When you live in Americas finest city, photos like these are easy to capture. You just have to get out to do so! My friends and I decided to go out for a hike instead of meeting to eat. Opting for healthier meet ups and mixing it up helps keep us all on track towards our health goals. When you are trying to improve yourself and achieve a better self, be sure that those in your circle or around you will hold you accountable to those because without accountability partners, who else can we go to for support? Love my circle as they have helped me achieve those goals and my pursuit to continued success. #strongsexysisters

This was too funny not to repost! Make sure that just as much as you are spending to look fly, you are on feeling fly! We tend to focus on too much on our outer appearance we lose focus on the damage we may potentially be doing internally. Eat well, read through ingredients and make sure you know what you are putting in your body. #strongsexysisters

This was too funny not to repost! Many of us do have some sort of food allergy or know someone who does and what really helps is being around those who understand as well as accommodate. I cannot tell you the stares and looks I get when I ask if there is a possibility of gluten being in something or cross contamination. I am not asking because I'm on a "fad diet", I am asking so that I can enjoy my meal without getting sick. I truly appreciate those who take this matter seriously and who have gone out of their way to ensure I am able to enjoy my meal. Thank you! #strongsexysisters #eatclean #glutenfree

Post workout nourishment! Make sure to have this within 30 minutes of working out this way you are giving your body the much needed nutrients it needs to repair itself. You will feel better and less hungrier when doing so. #strongsexysisters #presslajolla #eatclean #workoutfilthy

Words to live by! No matter how hard you workout and how hard you train, if you are eating poorly, you will not get to the health goal you are trying to achieve. I used to think this and know plenty of people who do. Some say it's 70% diet and 30% exercise while others say it's 80% diet! Whatever the case may be if you are not seeing the results you desire, take a serious look into what you are consuming. Until I changed my eating habits, I had minimal progress and was losing hope. With the help of great trainers, I was taught that majority of it has to do with what I was eating. Not getting enough protein, drinking way too much alcohol as well as not eating the right amount of food definitely was keeping me from making progress. Don't let the bad decisions in the kitchen take away from all the hard work you put in the gym!!! #strongsexysisters #motivated #eatclean #workoutfilthy

A new blog posting is out and I know I missed transformation Tuesday however everyday is a transformation for me. This is a progress picture of me and it may not look like a lot, a tremendous amount of work, dedication was pushed toward this transformation. Don't allow your perception to be your deception and celebrate all you triumphs no matter how small or big they may feel to you as they are all steps in your destination to improving you!

Perception Over Deception
I have struggled (a lot) with believing that what I am doing is actually making changes in my body. After seeing a photo comparison of me taken in April and July I realized something.
Though I feel better (mentally and physically) my view on my physical image seems to skewed! I know that with weight loss it does not happen over night as that weight was not gained over night however (and I don't believe I'm alone when I say this) I sometimes become so discouraged when I haven't reached a certain number, target, visual I have set for myself in my head. I become so focused on the final destination than truly absorbing this journey of health I have embarked on.
As each day comes I am filled with more and more information that has actually helped me put this into perspective. That you are beautiful regardless of size, shape, and physical form. I used to think I needed to look a certain way in order to be happy but along the way as I am making better decisions for my well being I felt much happier. With that in mind I noticed I am feeling better and better each day.
My stress levels are low, I am sleeping better and ultimately making what I feel is best for my short and long term goals regardless of what those around me say. Taking charge of my life and regardless
Of how long my journey takes, as long as I am feeling great along the way, I have passed the destination a long time ago.
I've heard that comparison is the roberry of joy so know that regardless of where you are and where someone else is in the pursuit of your goals, dreams and health inspirations you are not alone and everyone wants to see you succeed!
Don't give up!

Gym rat selfie! I have been out of commission for about a week and was a little hesitant to go back today. However relaxing that I can be the biggest road block on the road to my health success, I pushed through and crushed it (with modifications of course). I cannot tell you how much better I feel and it really doesn't matter now many times you fall down, it's how many times you get up! I've picked up some fitness goodies and a blog with my reviews will be up. Also if you want to check out what I've been eating, download @twograndapp and follow me! #strongsexysisters #health #fitfamily #dontstop #eatcleanworkoutfilthy

My after workout nourishment! While on a cleanse day this would have been 3 dark chocolate squares however I opted to have a scoop of this with water and ice instead. I absolutely love this protein powder. It is plant based, raw, hypo-allergenic, complete amino acid profile, high in fiber and doctor developed. It is dairy, soy, gluten, lactose, GMO free. I curb my sweet tooth craving with this shake in addition I get a ton of great nutrients. It's a win win! #strongsexysisters #HealthyCeliac #workoutfilthy #eatclean #isagenix #fitnessunicorn

