Post-Olympia weekend time period of laziness going on here. Quick ‘reminder’ post for all the healthy peeps out there. Holla.
Major shout out to NATASHA who did the back and forth to Vegas in 24 hours insanity with me AND to all the amazing people I got to meet AND my homeslices (yeah, I said it) I got to catch up with. I was glad I got at least one day in the madness. I wore unicorn LEGGINGS from Emerald City to the expo and then Exotic fish legs from Claude and Me to the bodybuilding.com AFTER party at Boutique. Check my FACEBOOK for pics from the event.
Unfortunately, since then I have been SICK. Meh.
It seems like any and every time I attend a large convention of any type that I set myself up for major immune system onslaught. You’d think that after 10+ YEARS of maybe 8 conventions a month that I’d know to get it together and rest and Vitamin C this ol bod up before heading to one but NOOOOO…and to make matters worse, this time was a DOOZY. Major flu-like ‘thing.’ I need to sloowww it down. Some. Dih.
Anyway – at the moment I am feeling BETTER.
BUT being sick always makes me RE-EVALUATE my diet and what I am actually getting in it daily/weekly – and on the whole – as it should.
Most of you have seen this list a MILLION TIMES over – whether it be in The Booty Bible, mentioned in my CARDIO WORLD series or in any health or fitness magazine.
I don’t know about you – but for me? This stuff cannot be repeated ENOUGH.
Want to get LEAN and STAY LEAN? These are the things that should make up the BULK of your food intake. When I say ‘bulk’ that should READ 80% OR MORE of what you eat. More = EVEN BETTA’.
LEAN BODY FOODS CHEAT SHEET
FIBER-RICH GRAINS
HEALTHY FATS: OLIVE OILS, AVOCADO, ETC
LEAN PROTEIN SOURCES: CHOOK (been around my AUSSIES this week!), Turkey, lean cuts of red meat, etc
BEANS
VEGETABLES: Green and leafy preferred
EGGS
LOW FAT DAIRY
FRUITS LIKE: BERRIES, APPLES AND MELON
NUTS AND SEEDS (HEALTHY FATS)
Now – try and get at least SIX of these in your system all in in one day – and you will find yourself a bit too full to eat that TROUGH of buttered popcorn or that Butterfinger bar.
You dig?

Sneaker brand court-ordered payback: their "Kardashian-approved" "weight loss" sneakers did not actually help people with weight loss. In other news Captain Obvious is holding an emergency summit in Washington.
Are you attractive and thin and hot enough to actually shop at A&F? Chain to institute random checkpoints and hidden "floor scales" throughout store...sorta, kinda, not really.
"Five pounds" is not a dumbbell...it's a paperweight. The force is strong with this one....
Are we loving the Beyonce x H&M summer collection music vid, or does it all feel like overkill?
U of Ma Delta Gamma president flips her sh*t on her "sisters" via email tirade...is it possible to us the 'F' word that many times in one email???
