The Little Red Dress.....

      This winter was brutal in NYC, No?!  Well I can only speak for myself but I put on a warming layer of fat to endure the cold, at least thats how I like to look at it. Getting back in shape isn't as hard as we all think, its all about CONTROL and taking it one step at a time. I have to thank my Trainer Linze Schiller, at Equinox. Her energy is contagious and I always feel amazing after working out with her. When I told her I need to be camera ready in a few weeks she kicked my ass! Thank god! She helps me with everything from motivational speaking, to form, to working my personal problem zones, giving me a mix of strength and cardiovascular training. As well we talk about diet and how you need to eat for your desired body.

   First: You CANNOT starve yourself because it will work in reverse. Food is very important in a good workout routine. First thing I think is never call it a DIET! UUUGH I hate when people see me eat and are like OMG your eating that, but that isn't in your diet?!  One time this guy met me and said "so I hear all you eat is carrots." WHAT!? This really gets under my skin, I think  that's a lot of how disorders can start. When people constantly comment it makes you really conscious of what they said.  I realize you can't let other people influence your WAY OF LIFE. Since when is eating healthy being on a diet?- That should be considered normal. I think fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grains should all be incorporated in your food every day. Just stay away from processed food, its common sense, if its all chemicals and unnatural why would you put it in your body for nourishment? If you don't have the ingredients in your own kitchen you shouldn't allow it in your body. Another thing I put in my head is why do we eat? Well, we eat for energy.- I eat certain foods according to how much I am doing that day and when I need energy. There are so many ways to lose weight and tone up, but in the end Healthy Clean eating and Healthy Exercise is the best and most effective feel good "Diet."
          
  I have a lot of really beautiful dresses to wear on camera and the last thing I want to do is being self conscious, so the second I feel an urge for that late night snack, I say well the snack will be there tomorrow so whats the rush!

Woman have a lot of pressure to look thin because of society. You don't need to be skin and bones, it doesn't look as good as we think. What looks good is someone who is confident in your own skin, so take time for yourself, do a body scrub and stretch, breath and enjoy yourself because this is who you are.

Thanks to my Trainer motivating me to get going, I learned I can motivate myself by making healthy life choices. I notice when I feel good it is easier to keep up a good attitude but when I'm not feeling my best its harder to get back on track because it puts added stress where it is not necessary. I had a great day with Linze today and I am feeling confident in my body so I thought it is a good valid topic to help out my fellow ladies. I have learned A LOT about fitness so please let me know if anyone would like some advice. I am not a dietitian or anything but I have accumulated a large amount on knowledge in these areas and it feels waisted keeping it just for myself. I want to share it!

My Little Red Dress looks great now! Thanks Linze
