New Pictures from the Fitness Competition!

Pictures from the Fitness Competition

Parm, Liz, Summer, Darcey, Suzanne, and Louise- The "BB Crew": all my friends that train together! This was in Vegas as Planet Hollywood on May 31, 2008. It was hard work and hard dieting, but worth it in the end!

Nutrition: Vitamins I recommend: My order on LivingFuel.com

I just placed this order on LivingFuel.com for :

Living Fuel - Super Greens
Omega 3 & E1
TheraSweet

I have been taking the Super Greens for the last 3 months and I feel really good. I also eat a very clean diet and exercise, but I have been restricting calories for the past two months, which can sometimes take quiet a toll on your immune system and your energy levels. Happy to say I haven't gotten sick at all and I really do feel good. Everyone needs to be taking a really good multi-vitamin, and I highly recommend this one. My friend Leslie recommended them to me and I take a 1/2 scoop every morning as soon as I wake up. The Omega's I haven't tried yet, or the TheraSweet, so stay tuned.
I also find that some of the multi-level marketing products, like Mona Vie, are beneficial as well; but I personally don't buy into those types of products.

Nutrition: Easy protein and Veggie Curry dish

I just came home from 5 days in NYC, and didn't have much in the fridge to eat. So I grabbed:
2 can's of tuna in water
1 package of Mediterranean style frozen mixed veggies
1/4 cup red curry sauce (from Trader Joe's) mixed with 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
I placed all of the ingredients in a skillet and cooked until the sauce thickened. Absolutely delicious!

Nutrition: Protein Pancakes with cottage cheese

Protein Pancakes with cottage cheese: EVERYONE, even my "non-fitness" friends love these pancakes!

• 1/2 cup egg whites
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup frozen, warmed berries with their juices as a topping or sugar free syrup
• Splenda to taste
  

Blend first four ingredients until smooth (I use the magic bullet; if you use a blender be sure to put the wet ingredients in first)
Pour onto heated griddle or non-stick pan (check to see if its hot enough with a splash of water-if it sizzles, its hot enough)
When pancake bubbles, flip and cook the other side
I like to top mine with frozen, organic strawberries-warmed and sliced and poured over the top with their juices. You can use Splenda to taste.

Words of wisdom!

"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." Martha Washington (1732-1802)
I couldn't have said it better myself!!! Love this quote!
