. Rather than half empty." Xoxo!

Snack time!

Hello,

We've all had those moments when were craving something sweet or crunchy? Well I have the perfect little snack for you! When choosing your mid-day snack make sure to always have fruits on hand! I personally always have strawberries & granola in my kitchen. You can also use green apples and they serve as sweet sandwich patties! make sure to try new things and eat what is clean and good for you. Obsessing about your weight is not going to help you ... But eating healthy meals as well as snacks makes you look at your fitness journey in a whole new light. We need to feed our bodies and as doing so we need to feel good about it. Surprise yourself with a little homemade healthy snack... You just might like it!

Peanut butter

how important is a workout partner ?

Hello!

How important is a workout partner? some will laugh at this and say this is nonsense. I can tell you right here and right now that it is not! let me paint a picture for you all...how many times do you all go to a gym and see two woman or men workout together and while doing so they are conversing between reps? Its all mental people..sometimes we need that in our lives to move forward.  It feels great to leave the stress at the door and workout with a friend. I know this because that's how i have continued to learn from others that strive for the same results as i do! the best part is that it could be anyone you want! it could be your mom, your friend, your cousin, your aunt..anyone!

Once you have done it for so long you will be able to continue it alone. A whole bunch of people laugh at this but its so true! We all like to share our workouts with one another and if you attended a class that makes you sweat ..its awesome when you get to do it all over again with that special person!

All in all ..its all about SUPPORT! If its support and motivation in the flesh you desire than find your partner and start now. Many times woman and men who haven't worked out in so long, start better with a partner. This is true!!

Emotional support is important! if your husband or wife constantly puts you down and doesn't believe in you than its sweet to have a friend that does. We all need the confirmation that our hard work will eventually pay off!  it has been heard that spouses that don't believe in you because they are afraid to start the journey themselves and once they see change..hold you back by putting you down. Positive influence starts at home as well.  If anything is golden its a friend or loved one that will be your partner and continue the journey towards a healthier lifestyle with you.  whomever you choose..make it consistent. design a plan that will best suit your goals and go for the gold...don't settle for 2nd place when it comes to your life!!!  Get up and look for that support system and once you find it ...you will be  glad you did!   "Birds of a feather ..workout together!"

Control Holiday pounds!

Hello,

The holidays are sneaking up on us and we all know what that means... Tons of food... Food ... And more food!! Is this good ? Is this bad? Does it matter?

Well... I can agree with both. Let me just say that our minds control what we eat! Yes.. It's mental. So if you plan on eating a huge holiday meal well that's ok... As long as you know when to stop and when to not ask for 2 or 3 more servings just because your grazing!

We have all blamed the holidays for our extra weight gain....And we should! that pie didnt taste so good because it was made out of fiber and oats people! we all know that the bad stuff taste ssooo good!

This is when you should take into consideration a little thing called "portion control!"  If your going to eat a huge meal than work for it. Dont treat everyday likes it the LAST SUPPER...ok so lets see where people go wrong? hmmmm ...yup i know! Its called a little bit of self control. By controling your appetite you can control the amount of weight you gain.  how???? well take for instance a simple week....start on a monday and challenge yourself to eat 3 clean meals throughout your day and drink plenty of water. Do this everyday and you will achieve a new love for healthy eating. SO when the holidays come around you can say no to when your already full! Its not about stuffing your face with food....its about enjoying the holiday meals and knowing when to stop. Many of us say..oh ill just start after the holidays but why not before? too hard? imgine how much you can conquer in the months leading up to the holidays :)

dont think i wont be eating at my families holidays meals...i will...the only difference is i will know my limit.  your body is your temple ... dont fill it up with too much junk....keep it clean :) it is possible !

Steak & salad

Hello there!

Dinner is important.... plan your meals before the week begins. Don't settle
For takeout ... Cooking is easy and fun. It also is a lot healthier than drive thru. If you want to have a cheat meal than plan it for once a week ... Not every night of the week. In the end you will be glad you did. We have enough with the holidays coming up... You can load up then... For now, keep it simple... Eat clean and give yourself & your whole family the gift of healthy eating :)

Grilled steak ... Season with "mrs.dash"

Do it for you!!!!

Hello everyone!

