Healthy Dining

Healthy Food Choices 



I know how tempting it can be when friends invite you out for dinner at your favorite restaurant with all your favorite foods that will probably work against your fitness goals...lol. Dining out at your favorite spot doesn't have to leave you feeling guilty and working extra hard the next day to burn it all off. 


Here are a couple tips that will satisfy your taste buds and not sabotage your fitness goals at the same time.


1. Portion control
Split your meal in half and take a portion to go.

2. Skip the soda and wine
When soda and wine breakdown, it's stored as sugar in your body. Try drinking water only. This will give you a bit more room to indulge on your meal.

3. Get dressings and sauces on the side
A restaurant can make something as healthy as a salad unhealthy if it's loaded with too much dressing. 

4. Switch up the menu with substitutes and special requests
As we all know life is about give and take... eating healthy is no different. If you want a 
burger, instead of fries on the side, opt for veggies.


I hope these tips help. Share what's been working for you. Leave your comments below.

21 Day Sexy Abs Challenge Day (18) Sexy Abs Cardio Sculpt


My Sexy Abs Cardio Sculpt Experience


 So ....today was my first time trying the Sexy Abs Cardio Sculpt workout and I must say, it was very intense. The workout included a full range of exercises targeting each part of the body and of course everything was centered around the abs. The workout entire workout seemed a bit longer than I expected, but the good thing is that each section is broken down into 5 minute chapters. So if you don't have time to do the entire workout, you can skip to the chapter you want to target.  

Here is the chapter list:
1. Warm-up
2. Metabolic Boost
3. Total Body Blast
4. Amazing Arms & legs
5. Bye Bye Love Handles
6. Beautiful Back
7. Booty Patrol
8. Super Calorie Burner
9. Long Lean & Toned
10. Abs, Butt, &Thigh Blaster
11. Ab Smash
12. Lengthen& Stretch

Chapter 12 'lengthen & meditation' was probably my favorite. .. the relaxation and stretching of the muscles was much needed after this high energy workout!  I plan on incorporating this workout into my routine  on the days I don't go to the gym. If you 
haven't already tried Sexy Abs Cardio Sculpt get your copy today.....

MetroFresh Salad Rendition

Fresh Salad



So..... not too long ago I had one of the best salads I'd had in a while at MetroFresh in Atlanta. This salad was so good I HAD to try it at home.

The MetroFresh salad consisted of:
Mixed greens 
Strawberries and raspberries
Goat cheese
Sliced blackened chicken breast (cold)
Basil mint vinaigrette  

 The salad I made was slightly different.... mine consisted of:
Mixed greens 
Strawberries and raspberries
Feta cheese
Grilled chicken breast (warmed)
Basil mint vinaigrette  
The salad I prepared tasted pretty similar to the one I had at MetroFresh, the only difference was the basil mint vinaigrette.... I really need to find out exactly what they used to get mine to taste the same. lol ....I'll definitely be tweaking my basil mint vinaigrette and experimenting with different ingredients.


What's your favorite salad and what ingredients do you like most? Leave your comments below.
