Today we arrived in Maui at about 7am!
First thing we did after getting our rental car was heading out for breakfast!
The menu didn’t have a lot of healthy food options (supprise )….
My husband James had fish and egg whites, but I can’t eat white fish that early!
My option was a lox Benedict without hollandaise!
Which was a piece of bread with lox and tomato…
Not to bad if you forget about the bread 😉
As we were eating I watched a table next to us!
Seamed like father and daughter .
The daughter, no more than 18 years old, had juice, a bran muffin, a cinnamon roll and a plate of fruit in front of her!!!
Sugar, sugar, sugar!
Yes, she ate all of it….
The dad was having juice, a stack of 3 hughe pancakes with fruit, whipped cream and powdered sugar !
And….he also ate all of it!
I was almost ready to walk over to say” excuse me but it seams as you are forcing diabetics on yourself and your daughter”.
Bran muffins are a terrible choice!
Don’t drink juice…eat the fruit instead!
Cinnamon rolls? Please!!!
Pancakes with more sugar and saturated fat?
Clogged arteries and heartattack here we come…
Why would someone that loved their children let them
Eat this way?
( just a question)
After my observation at breakfast we had more hours to kill before check in.
So, we signed up at a local gym and worked out for about 90 minutes!
Got the blood fow going, released some of those kankles after flying for long period of time.
Before check in we stopped at the supermarket and bought water, fruit, nuts, veggies, egg whites and eggs, oatmeal and my favorite ….coffee!
No bran muffins, juice, pancakes, and cinnamon rolls allowed 🙂
Just done with dinner ( white fish, cucumbers and tomatoes), and now watching an amazingly beautiful sunset!!!
Life is good 🙂

Remember it takes all aspect to lose weight!
Weight training, cardiovascular training, flexibility, and especially nutrition!
If you are leaving one out, you will have no or minimum results!
Consistency is the key 😉
So… what are you waiting for?
Let’s do this!!!!!!!!
If you need help with your supplements to speed up the process, please visit Freddie’s Nutrition in Las Vegas, or simply click on the Freddie’s link.
Honestly there is none!
I used to think that I could eat whatever I like, but ending up in gaining 20-25 pounds between competitions!!!
Years ago I’ve even tried to bulk up while eating the wrong foods and ended up 35 pounds heavier…
So after losing 45 pounds I realized I wasn’t any more masculine than before!
Yes, you can bulk up on clean foods and gain some muscle.
You will have to do this slow and consistent 😉
However you can’t get of clean eating in your off season….
Don’t expect while you are on the beer and pizza diet to come back and get into tip top competition stage in a short period of time….
I’ve talked to Competition Judges so many times, and all of them will tell you the same thing:
It is MOST IMPORTANT what you do in your off season!!!
More so than what you are doing on your 4-8- or 12 week program!
How you train, and especially what you eat and how you supplement!
Your body will get better each and every time, but you can not get of clean eating and training and expecting a magic pill!!!
YOU are responsible for YOUR body!
Plain and simple!
Any questions?

Baby Steps is something I like to tell my clients!
Sometimes we go gun hoe into that 100% change of life style and get burned out in 2 seconds!!!
If this is just about losing weight and not about competing it may better to change things slowly!
So which changes are the most important?
Diet!!!
All diet really means is way of eating 🙂
Don’t go to low in your caloric needs right away!
Once you hit a platoo (and you will…) you need to be able to lower your caloric needs!
Never go below 1200 calories because this will simply stop your metabolism .
Next increase your cardiovascular activity!
If you are doing 3 days of 30-40 min cardio per day, add one more day!
According to the American Fitness association you maintain your weight by 3 days of cardiovascular activity per week, but to lose weight you need to do 4 or more days of cardio….
Conditioned people maybe more, unless they are now starting to control their diet!
Next will be challenge yourself!!!
Yes!
Lift heavier…
Increase that muscle to burn more calories.
Your muscle is your calorie burning machine!!!
Don’t worry ladies 🙂
You will not turn into a man without adding testosteron injections!!!
You can only gain about 8 pounds of muscle per year with perfect diet and supplementation!
That’s a lot, even destriputed over the whole body….
But once you diet down you will lose some of this!
Make sure you added enough, so there can be some left.
It takes about 4-6 weeks to get that focus to be on the diet 100%….
There will be some mistakes as we’ve seen in the past >>>>
People don’t want to Pre cook meals and end up eating processed turkey or chicken….
Using frozen foods instead of fresh (high sodium)!
Not drinking enough water, or adding flavors which dehydrates instead of hydrates the body!!!
Over usage of sugar free syrup, which causes bloating and constipation!!!
Using dairy free fat free frozen yogurt, which is made from corn and turns to sugar anyway ( causes bloating and constipation)!
Energy drinks, which are poisen and slowing down your thyroid function just like soda does!
Eventually you will get this 🙂
Once you are very close to that perfect eating, your energy will increase and you will feel like a million bucks!!!
So why do we get back to our old habits?
Addiction!!!
We are addicted to sugar, caffeine, sodium, and tons of other chemicals…
However once you discovered how amazing you feel and how good you look, you will always come back to clean eating and training hard!
It’s all worth it 🙂

Thank you 🙂
Today was amazing!
Beautiful Mervat placed 15th out of more than 40 people in her first National Competition!
Jessica placed 12th!
Samantha (Samy) placed 15th out of more than 40 girls!
This is absolutely great!!!
Most of these women have competed in Nationals several times…
There bodies went through improvements over the course of sometimes years 🙂
We did absolutely amazing …..
Our team is getting stronger and better every time!
And of course with success comes envy and hate!
That is something we need to prepare for 😉
Obviously it’s nothing new to humanity !!!
All we can do is to be the best we can be!
Ignore the negative and move on….
Everything is a boomerang and kicks you back in the ass if you don’t watch it!!!
There are amazing things in store for us :())
I’m excited!
I love to see success in other people .
That means they are doing something right!!!
With that success will come to me as well.
The law of nature :
Love creates love!
Hate creates hate, negativity, and illness…
I chose to love my enemies 🙂