Why work out? Why sweat? Why join a gym? Why workout at home? Well we all know why..... Because its healthy and you know it will pay off in the end. Personal goals are amazing! How many times do we say " Im
Happy with myself" but inside your
Just Lying to yourself. No one is perfect.... The word perfect is not in my vocabulary! BUT the word "healthy" is!! You know exactly what it takes to feel good about yourself. You know that when your active your self esteem boosts by 100! Why put people down that workout? Why be negative when others want to loose 10 pounds for themselves! If you don't want to ... It's ok to look away.. BUT if you want to start its never too late! Make it a goal to be active with your children... Make it a goal to walk around the park... Your yard... Your block. No one says the only way to work out is at a gym. There are plenty of places to do it. The feeling of a healthy lifestyle is priceless. If I've reached out to you ... And made you a bit more active .. Then I'm honored to have done so:)

Your goals doesn't have to be those
Of a fitness model's....But
Of a healthier woman or man. With time you will notice the difference and you will motivate others in your family as well to do the same.
Take this time to really think about the decisions you have made. Don't blame your busy lifestyle as a way to hide from eating healthy. If you don't have time to work out .. You have to time to at least eat healthier. If you buy your own groceries ... You know your in control of what you eat. You have what it takes.... You know what it takes... Make the commitment ... You will love the results:)
Your healthier lifestyle awaits!

Believe in yourself!!!!

Hello! I was once the girl that looked down while others made fun of her. i was once the girl that was ashamed to give light to the problems I was dealing with. Now I'm the girl that stands up and motivates others to not give up on themselves! Do not become the woman or man that follows. Stay true to yourself and believe in yourself. Positive energy is always within your reach... Discard the negative and believe in yourself. If you want a more healthier lifestyle ... Do it! If you want something so bad .. It can be achieved. Hard work pays off. No matter what others may say ... Self image is huge. Don't work towards a stick figure society look! Work towards a healthier lifestyle... In the end you will love every inch of it. No one is built the same way so If you want to loose 5lbs or even 40lbs... It's what makes YOU happy. Always believe in yourself.... I believe in you and that's something you can count on:)

Know your huevos(eggs) !!!

Hello everyone!

Did you know eggs are one of the best protein sources on the planet! Eggs score higher in their protein category .. Higher than milk,beef,whey and soy!

Eggs yolk is actually really good for us.. I usually avoid egg yolk because its high in cholesterol. But It's safe to say yolk IS in fact good for us because after some research i found out that choline which is found inside the egg yolk actually helps prevent the accumulation of cholesterol and fat in the liver!! Wow!!! who would of thought! While I'm not going to stay away completely from my egg whites ..it's good to know egg yolk is good for you! I'll be eating my whole eggs every other day.!! A well balance between yolk and no yolk works for me :)

Another egg-citing tip from me
To you !

You are what you eat???

Hello everyone! Yes i said it "you are what you eat!"  No food in your body all day...just water..maybe a cracker .....makes you a "skinny" weightless individual that conforms to "society skinny" its true..lets admit it.  THIN IS NOT ALWAYS IN PEOPLE!  so by bringing this subject up..what makes a girl or boy turn to a NO FOOD kind of diet? well for starters ..social exceptance can make people do some crazy things. We take things  out on ourselves for the damge we are trying to repair in our own lives. A no food diet is self destructive and leads to death. your worth more..you derserve to live and not to conform. you are what you eat and if you DONT eat..you are nothing..sad to say but its true.

lets take the sugar chompin over eaters...okay so you do eat..and it shows. you are what you eat. A huge mcdonalds meal with a side of fries...and thats ok if it were in moderation..but some eat just to eat.  depression can lead many to open the fridge late at night or even sneak food. WHY? well i believe its a mental issue as well. Take control of yourselves and start today.

what im trying to get at everyone is that food is our friend...take it for what it is.

Portobello mushroom BBQ chicken burger!

Ssooo good! Who said you can't have a Biggo chicken burger??

I wanted to eat a burger minus the guilty feeling ... So.. I put this little baby together! It's so good! I hope you all like it ! Yum!

Grilled chicken breast
Add some pepper to the chicken and place some green onions on top!

Once your chicken is cooked .. Pour a tablespoon of your fave BBQ Sauce.. In this case I used a low fat low sodium BBQ sauce :) Let it simmer really good!

Next grill the portobello mushrooms. With some olive oil and let them warm up a bit .. Don't leave them
In their to long .

Here comes the fun part!!

Make a burger! Add tomato and even avocado if you would like ..

I grilled asparagus on the side for my "French fry effect" lol an some brown rice :)

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone likes it! ;) healthy is beautiful!

Multigrain pancakes & waffle mix!!

Omg!! I've just had the best little pancakes ever! By the way .. I've always been a "no thank you I don't eat pancakes" kind of girl... BUT these were so good and not to mention much better than regular mixes out there in my opinion. I'm sure there are thousands of wheat pancake mixes out but so far I found the ones that I like best! I've attached a pic of the brand and also my little
Morning pancake.. I dont
Like using syrup so what do I do?? How do I break that habit?? Use strawberries,
Bananas or berries for
Sweetness! Try it.. Come on... What do you have to lose?:)