Green tea and two hard boiled eggs. Decided to swap my snack & my shake today since I will be working out shortly and would need more energy. Love that you can swap things out and move I around according to your schedule and needs. On day 6 of my Isagenix 30 day cleanse and feeling fantastic! #strongsexysisters #isagenix #eatclean #HealthyCeliac #SanDiego #workoutfilthy

Road trippin'
Snacks for my road trip today! Packed a few things (grapes with goat cheese, dried mangos, cucumbers with Bitchin' Chipotle sauce, Miltons Gluten-fee calories, raw nuts, nectarine, Think Thin gluten-free protein bar and stevia for my tea) and was sure to label each one with the calorie content.
It's so easy to assume the calories you are getting but it makes it definitely easier when you measure and track. I will be splitting these with my road trip companion and helps me keep in line with the calorie requirements during this cleanse.
I've definitely noticing how and where I would want to make my calories count as well as be worth it. 1/4 cup of raw mixed nuts is more calories than the full cup of grapes I packed. I would feel much more fuller and satisfied with the grapes than the raw nuts. I know they both provide great amounts of nutrients but being able to see where and what I need, helps me make healthier decisions.
Happy road trippin!

Cleanse For Life!
I have hit a plateau in addition to getting into a relationship and noticed that no matter what I was doing, I seemed to be stuck! It was becoming frustrating and almost to a point where I wanted to give up!
My best friend noticed my frustration and started to talk to me about Isagenix. She had started over a month ago and had amazing results. I started to look over their program and was impressed they had a dairy and gluten-free option. I was trying to figure out if I wanted to do the 9 day or 30 day program and before I could decide my best friend gifted me with the 30 day program to me. I couldn't believe it and truly blessed that she cares so much my health & well being to offer me this amazing product.
To my delight the package came in one box, perfectly packed with all the items needed to started on my Isa-journey! I will admit it was definitely intimidating at first but after I read through all the tidbits, with the guidance of my best friend, the Facebook support group pages for those wanting to or on this journey and my boyfriend - I started my cleanse on June 1st.
Having a solid support system, whether it be friends, family members, strangers, your health practitioner, it definitely helps so that you are not alone and able to discuss what you are going through with others as well as help answer any questions you have. Knowing you are not the only one and that there are plenty of people who want to see you succeed, truly helps motivate and keep you accountable.
In the 30 day cleanse, there are 26 shake/meal days and 4 deep cleanse days. You go through the deep cleanse days in the first two weeks of the progeny (2 days each week). On the shake says you have an outline of when to take your shakes as well as when you want to have snacks (Isagenix products or from a list provided of various snacks you can have) as well as a low-glycemic and balanced meal.
On the cleanse days it will consist of a lot of liquids (Cleanse For Life) and in addition you have their Isa-snacks and dark chocolate on these days! Yes, chocolate! Because of my food allergies I purchased my chocolate from the local grocery store and it just has to be dark chocolate with a 70% or higher cocoa consistency.
On the cleanse days I reduce my workout activity however on the other days I am still hitting the gym and increasing my shake intake so that I am not lightheaded, dizzy or at a calorie depletion.
This cleanse is definitely not like any others and have seen so many great success stories it seemed like a no brainer to try. If you are looking for more info, feel free to look it up or reach out to me and I would love to help you start your Isa-journey. And who knows, maybe we can do it together!!

Post workout meal! Stopped over at Urban Plates and was delighted to see they had a separate menu for gluten-free items. I opted for an Urban Plate, grilled free range chicken and my two sides were tomato mozzarella w/cucumbers in a vinaigrette sauce & mashed potatoes. I also had their tomato basil soup and a bite of the flourless chocolate cake. It was delicious and definitely worth going back for more. #GlutenFree #CeliacSafe #CeliacSnack #SanDiego #Foodie #Blogger #HealthyCeliac #eatclean #strongsexysisters

However they do and what you eat in private, definitely shows in public! Be sure that you stay true to yourself, your health, goals and that a little indulgence is great. Moderation is key! This one is definitely been a long and hard one to learn however something that has really helped combat over-eating/binging. I noticed that when I deprived myself completely I would fall in this awful cycle of unable to control myself after so many times of going cold turkey. Consider this a treat or part of your cheat meal. And no it's not plural for a reason. By giving myself something here and there, has helped curb and reduce those bad eating habits!

