QUICK WORKOUT

How long do you think you need to get your body into shape???????

There are so many women out there that think they have to spend hours in the gym every day to loose weight. The answer is NO!!!!

Organising your workouts and having a great program is the ultimate key along with a healthy diet.

Try working out for 30 mins 5 times a week.

Schedule your routines and do them with minimal break time in between.


I try and co ordinate all my workouts so that I am only spending a maximum of 45 mins working out.

Finishing a workout and getting on with your day is the best feeling. It's knowing that you have done something to benefit yourself.

FRESH HERBS


The one thing I love doing in the morning is running my hands through all the fresh herbs and smelling them. They are so fresh and great to use in all meals including a detox smoothie.

I have grown a bunch of things including, mint, parsley, oregano, thyme, basil and rosemary.




HEALTHY FOOD

Eating healthy and clean eating can sometimes be challenging especially when your on vacation. 
Every night I give my kids dessert after dinner and most nights that dessert consists of fresh fruit.
I have posted a few pics of some of the foods that I love 



 I love cooking tradition Lebanese food for my family. This pic is green beans with mince meat in a tomato based sauce. Next to it, some white rice 





 I always allow myself to indulge on a some sweet stuff from time to time.

Eating out while on vacation.... there are always healthier eating options even on vacation
