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

Fajita night
Needed something other than chicken and turkey tonight so decided to do steak fajita. I used top sirloin (is on Jamie's approved food list), some frozen veggies and onions. Added se braggs amino acid and voila you got a meal! I ate it with lettuce. Everyone else had corn tortillas. Yumm
This was so good and super quick and easy to make! I think I e found my new live for cooking. I guess if the modeling doesn't work out.... I could always be a chef!!! HahH

2lbs top round streak
1 bag frozen veggies of choice or fresh
Bragg amino-serving size is 1/2 tsp so add to your desire
1 tbls olive oil
Cook steak in pan, once done remove from pan and set aside. Add veggies and olive oil to pan saute until soft, add meat back in with Bragg amino. Cook for additional 5 minutes. Serve with rice or tortillas.
Protein powder
This is the shake I buy. I usually get the chocolate fudge but wanted to change it up. What's your favorite shake??
Day 18 & Muscle Soreness
Today was leg day again. Considering the fact that my legs were still sore from Monday, I felt pretty good! Am I the only person who actually gets happy that I am sore?? I love knowing that I trained hard enough that my muscles need to rebuild themselves and will grow. The soreness is actually called DOMS. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.
DOMS is caused by tiny microscopic tears that occur in the muscle as a result of high intensity exercise (such as weight training, intense cycling, etc). After the workout, the muscle begins to rebuild itself (provided it is allowed enough time and nutrients to recover). This is the rebuilding process which creates new muscle that is bigger and stronger than before. In other words, your muscles are growing. Your muscles grow when you are at rest – not when you’re at the gym.
Remember that we must always shock are bodies so that we can constantly be gaining muscle growth and that soreness....... will be back!!!
