I will admit it, like every normal everyday woman, whether you are a college student, career woman, a mom or any combination of the three, I fell off the healthy eating bandwagon for the past two weeks. I had been really stressed for the past two months and had not been eating much, but once I finally felt relaxed I just ate like nobody's business. Pizza, cupcakes, garlic knots, and chocolate truffles to name a few, but my body felt the effect very quickly and I began to feel sluggish and tired and I reverted back to my original motto of "your body is a temple and you can only expect to get out of it what you put into it".

This past monday I did a diet 180 and resumed my regular regimen of clean eating, low sugar, low carb, high protein diet, as well as working out every day for about two hours. I can say without a doubt that my body immediately responded so positively to this change it was thanking me with bounds of energy, and I woke up not even needing my regular cup of "clear the brain fog before starting the day coffee". That is the beauty of clean eating you see results, and my body is functioning so much better and I feel like a new person.

I have been following a diet of

Breakfast- one egg and two egg whites omelette with spinach and a little bit of avocado, a pinch of lowfat cheese

Snack- A lean body for her protein shake with a few strawberries and water made in my magic bullet

Lunch- Broccoli, carrots, spinach, and lean skin free chicken breast and a kombucha drink

Snack- either veggies with hummus or a banana with peanut butter

Dinner- Filet Mignon 4 oz., sweet potato, and veggies of some kind(asparagus, broccoli, or artichokes)

Occasionally dessert- with two tablespoons of lite cool whip and strawberries


My workout routine consists of an hour of cardio- either walking, or the spin class kind of bike for an hour. What most people don't know is that it takes at least 20-25 minutes for your body to get into tapping into and burning your fat reserves, so in order to do cardio and lose fat you should stick with at least 45 minutes to an hour each time.

I do cardio at least four days a week and hike on the weekends and then train a different muscle group every day, for example

Monday- Legs and abs
Tuesday- Shoulders and back
Wednesday- Arms, biceps, triceps, and abs again
Thursday- Legs again and obliques
Firday-rest
Saturday- hike and maybe some light weight
Sunday-yoga or rest day

I give myself one cheat meal a week and I promise if you stick to this program you will see results!
