Where I live, it is still winter (Yeah, with a lot of snow). And for this friday post I thought I would do a top 5 on my winter essentials. It is not only gloves and scraf ;) 



2. Kate Spade Umbrella
3. Starbuck Tumbler
5. Gloves

1. Alway though it is fun to have a little bit of gold on your key chain. And it makes it easier to find your keys, yah !
2. Sometimes it is snow, sometimes it is rain... Either way you can save your look with this awesome Kate Spade Umbrella. Who said rain wasn't fashion ?
3. Coffee addict or not, to keep you warm this tumbler is awesome (in 2 ways): It keeps you drink hot and the tumbler is hot ! You can have a hot coca, a tea or coffee in it !
4. So to travel light, here is a perfect card holder to put in your purse or in your coat pocket.
5. Last but not least, keep your fingers warm with these fabulous gloves : Warm & Trendy, perfect combination for winter.

Super Bowl Time !



Hey everyone !!!

So it is Super Bowl week, and the ones who know me knows how much I love football ! Sunday will be like Christmas :) :)

Super Bowl gathering means finger food and alcohol time ! So I was thinking about that and it is totaly possible to enjoy this night and still eat healthy :) I have some healthy receipe you can do for this night.

Veggies plate



So to start good and be a little bit full, you should eat vegetables first.
Cut every vegies you like : Cucumbers, carrots, mushrooms, brocoli, peppers, celery etc.
To add more fun; make your own dip, here is one of my favourite.

Onions Dip  

Ingredients:

1 big sweet onion chopped
2 table spoon of olive oil
1/2 tea spoon of garlic
3/4 cup of greek yogurt (Or Plain Yogurt Or Sour Cream Light)
3/4 cup of mayonaise (use the light one)
Salt and pepper

Directions:

In a pan, cook the onions in the olive oil during 15 minutes.
Add salt and pepper
Put the garlic and cook for an additionnal 1 minute
Put everyting in a bowl and after in the fridge for at least an hour
After that add the yogurt and mayo
Mix everything together

Enjoy with your veggies :)


Guacamole & Chips


You can also make your own guacamole to eat with some Tostitos Chips.
Here are some good example to choose (Remember eat this with moderation).
For a more healthy way to eat your guacamole you can take a pita and put it 5 to 10 minutes in the oven at Broil and make chips out if it by cuting it. 

Guacamole

Ingredients:

3 to 4 avocado (Make sure it is ready to eat, it should bit a little bit soft when you push on it)
2 tomatoes in small dice
1 red onions chopped
1/4 cup of Cilantro chopped (if you like)
1 Table spoon of lemon juice 
Some drops of tabasco or Sriracha

Directions: 
Mash the avocado (without the skin and core)
Mix the tomatoes, onions cilantro, lemon juice and tabasco.
Enjoy :)

New Year, New Start

Hi everyone,

so it is January and I know that everyone have on their resolutions list for this year :

Go to the gym or
Train more Or
Get back in shape or
loose an amount of pounds or
Start a sport (ex: running) etc.




It doesn't matter what you want to achieve I think that putting it on your to do list is a good step forward. Sincerly, it is the best gift you can do to yourself. You only have one life, why not enjoy the most of it.

I want to help you be motivated to accomplish your resolution and I really hope it will become more than a resolution, that it will be a new lifestyle.

After I lost my weight last year, I was kind of ''bored'' to go to the gym 3-4 times a week, and I want to help you also with that.

So the next few posts will be on these subjects but for now you can go read my post on Weight Lifting for dummies & Changing Your Lifestyle & How to stay motivated it will guide you for starting your resolution and give you a lot of my tips.



My transformation



Enjoy !
If you have any questions, feel free to ask !

How to Survive Christmas !

Hi all,


so Christmas season comming and this is the bardest time of the year to keep your weight. It is that way since there is a lot of parties which include food and alcohol; you get out of your routine, you skip your workout and eat and drink more.


So here is some of my tips: 



  • Do you party at your place: This way you can cook healty and since you have a lot to do you won't have time to drink !
  • Drink a glass of water between your drinks 
  • Eat an healthy lunch before your party, this way you won't be so hungry and you will eat less junk food. 
  • Control yourseflf : Ask yourself if you are really hungry !
  • Last but not least, do not forget to go to the gym :) 

Don't focus just on your weight because this time of the year you can let loose a little ! 
I wish you all a mery christmas :) 
Stay tuned to see the pictures of my Christmas Party !!!!
