YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE!

I’ve never accepted anyone’s excuse as to why they are not currently living in a vibrant and healthy body, and to be honest, I see right through all of the excuses I get!

The best thing that I can do for anyone who wants to improve their health is to NOT accept any excuses

My biggest reason for not accepting any excuses is because there is always someone out there who is going through exactly what you are and they are still achieving fat loss success. And I guarantee that there are thousands of people out there who are worse off than you are, and they too have been able to achieve fat loss success.

Now I’ve got an even bigger reason for not accepting any excuses…

If you’ve been following my blog for any time you would have noticed that I have been documenting my journey towards getting in fabulous shape for my wedding! My reason for this is #1 to hold myself accountable, #2 To inspire others to take action, and #3 to prove to you that many programs out there really do work when you put forth your very best efforts.

I followed and documented my journey  everyday.....in four months I dropped 14 pounds, and guess what!! I am still working hard, because once you reach your goal, you have to keep going..... I now have new goals and new things on my body I would like to focus on..... I am sure you can look in t he mirror and pick out a few things to work on yourself!

Your body is your temple! You only get one chance! Look great while you can, but more importantly, Take care of yourself! From the inside out~! MIND BODY AND SPIRIT~!

LOVE YOURSELF!

I put forth my best effort. I didn’t strive for perfection, I just did the best that I could and I achieved phenomenal results.

If you haven't noticed, I am going above and beyond to get you to recognize that you are capable of greatness! I am stepping up to the plate as your trainer, friend, motivator and role model~!

Empower your mind and your body will follow!

Don't forget that September marks the 14 day challenge! Get your mind ready NOW! Let me know you are in! WHat have you got to lose besides a few extra BBQ pounds!

I will be posting my new nutrition plan as well as some new fabulous workouts I have been doing! Remember, fall and winter you BUILD MUSCLE, spring and summer you are lean, tight and looking hot in your skirts, shorts and most of all  your BIKINI!!!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT (Perspective)...When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jarwas full. They agreed it was.The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything els e. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions--and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else--the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first--the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.

I recently came across an article that talked about the top 7 foods to make you look younger.

More specifically, consuming these foods will fight wrinkles.

So here are the top 7.

Best for softening skin...

• Pomegranates

Best for smoothing fine lines...

• Blueberries

• Kale and Spinach

Best for reducing redness...

• Cold-Water Fish

Best for diminishing brown spots...

Eat right and look younger.

It's as simple as that.

Who knows, your new younger look may just be a spoonful away.

THE 10 HOTTEST SUPERFOODS FOR SUMMER:

Amalaki Berry: Also known as the “Indian gooseberry,” this edible fruit from the Amalaki tree has been prescribed by Tibetan healers and Indian herbalists to combat digestive problems detoxify and rejuvenate the body for centuries. A potent Ayurvedic herb, Amalaki, in its purest form, has a distinct sour/bitter, astringent taste but antioxidant-rich extracts are available in pill, powder, and (better-tasting) liquid form.

Rooibos: Also known as red tea, Rooibos is on its way to becoming 2008’s tea of the year. South Africans and health experts have been drinking it for generations and now US companies like Celestial Seasons and Republic of Tea are bringing it to a mass level. The caffeine-free tea is reputed to have 50% more antioxidants than green tea, making it somewhat of a miracle brew. Expect to see more beauty products that use red tea as a primary anti-aging ingredient.

Coco H2O: Especially popular among gym rats and yogis, potassium- and electrolyte-packed coconut water is stealing thirsty consumers away from trendy energy drinks and sports beverages. We’re seeing a growing number of health-conscious consumers flock to the refrigerated section of stores such as Whole Foods to pick up coconut water by brands such as Zico and VitaCoco.

Collagen Cuisine: While most might associate collagen with needles and pillowy lips, New York City’s Hakata TonTon boasts collagen as the latest haute cuisine. Owner Himi Okajima focuses on a collagen-rich menu by utilizing tonsoku, a popular Japanese dish of pig’s feet favored by skin conscious women. Modeled after Himiyabi, his tonsoku restaurant in Japan, the menu features 40+ dishes including items such as spring rolls, pasta, and traditional Korean casseroles.

Chokeberry: It may not have the most appealing of names, but the chokeberry (aka Aronia) is the latest superfruit making its way into our diets. High in Vitamin C and antioxidants, the chokeberry (which gets its name from its bitter taste) is just beginning to appear on health food store shelves in the form of juice and jam.

Probiotics: The latest buzz word in healthy eating, probiotics, or foods packed with live bacteria beneficial to digestive health, have finally picked up speed here in the States. Long popular in Europe, Americans are finally catching on to the probiotic trend, looking to naturally healing foods in favor of popping a pill for fixing health related issues. While most probiotics fit into the dairy category, including Dannon’s Activia yogurt (which jumpstarted the trend), Probugs Organic Whole Milk Kefir, and the soon-to-hit-shelves Stonyfield Farms energy drink Shift, non-dairy items have emerged as well, including Kashi Vive cereal, and Attune granola bars.

