Shop and Shape Up Event 

With Hollywood Trainer Jeanette Jenkins

Sooo.... today I had the pleasure of working out with Hollywood trainer Jeanette Jenkins in the middle of Macy's at Lennox Square Mall in Atlanta! 

How often does that happen? Ha ha!

Jeanette was super cool and looked absolutely amazing!

When Jeanette announced the workout would only be 20 mins... I heard a few "awwhs" in the crowd, but not to be fooled....Jeanette definitely came with it! The workout was challenging, high energy and fun! 

Trust me, 20 mins was more than enough... lol I was so exhausted afterwards.... 

(if you look closely in the picture above in the bottom left corner, waaaaay in the back... lol, you will see me resting while everyone else is doing push-ups lol) 

oh well... the important part is that I made it through and felt great afterwards... lol

Jeanette had such great energy! I appreciate her taking the time to sign my October Shape magazine  featuring the beautiful Kelly Rowland.

Can't wait to try the new DVD "Sexy Abs Cardio Sculpt.... I'm so happy I had an opportunity to attend this event!

MetroFresh Salad

Yummy!

There's nothing better than a fresh, delicious salad!  I must say... this was one of the best salads I've had in a while. 

I had this salad for lunch today at MetroFresh in Atlanta. This cafe was so amazing, the food was so tasty and filling. Who says you can't eat healthy and be satisfied at the same time? 

Metrofresh was founded with the notion that fresh, healthy creative food is not out of reach for the casual diner

 This salad consisted of:

• Mixed greens 
• Strawberries and raspberries
• Goat cheese
• Sliced blackened chicken breast
• Basil mint vinaigrette 

This salad was so yummy... I have a feeling  I'll be doing my own rendition the near future lol (stay tuned for blog post)

If your looking for delicious, healthy fast food and you're  in the Atlanta area...stop by MetroFresh.... You won't be disappointed!!!

Healthy Breakfast Omelet

Healthy Breakfast Omelet 

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should never be skipped. Even if you don’t have time to cook breakfast, try to grab a piece of fruit or make a breakfast smoothie at the least. I like making egg white omelets because the egg whites are full of protein and the veggies have lots of nutrients and fiber.

I usually prepare my veggies and omelet separate then mix everything together. Below is the simple recipe I follow:

Note: This recipe will make about 1 omelet

• ½ cup of egg whites (you can use a full egg and separate the yolk or purchase just the egg whites)
• 1 handful of baby spinach
• ¼ teaspoon of McCormick California style garlic pepper with red bell & black pepper (my favorite seasoning)
• 1 cup of mixed veggies- mushrooms, colorful bell peppers (or I use whatever I have in the fridge)

Note:  Use whatever vegetables you like, sometimes I will use steamed asparagus or broccoli.

Instructions:

1. If you are using whole eggs, remove the yolk and mix just the egg whites together in a bowl, then add garlic pepper to taste.

2. Place all your veggies in a small skillet coated with olive oil over medium heat, allow them to sauté.

3. In another skillet coated with olive oil over medium heat, pour the egg white mixture and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Flip with spatula and cook for another 2 minutes (at this point you can add your sautéed  veggies to the egg whites)

5. Reduce the heat, sprinkle a little cheese and then fold the omelet in half.

6. Place omelet on a plate and enjoy!

Note:  You can also mix the egg whites in bowl together along with the veggies and cook together. I do this sometimes too. I also like to have a piece of wheat toast on the side or grilled chicken if I’m really hungry.

Veggie egg white omelets are super easy to make, plus it’s a great way to jump start your day. What’s your favorite healthy breakfast recipe? Leave your comments below I’d love to hear about it!

Cardio Funk

 Cardio Funk

Today‘s workout was a cardio dance class a friend of mine teaches “Cardio Funk” at the YMCA. I attended this class one time a couple years back and at the time I was not as active as I am now so all I remember is thinking the instructor was “INSANE.” LOL…. she had such high energy and I could barely keep up lol…. so when I got the invitation to attend the class today, I was excited and nervous at the same time because this class is nonstop intense dancing and moving for 1 hour!

I did better today than I did the first time. I was actually able to keep up (somewhat) lol…. I didn’t have to take as many breaks in between and I had a blast!

The class was fun and I really liked the hip hop dancing aspect. I will definitely attend again!

What’s your favorite dance class/workout?

 I’d love to hear about it. Leave your comments below.

Healthy Eating Shopping

Eating the right foods is probably the most important portion of getting those amazing abs you’ve always dreamed of…. be sure to incorporate fruits and veggies into your diet for maximum results……

Today I went to Trader Joe's to purchase some of my favorite fruits and veggies to get my

 “21 day sexy abs challenge” 

off to a great start.

During this challenge I’ll be eating lots of vegetable, fruit and drinking plenty of water daily. I try to do all of these things already, but I will be even more conscious now.   

***My dinner this evening****

 I used grapeseed oil to sauté my veggies (mushrooms, onions and asparagus) I prepared  tilapia and brown rice along with.
