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!

It's Friday, Friday!!

TGIF!!!!! This was a really short week and I am not complaining! Got my 5am workout in (legs)! Tomorrow will be my last day of Phase 1 and I can finally start Phase 2. I am beyond ecstatic!

Just wanted to do a quick shout out to some amazing ladies competing this weekend....Livefit Journey and Tosca Reno! These ladies are in amazing shape and a true inspiration to us all. They are both mothers and incredible smart and knowledgeable.  Tosca is competing in honer of her late husband Robert Kennedy. Wishing them both the best of luck and I know they will do amazing.

Many things going on this weekend! I've got my modeling class tomorrow. I am very excited to see my students since it's been 2 weeks since I last saw them. I have a casting on Sunday and Sunday night is MISS USA!! Tune in @9pm on NBC on June 3rd!!  I've already got my favorites and who I think will be taking it all.....Who do you think will take the crown???

Breakfast and Day 24 Livefit

Good Morning folks! How was everyone's weekend? Mine was amazing! I relaxed, tanned ( or actually toasted lol), and spent quality time with those I love. I sticked to my diet and never went in to grab an Oreo or potato chip. The group actually decided to go to Dairy Queen and I did not feel tempted at all, and let me tell you..... Ice cream is my weakness!!

Well today Is just another day in the life of a foodie queen! Woke up and has my oats and egg whites. As I was eating them I was watching TV, charmed to be exact, and I notice how they always seem to just have a cup of joe for breakfast! I cringe at the thought. Ever since I was a little girl my mother always made me have breakfast. Even if it was small bit it was something. She always told me "it's the most important meal of the day", she was absolutely right!

Breakfast jump starts your day. It provides you the fuel to have energy throughout the rest of your day. Many think that cutting it out will help them lose weight, but it's all the opposite! Not eating breakfast slows down your metabolism and will actually make it more difficult to lose weight. Those that slip it willies likely eat heavier on the next meal or nibble on high-calorie snacks. This can also lead to obesity in children and young adults. So the next time you want to rush out the door with just a cup of joe, remember you are doing more harm than good.

If you feel like you don't have time in the morning to make eggs and oatmeal you can make overnight oats (recipe soon) or have some protein bars already baked and ready to go.

Alrighty gonna go hit the weights today! Day 24 and I got back and no eps today. Last week of phase 1.... Can't wait to begin phase 2