Hemp Milk: No longer confined to head shops and hippie threads, hemp products are generating major buzz in the food industry as the next dairy alternative. Made from ground hemp seeds, hemp milk boasts high levels of protein, omega fatty acids, amino acids, and a slew of vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, iron, and GLS (Gamma-Linolenic Acid), a substance which claims to fight cancer, inflammation, and auto immune disease.

Goji berries: These “super fruit” berries are also becoming a hit among consumers who not only love them for their nutritional factor---they are known for their high antioxidant, vitamin c, and iron content---but also for their aphrodisiac factor. They have become wildly popular in the EU where they are marketed as the “fruit Viagra”, and as a result the EU is attempting to ban the sale of them. Not just an edible, goji berries are also becoming an innovative new “it” ingredient for the beauty industry, as seen in products such asSmashbox O-Glow Microcirculating Cheek Color with Goji Berry-C Complex, which is an “intuitive blush” that reacts to the wearer’s skin to give the perfect natural flush.

Kombucha: Made by fermenting a mixture of bacteria and yeast cultures, black tea and sugar, this chinese tea has been gaining popularity amongst health foodies, celebs and the media. Devotees claim that it cures a myriad of health problems while also offering general detoxification, a sense of well-being and extended lifespan. While we’ve heard that trendsetting extremists grow their own bacteria spores in jars, it is fast becoming the newest “it” ingredient of commercial brands and retailers.

acai: The latest “it” ingredient to hit the market, acai is an anti-oxidant rich berry that claims to boost energy and immunity and moderate cholesterol levels. Its taste is described as a unique berry flavor, with a hint of grape and a dash of chocolate. Usually found in juice form, acai has become a very popular smoothie ingredient and is a main additive in the AMAZING Mona Vie (ask Tina).

My personal fitness goal.

For those of you who know and don't know...I just got married on Sunday! I am a BLUSHING bride who is sooo happy! With that being said.....I have been working really hard on LOSING some bulky muscle I had from working out really heavy with the weights and eating lots of complex carbs. ALl good right? I was eating 6 times a day, lots of protein(about 200 grams per day) and around 200 grams of carbs (oats, brown rice and yams). When I tell you I was as strong as most men in the gym, it's no exaggeration! Well, back in March, I decided I wasn't going to compete in figure competitions any longer, and why did I need all this muscle? My goal was to go from 131lbs to 117lbs by the time I got married...... Well, guess what! I succeeded. How-you ask? Being a nutrition GURU, I sat down and designed my OWN meal plan. I mapped out my own workouts and never looked back. I am not tooting my own horn, and those who really know me, know I am as humble as they come and I am just me, but I get complements everywhere I go because of how lean I have gotten over the past 4 months! When I tell you it was hard, I mean it was really hard. I have two children who love Italian home cooked meals, I have a husband who LOVES healthy complex carbs with his meals and friends and family who love to eat out....I just kept saying to myself that I can do it! If you are interested in what I ate, please email me. iluvfitness@gmail.com I can design a meal plan for you too!

Now that I am so lean and small, I need to remain tight and hard...but not masculine. I love having curves and so does my husband! He just told me today that after 6 years, he has NEVER seen me look so great! That's a compliment. SO, how to I stay firm? I am in the gym a lot! I do NOT do cardio, except for some stadium stairs, lots of jump rope and maybe some biking.....but since I don't have bodyfat or calories to burn, I don't need so much cardio. Here is an example of my weekly routine:

Monday- chest, shoulders, triceps and ABS!

Tuesday- 30 minutes of cardio intervals (stadium stairs)
ABS!

Wednesday- LEGS!

Thursday- Back, biceps and ABS!

Friday- 30 minute cardio intervals (stairs)
superset, abs, legs and shoulders (light weights, high reps)

Saturday-
biceps , triceps and ABS!

Sunday- 20 minutes cardio intervals
Back.


NOw I bet you wonder what I eat on a daily basis.... Before I tell you..understand that what works for me will NOT always work for someone else. Each of us has different needs, goals and desires..... Before you try to do what I do, talk to me first!

I am going to tell you what I ate today..
on my way to work... grande black coffee, drop of skim.
When I woke up this morning, I was 118.2lbs and 19% bodyfat..... a pound up from last week, but take into consideration your body water fluctuates up and down daily, so I am NOT worried....
My new goal is 115lbs by August 13th (honeymoon) and 17% bodyfat.

Meal one: 8am
2 whole Omega-3 eggs
chopped orange peppers (about 1/4 cups)
chopped scallions (about 3 tbsp)
pepper

Meal two: 10:00 am
Medium grapefruit

Meal three: 12:30pm (pre workout)
2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
8 asparagus steamed spears
2 cups chopped broccoli
4 jumbo grilled shrimp
lemon juice
1 tablespoon flax oil

Meal four: 3:30 (post-workout)
1 small peach

then at 4:00 I had
2 oz turkey breast off the bird
drank a kombucha (green lovin)

Meal 5: 7:30pm
4 oz ground turkey
diced tomatoes
broccoli (2 cups)
onions & garlic (2 tbsp)

Before bed, I will drink my Meditropin....


How was your day? Did you eat right? Workout? Stay active, positive and happy??
