I truly appreciate everyone’s vote and support. It is an honor to be a finalist for neXt hot body. This opportunity will allow me to motivate & help others make fitness a part of their everyday life.

About 8 years ago, I discovered my passion for fitness and commitment to live a healthy lifestyle. My sophomore year of college was my turning point as my body began to change. As, a child I was always very active, participated in many sports, ran cross country, danced and swam for many years. But, as I approached my 20’s my energy level was decreasing, I couldn’t eat whatever I wanted without noticing it and my “maternal” hips appeared. I realized if I wanted to live longer, minimize aging and feeling good meant making exercise a critical part of my everyday life.

Living a healthy and active lifestyle will improve your overall quality of life, increase your career potential, allow you to achieve your goals, increase energy, build stronger muscles, increase endurance, gain confidence and help you live a longer healthier life.
In order to consistently and effectively live an active lifestyle it is crucial to identify physical activities that you enjoy and are passionate about. If you look forward to your workout or physical activity then you will want to do them every day.

After years in the gym, enjoying adventurous sports, learning/mastering many extreme and water sports, I cannot imagine living my life without fitness. My mission is to help others find that love and passion for fitness and living a healthy lifestyle.

Don’t let the Holidays get you off track.
The holidays are usually the most difficult time of the year to maintain your physique, overall physical condition and eating habits. Here are some key tips to keep you in tip top shape this holiday season.

At the Mall
The food court is full of diet crimes. Here are just a few:
Cinnamon Roll: 850 calories and 34 grams of fat.
Chocolate chip cookie: 280 calories, but it can pack as much fat as two fried-chicken drumsticks. Soft plain pretzel that seems to be a decent option is around 340 calories and has 5 grams of fat.
Fit Tips:
Eat a hearty breakfast before you leave the house such as: oatmeal, fresh fruit, and whole-grain toast. Get up and get to the mall as soon as it opens. Many of the tempting foods such as pizza or fries will be less tempting during the early hours of the day.

At a Party
Holiday parties are full of calories with cosmos, cocktails and unknown appetizers. Those petite plates look innocent, but two scoops of spinach-artichoke dip with a handful of pita chips, a couple of slices of bruschetta, is nearly 500 calories. The worst part is these skimpy snacks don’t even fill you up.
Fit Tips:
Plan your workouts in the morning on the party days. Don’t go to parties hungry. Have a light dinner beforehand so you are can be more selective at the party and make healthy choices. Eat foods like shrimp cocktail, prosciutto-wrapped melon, caviar, and skip the heavy mixed drinks. Champagne has only about 85 calories while an eggnog martini can rack up to 300 calories. Be social and engage in conversation to avoid overeating or tempting deserts.

At the Office
The kitchen is a dumping ground for the goodies your coworkers don’t want in their homes. A trip to the coffeemaker has never been so dangerous, with snicker doodles and lemon bars (both around 140 calories) lurking on every counter. Don’t be fooled by your boss’s seemingly innocuous slivers of chocolate fudge; the rich bites pack nearly 120 calories per ounce.
Fit Tips:
Bring your own snacks to work and avoid the kitchen. If you are tempted with a bad food choice, sniff on coffee beans and wait about 10-15 minutes. The coffee beans and time will help minimize your cravings. Pressing “pause” on a craving helps retrain your brain to resist the urge next time.

At the Coffee Shop
Sleep deprivation has turned you into a gift-wrapping zombie. Eggnog latte or peppermint mocha seems like the perfect pick-me-up, but it’s dessert in disguise, with up to 700 calories and about the same amount of fat as a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. And don’t tell yourself that a tasty drink will help you resist the pastries (there can be 500 calories in a slice of banana bread, BTW). Studies show that calories from beverages don’t fill you up as much as those from solid foods.
Fit Tips:
When a java craving strikes, invite a fit friend (the one who drinks small skim lattes) to join you; that peer pressure may help you make a positive choice. “Or decide on a healthy drink before you go, and order first so you’re not tempted by a pal’s unhealthy pick. Take five minutes to think about your decision and minimize your carving. Bypass the coffee place by bringing your own coffee to work or on a shopping trip. You will not only save calories but save money too!
