Diet

I finally realized my mission in life…..Inspire and Change Lives!

Only a person who has been there and has faced the same challenges and struggles can truly understand the difficulty, physically and emotionally, of trying to lose weight. I have been there, FACED the challenges and OVERCAME the struggles, and I truly understand how difficult it is. It's never too late to get yourself in the best shape of your life!!

If I had the option to choose my dream job, it would have to be Chris Powell's on Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edition.

Helping others transform their lives and showing them that IT CAN BE DONE is my Ambition in life. This is something I am very passionate about.

"Making the Impossible, POSSIBLE!"


This must be the most asked question.
What did you do?

I would not call it a diet but rather a life-style change.
After being challenged by a friend of mine, WBFF fitness model Andrey Davidenko, and speaking with a few people on what I should eat, I chose a High Protein Diet with a Moderated Carb intake. I did not completely eliminate Carbs because they are a major source of our energy. I used the "little rule" If it was originally white in color, I removed these items from my diet. These foods consisted of rice, pastas, breads, crackers, and tortillas. When it came to eating Carbs, I would eat whole vegetables, whole fruits, and whole grain cereals. When eating out and ordering a salad, I completely ate it dry. Absolutely No Dressing! Dressing takes the HEALTHY out of the salad. I also stayed away from Ketchup and Mayonnaise. I completely removed sodas, juices and any other item that are not Water. I strictly drink Water!!

I allowed myself one cheat meal a week which usually fell on Friday Nights. When going out to dinner with friends, I would eat whatever I wanted, but sticking to water as my beverage.

When it came to Exercise, I stuck to straight Cardio. I began walking for 45 minutes a day and did so for at least 1 week. The following week I began jogging, working my way to where I completely jogged for the entire 45 minutes. I am currently running anywhere from 5 to 10 miles a day.

A YEAR LATER!


It was a night like tonight, exactly a year ago, that I took on the challenge and started my weight-loss journey. I honestly cannot believe that a year has gone by already! I am proud to say that today, I am 145 pounds lighter and in the best shape of my life. I continue to work hard every day inside and outside the gym, most importantly by making healthy eating decisions! I’m definitely not fit and built like all the fitness pros out there. By no means do I look like your ideal fitness person, but you better believe that I work just as hard as they do. I just want it to be made known that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. MENTALLY PREPARE YOURSELF AND SET FORTH ON YOUR JOURNEY WITH DETERMINATION, DEDICATION AND DISCIPLINE AS YOUR KEY PRINCIPLES. DON’T EVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT IT’S TOO LATE TO GET IN SHAPE OR THAT LOSING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WEIGHT WITHOUT SURGICAL MEANS IS IMPOSSIBLE! I lost all my weight by eating healthy and exercising. It’s a life-long lifestyle change and helping others reach their fitness goals is something I have grown super passionate about. The picture on the left, I titled “day 1” and the picture on the right was taken within the last week. When asked today "How will I celebrate?" I just simply replied, WITH AN AMAZING WORKOUT! Turn your dreams into reality and make your impossible, POSSIBLE!
