For those who don't like to eat a lot of meat (I am vegetarian also) you can get versatile with eggs. Omelets are an awesome way to get your protein in and your veggies. You can eat this for a breakfast, or a lunch or even a dinner!!!

Eat the egg yolks too. The whole things bout avoiding the yolks due to high cholesterol is #bs. The yolk contain additional protein, good fats and all all your fat soluble vitamins. The yolks are also a really potent course of choline helps with nerve transmission.

I was honoured to spend some time today with the amazing Lena Walther who is an activist for sex trafficking prevention with the focus on protecting girls and children. 
Her website is here: https://aipnv.org/ 
We planning on putting on some self defense workshops geared towards developing awareness and prevention and basic self defense skills standing up and on the ground directed at the parents and daughters. Sex trafficking is rife around the world hugely prevalent in Las Vegas and It’s important to know that it’s not as cut and dry as it seems. There is loads of manipulation involved and if you aren’t aware of it, your child could be getting roped into one of these situations. Lena explained that a lot of the ‘seduction process’ is via social media. 
Awareness is the first step and knowing the ‘signs’.

Parties, functions, travel and staying in bikini shape!

sophia mcdermott drysdale (2).jpg

I am loving the Summer and enjoying the pool, but staying in shape right now is an extra challenge because there are so many functions lately for me as well as extra travel and it is tough to stick to clean eating all the time. Staying put and sticking to the usual routine are when things are easy, but I find that these functions, parties and travel the are the test.

The key is to find balance. Living a life of complete restriction is not enjoyable. If you are at that function and want a cup cake, then have one. But maybe enjoy just the one. Stick to the other healthier options available - If there are healthier options. Sticking to smaller portions is also very important when keeping your diet in check.

If you are drinking, make sure to alternate a drink with a glass of water. This especaily important if you are out in the sun all day. Becoming dehydrated at a party while out in the sun all day is no fun at all.

If you are at a place where there is no healthy food available, then being super organized and bringing healthy food or snacks could save the day. Alternatively you could eat a healthy meal beforehand so you are less tempted to nibble on all the unhealthy food. I personally always have a Kind bar and a pice of fruit in my bag no matter what.

Feeling good in my own skin in a bikini is important but so is enjoying life in general so finding that balance is the key.
