About Me

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I'm a fitness devotee and food fanatic! I have the biggest sweet tooth on this Earth! However, as much as I wish I can drown myself in a snicker doodle cupcake, my body just isn't that forgiving. I am a professional model, and beauty queen (hence the foodie queen, hehe) who recently graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. Because of the industry I'm in, you can only imagine the type of diets I've been on. It has affected my body incredibly which has led me to discovering "Clean Eating". Thanks to Jamie Eason, I have seen the results people have had with her Livefit trainer so I decided to do the program and start a blog to share my journey and encourage others to live a clean and healthy lifestyle!

TGIF

Woo hoo!!! The weekend is here!! What is everyone doing this weekend? 


I know life gets a little crazy on the weekends and we are not on a set schedule like we are  during the week but remember to always make clean, healthy choices!


Always carry an apple, a ziploc bag with some alomonds, or protein bar so that you can snack on whenever hunger strikes! Remember we must eat at least 5-6x a day. The weekend is usually the hardest time for everyone but remember to stay focused! Consistency is key!! Do not waste everything you have worked so hard for during the week.


Remember: It's ok to splurge a little. Go out on a date and have a glass of wine and maybe some dessert, you can just pick up where you left off the next day!

Day 11 of LiveFit: shoulders & abs

Today I will be doing my workout at home. First, because my gym gets super packed at this time and you spend more time waiting around for a machine than you do actually using it. Second, there are never enough dumbells for the amount of people that go to my gym and people seem to be taking the weights because they alwys seem to disappear. Lastly, it's raining out and I really don't wanna leave an d I have all the equipment I need here at home!

3x12 front delt raise
3x12 side lateral raise
3x12 seated bent over fly
3x12 exercise ball crunch

Healthy Fried Rice

Just made this "Healthy Fried Rice" and can I say its really good! I don't think you'll be missing the real thing anytime soon.

I basically just put

- some chopped up mushrooms
-a handful of brocolli slaw (you can buy it at publix near the lettuce)
- put in some brown rice (already cooked) not really sure how much, just put it in whatever I had left
- about 2 tsp of garlic powder
-2tsp onion powder
- 1tsp paprike( to give it that fried rice color
- 1 tbsp coconut oil

I just mixed it all in there for about 5 minutes or until warm all around.....and done!!

I will be having 1/2c of the rice with a can of tuna tomorrow for lunch

Let me know if anyone tries this!!

New Goodies

Got these samples in the mail and I can not wait to try them


Any good recipes for me to try with the protein powder??

What's your favorite pp?

    I must say I was a bit hesitant at first to start since there is NO CARDIO for the first four weeks, but I am happy to say I am actually enjoying the time off cardio. Yes I am one of those cardio junkies you see at the gym. Don't get me wrong, I love lifting but I just feel cardio will help me lose weight! However, I have seen some results from people who have done LiveFit to the tee and well all I can see is...WOW MOMMA!!!
