TIP OF THE DAY: Pre-preparing your food is a tip highly recommend by health enthusiasts across the board, but this should not be confused with all pre-made food. Be a smart consumer! There are some great healthy food preparation service out there and there are a lot of really bad ones. Just because a chicken breast is premade and “looks” healthy, does not make it healthy. Do you know many stores inject their meat with sodium packed solutions to keep the meat juicy and tasty. Also, many of these options are covered in high sodium seasonings and sauces. What may appear to be a healthy chicken breast may actually be a rather unhealthy meal. For these reasons, I find it best to take two hours and make mass quantities of meals. I like to know exactly what goes into my food.

One of the top fears I hear regarding “bulk” is in the legs. As my legs have evolved through weight training, I’ve noticed a change in their composition. When my legs lacked muscle and had higher amount of fat, they appeared “wider” from the front and back views – with fat sitting on the insides of my thighs and on the side hip areas. However, through healthy eating and weight training, a reduction in body fat resulted in my legs appearing “smaller” from the front and back view and an increase in muscle was evident from the side view. Don’t let flexed pictures scare you! Build those muscles girls = curves in all the right places!
Daily Dose of Motivation: Don’t worry about others confusing your cute gym clothes, curled hair, or lip gloss for weakness. When you step into the gym, turn that beast mode ON!
