I bought a delicious Turkey Breast this week!
Marinated with garlic, rosemary, butter, salt and pepper!
I baked it for about one hour.
Side dish was cauliflower and Japanese mini sweet potatoes.
I just put the sweet potatoes in foil and baked them with the turkey in the oven.
Cauliflower was simply steamed.
I also made some red cabbage!
Bring chicken broth to a boil, add onions and the red cabbage!
After the cabbage becomes soft you can add 1/2 apple (cut into cubes) or 2 tbsp of blackberry jelly!
This will offset the taste a little!
You can also just add some stevia which is what I did here.

This will be the first change in my diet!
So far we started with Keto.
We kept our Fats high to stabilize our blood sugar (glucose levels) to prevent raging hunger…
We cut out all sugar and starches.
Also incorporated intermittent fasting which helped producing those ketones…
Here are the new changes:
We are still getting our intermittent Fasting in, but it will be dinner that we are skipping…
I’m dropping Fats down a little by changing to leaner meats.
I am raising carbohydrates to between 50 and 70 grams!
I will add one higher carbohydrate day on Sundays!
I have started to carry a one gallon bottle of water around with me (one thing I always hated)!
It helps me to get my water intake up!
Simple dietary changes right now before we entering our next change…
I posted a short video about it!
Thank you so much!

Pilates is a mix between Ballet and Active Flexibility.
It is excellent for hip strength as well as neuromuscular function.
I like to incorporate a simple segment of these stretches into my routine about twice per week if I have time…
I start with the straight leg stretch followed by the bend leg tuck (head of the floor, activating abdominal and pelvic floor muscles).
I follow with half circles 8-10 in both directions (going across the body, not outside the body …see video)
On my side in fetal position I start with hot potatoes (not sure who made up this name…) and little circles in both directions.
Now I am drawing big circles in both directions and bicycles (video).
Last one in this position is straight leg raises.
I am staying on the same side as I bend both knees and perform my clam exercises, elevated clam and touch the floor, extend….
10 reps each or in both directions.
Always finish one side first before move to your other side.
In the beginning there might be some hip cracking, since your body has to adjust.
After you do this for a little while it will go away!
Remember this is not exercise advice.
You are following at your own risk!
Here is the video and Thank you 🙂

I wanted to share a typical day in my life simply because I always hear women say they don’t have time to work out!
While many of my clients do have family and a full time job yet still manage to get their workout in no matter what…
My day starts at 3:30am
I have not always been a morning person, but had to condition myself to it!
After my 2 cups of coffee while listening to affirmations or other positive channels I get ready for work!
Before I leave I always walk my dog, usually at 5am!
I arrive early at LVAC so I can clean the equipment I want my clients to use…
Even though I start work at 6am, I don’t mind starting early whenever people arrive!
After Covid I let everyone come to group sessions whenever they get here.
This makes not only time fly by fast, but also keeps groups volume down!
I usually have about 3-4 at the time…
After my morning session I will go to the park to get my first session of cardio in.
Usually 40 minutes.
Our weather in Vegas is absolutely gorgeous!!!
70 degrees and blue skies!
After lunch I will clean up a little, or clean the house, record videos for you tube or watch and research some of my interest!
I actually schedule my week out, but do not always achieve my set goals…
Take a shower and hit back to LVAC to get my workout in and another cardio session before working with my afternoon girls!
By the time I’m done it’s already dark outside!
On my way home I listen to podcasts of my interest.
Serving us dinner, clean the kitchen, shower and get ready for bed!
Not the most exciting day, however productive:)
I feel the best when I get most of the things done on my schedule!
To be honest I really don’t watch TV or shows!
I do spend a little time in the morning on social media mostly to advertise…
At night I like to write my schedule and goals since it relaxes me!
Just remember that if you need to get your workout in, do it early morning!
You can go for a walk during your lunch break!
Do some yoga while watching TV at night!
There is always something you can do!
Just push yourself first to start it!
Love,
