So I posted this picture last week on the facebook fanpage
As you can see it shows a lady that went from 127lbs to 136lbs and is clearly smaller, tighter and more defined.
Since you’re a reader of this blog I’ll assume you know the “how” but do you know the “why”?
Well let me go over both briefly and simply. [Read more…]
When you first start off on your mission to drop some L-B’s the most impacting factor is the calorie deficit you create. You need to burn more than you take in.
Side note: In the beginning it really is that simple. As you progress, lose more weight, get leaner and more fit, sometimes more manipulation is needed but for the sake of this post, let’s just talk about you being a beginner or intermediate exerciser.

A couple of weeks ago I asked you what you wanted me to blog about next and one popular one was quick workouts you could do at work. So I made some for you.
There are 3 different workouts one to fit every type of workplace. But don’t stop at the office. These are also great anytime, quick little calorie burns to help you reach your goals that much faster and to just leave you feelin’ good. [Read more…]
The two biggest “challenges” my clients often face when they are trying to stick to a plan to get lean, as far as nutrition goes, are alcohol and sweets. Sometimes one or the other, sometimes both.
That’s why during the last Skinny Jeans Transformation Challenge, I challenged the teams to come up with healthy desserts under 200 calories per serving that were made up of a majority of whole foods (meaning minimal processing), contained at least one “super-food” and tasted good enough to satisfy the urge to grab a jumbo cookie, brownie or bowl of ice-cream (you do get those too right? It’s not just me?…..).
Well they came up with 3 and I’m finally sharing them with you today (Hint: The ice pops are PERFECT for these hot summer days). [Read more…]
Today I have two gifts for you, one for every single person reading this and one for 15 Booty Boot Camp newbies.
First up, tracking your progress is a key element in making sure that you reach your goals on time and exactly as planned.
Today I’m sharing with you my 30-day progress tracker so you can chart your progress from day 1 to day 30. In it I share exactly what methods of tracking you should use and why. There are also step-by-step directions on how to do it and a place for 30 days worth of pictures and measurements. You can print it up and start using it today!
A gift for you: 30-day-progress-tracker
Next; last week we moved into our new 3,000 sq ft facility and we are having a great time utilizing all the new space. While the official grand opening is not for a few months, I’ve decided to have an unofficial grand opening right now and invite 15 women to come lose weight and tone up with us.
I’ve spent the last few weeks developing my ‘Weekend Warrior Weight Loss’ program to help you drop 6-12lbs in the next 30 days. That is an entire jean, skirt or dress size! While most people are giving in to the lazy days of summer you could go into Sacramento’s Indian summer looking amazing.
And the best part is it is F.ree…… but only for 15 ladies.
Here are the details:
Would you even know what to do with yourself if you were 12lbs lighter in 30 days? Maybe you’d take yourself to the mall for some shopping or maybe take yourself shopping in your own closet cause you can get into some of those too tight outfits that have been sitting there for-Evvvveeerrrr.
As I’m sure you’ve realized this is kind of a crazy program for me to give away for free. I’ve put hours and hours into the development of it and I could easily charge at least $97 for it (and I just might in the near future and it’ll be well worth it) but since I’m super excited about my new space and probably a little delirious from all the long hours that went into getting it ready, for the next 6 days, it’s my gift to you…..but only for the first 15 committed action takers.
To make sure I get the best group possible answer these questions:
1. Are you new to Booty Boot Camp? This program is to introduce women who have never tried Booty Boot Camp to the program.
2. Check your schedule, can you attend either the July 30 or August 6th Saturday workout at 8:30am to have your initial pictures and measurements taken.
3. Still looking at your schedule; make sure you can attend at least 3 of the 4 (or 5) Saturday workouts between now and August 27th.
4. Take a look at yourself in the mirror; do you see some things you’d like to change in the next 30 days and just as important, do you see a woman that is determined to get it done?
If you can answer YES to the above 4 questions then give my assistant Sarah a call at 925-321-5053. She will reserve your spot, schedule your first workouts so we can take your measurements and pictures and she will make sure that you receive the menus and at-home workouts in time to get started.
Here are your action steps:
1. Call Sarah and reserve your spot. Don’t procrastinate there are only 15 spots. 925-321-5053
2. Print up your 30-day-progress-tracker and bring it with you to your first Saturday workout.
Today is the PERFECT day to get started.
Before reading this any further, take a second and look down at your body. Hopefully you see lots of changes from your regular exercise program and have a few things to feel proud of. However, for most of us, there are still those nagging things that we’d like to address; a little extra belly fat left over. Maybe a little more thigh spread than we’d like. Perhaps you’ve lost a lot of weight but you still want/need to lose some more. Ok, have you identified some of your goals?
Here is the truth. I’ve tried it, tested it on me and hundreds of others. My friends have tried it, my colleagues all over the world have tried it. Every angle has been addressed, every method tested. And this one truth does not change…..
YOU CANNOT OUT-EXERCISE A BAD DIET
IF YOU WANT RESULTS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A NUTRITON PLAN……AND STCK TO IT.
. (that means period)
In just 18 days it will be officially summer. I’m pretty sure the weather will catch on eventually, but until it does, just think of all this weird gloomy stuff as an extension on the time you have to get your summer body on.
This coming Monday, June 6th my 14-day Fat Flush starts and it’s gonna help a lot of women get going in the right direction, and you should be one of them.
I’ve been spending the last few hours creating the nutrition plan that will go with the 2 weeks of Fat blasting workouts and I wanted to share two of the recipes with you.

If you are reading this and you are one of my clients then you know about a personal health struggle I dealt with last year into early this year. If you are not one of my clients, then let me sum it up for you in 2 sentences: I had the worst possible case of Valley Fever (a respiratory fungus infection) you can get, it spread throughout my body for over 18 months and caused all kinds of health problems. While I was going through all of this I was physically unable to work out AND due to some early misdiagnosis, I was under extreme mental distress because I thought I had been dealt a near death sentence.
I am happy to say, I was properly re-diagnosed, have been on medicine for 3 months now and am at about 90% of normal.
I’m telling you this because during all this, I’ll admit it…I put on some weight. I’m human. But now that I’m feeling pretty darn fantastic I have been on a mission to get back to my old self and my old body…. the body I had a couple of years ago before all this drama started. The body that actually fits the clothes that are in my closet (can you relate?). I am 100% determined and dedicated and I have lost 15lbs in the last 3 weeks. [Read more…]
Far too often fitness is presented as complicated and confusing.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Being fit comes from living the following simple everyday practices:
Yesterday we talked about the importance of portion control cause at the end of the day it really is about calories in and calories out.
I wanna show you some of my favorite done-for-you portion control snacks cause I’m sure you’ll agree that some things are harder to “control” than others (mmmmmm……peanut butter).
With these things you can snack and stay right on track with your portions or indulge in some treats without guilt.
