3 Months To a Leaner You!

This First 4 weeks is all about setting a routine. You will learn exactly where to start!



Forget about New Years Resolutions, you will be 6 steps ahead of the rest!

  • Clean out your kitchen: Throw out anything with high fructose corn syrup, white flour, sugar, and anything else you cant even pronounce.


  • Restock your kitchen with fresh & frozen organic fruit, vegetables, organic lean ground beef, fish, shrimp, scallops, tuna, slow cook brown rice, old fashioned oatmeal, organic cottage cheese, fresh ground peanut butter or adams brand (nothing but peanuts is the point), quality protein powder with low carbs, and a quality meal replacement drink. email me if you would like my recommendation.


  • Stock up on your vitamins, B12, D, and a multi. (I will fill you in on their benifits later, they are worth taking.)


  • Fill up your water bottle, you need 1 liter (34oz) per 50lb body weight


  • Plan out 45min for yourself each day to get healthy and lean! Make it an appt. with yourself.


  • Grab a notebook to start keeping a food journal, write down everything.


Go get started....what are you waiting for? Look for this weeks workout for super sexy abs.....

Vitamin D and Weight Loss





Clearly, vitamin D seems to be very important in regulating our weight. There is a correlation between rising rates of obesity and vitamin D deficiency.

If you are having difficulty with insulin resistance or weight gain — or can’t keep the pounds off once you lose them — you may want to have your vitamin D levels checked by your doctor.

Just recently I read that Vitamin D helps regulate your hormones....and what do your hormones regulate? Your weight! Well I'm not telling you if you go out and take your Vitamin D every day you will lose weight. But if you have been struggling with those last few pounds and have been sticking to your clean meal plans and workouts. This may be key in getting your body back in balance.
Living in Washington we miss the sun in the winter. We have been pretty blessed this year as it seems to be shining more often. But my point is no matter where you live if your not getting your Vitamin D from the sun you should be taking 1000-2000 IU per day.

Vitamin D also helps with "Seasonal Affective Disorder" (seasonal depression). Amongst other awesome benefits such as fighting menopause, and osteoporosis, and cancer.
You should be tested by your doctor for deficiency. It could be worth the 15 min. to see if you are.

Warp Speed Fat Loss

Im trying something new




As you all may know by know I get bored with things and like to change it up often. So my new journey (besides the sprint tri.) is Alwyn Cosgrove & Mike Roussell's warp speed fat loss program. I have used Alwyn's workouts before I have both of his New Rules books and really liked the challenge. The WSFL program looks just as intense and as a bonus for me comes with menus so I dont have to waste my time planning what I will eat. I will be starting this Monday when my clients start their 12 transformation challenge. The WSFL is just 4 weeks. I will keep updates here for my challenge also.








Here is the WSFL program if you want to check it out for yourself.
