Here’s a look into my eating and workout style, and what works for me. I have learned lots of the years, and through my own experience, and watching others, I have discovered that many women miss the mark in how many calories they eat, the kinds of food they eat, and how they workout. I like to eat real food, and I like to eat often. My workouts are short and intense, and I only have 3-4 sweat sessions each week.

NOTES: Normally I workout hard on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and then possibly again on Saturday or Sunday. I enjoy walking or yoga as alternative workouts, and believe 3-4 30-45 minute workouts is more than enough to change your body. You do not need to waste 1+ hours in the gym, 6 days per week, to change your body, and in fact, this can cause injury and hold you back from success.