Afternoon pick me up. Kiwi is probably one of the easiest fruits to eat - cut it in half and scoop it out. Added some raw nuts for that extra pinch of energy I will need for my workout this evening.

After workout much needed nourishment! When you an intense workout you want to get protein in your system within 15 - 30 minutes after finishing. This will help with your recovery. You cannot go wrong with Quest Bars. They have a variety of flavors as well as ingredients. Of course for me, it is the gluten-free choice and can you really go wrong with a white chocolate raspberry protein bar? Yum.

StrongHER Thursdays!
Strength workout complete...now onto the days grind! Can you handle this at Lift Life Results in PB? Come down and workout with me!
Strength training workout; 50 seconds on, 10 seconds off. You will go through each workout 3 times and move onto the next station with a 1 minute break
Station 1
DB 2 arm triceps extension (1 dumbbell, you will want to go heavier and form a diamond shape with your fingers. Place the weight behind your head and thrust up)
DB Thrusters (2 dumbbells, will go down in a half squat and keep the dumbbells at your shoulders. You will want to thrust up with your hips and with that momentum push the dumbbell’s all the way up)
Station 2
TRX Reverse Fly (Grab the ropes and pull all the way out, leaning back. When you curl in be sure to have your hands/arms meet in the middle above your chin)
KB Split Squat (2 kettlebells, one in each hand. Lunge forward and keep that position as you squat down. Switch legs at 25 seconds)
Station 3
KB Good mornings (Straight leg dead lift, legs shoulder length apart)
Hollow Rocks (Lay on your back, extend your legs straight and lift about 2 inches off the ground. You will want your hands to be directly out in front of you and rock back & forth, all the while making sure your legs do not touch the ground
Station 4
Slider knee tucks/ab saw (Grab 2 sliders, place under your feet. Proceed into a plank position, wrists down and begin to tuck your knees into your chest. Half way through keep your body in a straight line and you will want to slide back and forth using your core muscle to move you. If you have issues with your wrists, you can do these from your elbows).
Shoulder Push-up on Box (This is exactly what it sounds like; you will get in a push-up in position and extend your legs up onto a box. You will move your body back so that your rear is higher up and gradually come down. If this is too much, you can always do them from the ground – just get into a downward dog position and move your head back and forth towards the ground)

(Formerly Socal Fit Body Bootcamp)

I found that whenever I have healthy food (already made) on hand, it makes it so much easier to ensure I am getting the right amount calories as well as eating enough for the day. One of the easiest and yummiest things I try to keep on hand are turkey meatballs! These delicious treats can be added to any meal or be eaten on their own. I will make them the night before or when I have about 45 minutes to spare in between other things I have to do around the house. Recipe: 1 pound of lean ground turkey (you can use chicken or meat if you prefer; I just feel you get more bang for your buck with turkey with it having more protein and less calories per fat) ¼ cup of oats ½ of marinara, tomato sauce ¼ cup of egg whites 1 table spoon of garlic 1 table spoon of coriander 1 table spoon of oregano 1 tea spoon of cumin (I really love to use all sorts of spices and for me the more, the merrier!) I will mix all in a bowl and let marinate for about 30 minutes in the fridge. Once that is complete; turn on the oven to 325 – 350 degrees (I cook at a lower temperature for a longer time, seems to cook the meat evenely as well as comes out so much more juicer). I will scoop out about a table spoon each and roll up the meatballs on a baking sheet. Cover and cook for 35 minutes Once they are done, I let them cool down and store in the fridge. Whenever I need to add protein to a meal or hungry, I can easily grab for these and just pop them in my mouth. A little bit of a prep work will definitly go a long way! Remember failure to plan is planning to fail! #strongsexysisters #eatclean #workoutfilthy #chefchampess #recipes #easyeating

Transformation Tuesday! I wore this exact costume about 2 years apart. When I wore it in 2013, I needed the assistance of a corset and #spanx . I was popping out at the top however in my defense I still rocked it! When I wore this costume to a party last year I actually did not need the assistance of any waist trainer, corset, fat sucker! Also because the costume was not snug I was able to fit a petticoat underneath. I really love this costume and both pictures, however in the most recent photo you can see how much healthier I am. I am excited to track my progress again this Halloween and have the next 9 months to reach my fitness goals! #strongsexysisters #strongHER #TransformationTuesday #eatclean #workoutfilthy
