morning bootcamp, 1/2 cup of oatmeal with flax seed, blueberries and a few slices of pineapple.. water with lemon and emergen-c-! 93.5 radio station..it's a good Wed. so far :-)!

Followed by some Green tea, and raw nuts.. yum yum!!

It is Tuesday March 30th and last night was Passover.. I went to dinner feeling strong and able to eat super Healthy.. but after going through the whole service, I was HUNGRY and Matzah took over and one thing led to the next, potatoes, Yams, meat, and even desert! Ok.. so I was feeling so hot after BUT I was at least able to stop myself when I was full.. I figured as long as I keep it super healthy today and work out and continue to.. I should make up for up.. just in time for my 2nd Passover on Friday..

For those of you who sit at a computer all day and feel sluggish around 2 to 4pm.. Here are a few wake me up work-out routines you can do right at your desk:


Stand up and squat down just barely touching your butt to the chair.. do this 10-20 times..

Extend your arms all the way out and rotate them forward for 20 seconds and then rotate them backwards for 20 seconds

While sitting in your chair, grab the seat and bring your knees to your tummy and then extend out.. repeat this 10-20 times.. for a quick ab work out.

If you have your own office:

you can get on the floor and do about 15 push ups, followed by bicycle kicks..

and if you have the chance to put some music on your computer.. getsome jumping jacks in there..

If you can do all the above a few times.. I promise your brain will jump into first gear and you will be ready to finish out the day with a smile on your face!

Started my day with Muay Thai at Roxy Fit.. Felt amazing after!

Then had a 1/2 cup of oatmeal with blueberries, Blackberries, flax seed and a bit of cinnamon!

Some ingredients to keep in the house for smoothies, yogurt, cereal, lunch, dinner etc..

Ground Flax Seed
Raw Chia Seeds
Protein Powder (make sure there isn't a lot of sugar)
Acai Juice
Lemon or Lime juice
apple cider
Greens Super Powder/Wheat Grass

I had a great dinner Sat night at Real Food Daily.. YUMMY! I ate a lot (it was my cheat night) yet it was all really healthy!!

check them out:http://www.realfood.com/

Tip: the brownie bowl is enough for 4 PPL!!

So I was on this super strict diet of eating only 3-4 oz of protein every 2 to 2 1/2 hrs with veggies (green beans, kale, asparagus and spinach) and TONS of water.. to get ready for some fitness pictures I was taking.. It got boring at times.. but after seeing my proofs from the shoot.. I have decided to stick with the diet. I will alter it a little.. but sticking to only a small portion of carbs first thing in the morning and then nothing but protein, veggies and light fruit through the day.. I feel great and clothes I just bought two weeks ago are already loose.. which is always a plus!
I do believe in cheat days and if you are totally craving something.. go far just have a little and then get back on your routine.. that way you aren't totally depriving yourself..

I don't know if it is moving to LA that has made me even more conscious about what I eat and staying a lot more healthy but I have never felt this great!!

Happy Monday!!

If you eat healthy all the time.. You are allowed a cheat day once n awhile..

A healthy yet delicious breakfast Recipe- Oatmeal Cakes

1/2 Cup uncooked oatmeal
1 Tbls of unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cinnamon
4-5 egg whites

mix in a bowl till smooth..

then spray a pan with Pam (butter or olive oil flavors are good)

Cook on low heat

Pour a little in mixture onto pan let it set for a few minutes till top starts bubbling and then flip..

this should make about 4-5 cakes

You can then top with a little more cinnamon if you like :-)

If you are looking to jump start your workout and get some weight off try to get about 30-45 min of cardio in the morning on an empty stomach..



Also switching between cardio and weight training will get your body moving.. You don't ever want to do the same thing for to long because our bodies get use to it and then they plateau..



They are so many new excercies out there.. Try them all at least once.. Hula Hoop Class, Zumba, Kick Boxing, Martial Arts, Hiking, CrossFit, Roller blading, Yoga, Pilates,



For me, personally.. gyms are boring so I like to change it up every few months and keep my body guessing what is next.



If you live in LA here are a few great fitness spots that I have tried and what I liked about them:



Focus Self Defense- http://www.focusselfdefense.com/ (Culver City) They offer Krav Maga, Crossfit, Kettle Bell classes, Yoga, Cardio Bag class..

Morning Crunch-http://www.morningcrunch.com/( Many Different Locations) They use the park for full body work outs and are constantly changing it up and I always feel great after.. They offer morning and evening classes

RoxyFit-http://www.roxyfit.com (West Hollywood)- LOVE the muay thai classes and muay thai boot camp combo.. Roxy keeps all her classes small so you feel like you are getting private training for a low cost! Morning and eveing classes

Easton Gym-http://www.eastgymco.com(West Hollywood/Santa Monica)-I persoanly like their spinning classes.. Nick in the west Hollywood location is AWESOME!

Start every morning with an 8oz glass of room temperature water with a splash of lemon or lime juice to get your metabolism rolling and feeling cleansed!

Then proceed to drink at least 8 more oz of water through the day..You should drink at least 1/2-to-1 ounce of Spring water per pound of body weight. Example: If you weight 120lbs you should be drinking 60-120oz of water a day to flush out your system. CAUTION: DO NOT drink your water all at once & try to drink your water spread out during the da

Then I like to start with a delicious smooth filled with:

1 tbls of ground flax seed
1 tbls of chia seeds
1 emergen-c packet
2 tbls of Acai
1 scoop of whey protein
1 banana
1/2 cup of blueberries
fresh spinach(how ever much you want)
and either almond milk or water..

Either way it turns out YUMMY! and is nice and filling..
