Healthy Tips for Eating Out

EATING OUT this weekend? 





I have eaten  out at a lot of beautiful and amazing restaurants, however it is important you only do this once or twice while trying to change your lifestyle and health, and defiantly not all the time. 






There are things you must know to make eating out easy and not allow it to effect your results while on the program.


Here are my tips I do to staying on track.


✔️I order an entree rather than a main


✔️Order 2 small entrees for your meal. It could be a side of greens and a salad


✔️Choose gluten free, dairy free - especially when going to a wedding/event make sure you put your request in.


✔️Let the waiter know you are on a special gluten free plan and not allowed and dairy or gluten, this will keep you safe while eating out. 


✔️Ask for ALL  sauces on the side. That way you have control of what it is and how much you use.


✔️Opt for greens greens greens! The more green you eat while out the better.


✔️Order side Salads 


🤔Now dessert is tricky because not many offer the Raw desserts, so my tip is to order a camomile (or peppermint) tea with a side of honey. 


  • The herbal tea keeps you calm and released whole around friends eating their mud cakes, and cream. 
  • Choose the healthiest restaurant or cafe possible, if drinking try to add water in between or ask for hot water and lemon.
Lastly it is important to remember when eating out with fiends and family to relax and enjoy while being in control of the choices you make, if you happen to be challenged with less choice, then relax and enjoy and get RIGHT BACK ON TRACK THE NEXT MEAL OR NEXT DAY, I usually would do a greens juice and turmeric juice day the very next day with apple cider shots and turmeric tea. 

Have a great weekend!

Yoga Inspired Fitness Transformation

Bikini Mama Shape & Shred 
 




Lean down, uncover your abs and cultivate a healthy lifestyle practice you love with my new highly effective body empowerment program designed to melt stubborn inches off your waistline, rejuvenate your body, mind and soul and get you back in control~ FAST! NOW! 
 
 
Are you living your life feeling stressed? 
I know what that can feel like! I have been there before. 





 
THE FACT: If you are stressed you SIMPLY will NOT lose weight easy, as stress hormones program the body to store fat, especially around the stomach area, and for women this is a stubborn hurdle. 
 
According to statistics, chronic stress is the root cause of 90% illness, disease and weight gain. 
 
 
Do you eat when stressed? Or over eat? Listen up!




 Stress makes us stress eat, turning to sweets, artificial  sugar or alcohol to self soothe, burns us out, robs our life force, and depletes our energy so by the end of the day we have no 
Self motivation left. Your day can throw a lot at you! Work stress, family stress, boyfriend stress, life stress.. just stress in general. Howwell you respond to theadversity - both physically, emotionally and mentally can depend a lot on what you are eating and how you eat it.

 
The good news is through creating a healthy lifestyle with stress busting techniques that I have created over the past 7 years on my online program, health retreats and by educating you eating a diet that is plant based and healing, you can undo decades of stress from the body and mind, just like o have done drop inches of belly fat quickly and easily, and restore your peace of mind and body confidence.
 
My program is not just for Mama's it's IDEAL for you if:

Are feeling stressed or have anxiety
 
Want to become a Mum and fall pregnant

You have 5 kg -30 kg to lose and you want it gone fast! 
Sonia shed 33 kg   & Ann shed 21kg  our very first success stories did this. 




Or you want to fine tune your body

 

 
You always feel bloated even when you eat healthy.


Your body is starting to show  signs of increased aging, hormonal related weight gain, and lowered immune system. 


You have gone through some intense kind of trauma or life circumstance and haven't been the same since (divorce, job loss, moving, health crisis)this was also me! 

You have tried all sorts of diets, training, personal trainers and you have "weight loss resistance"~ especially inches around your middle,
Or lacking muscle and want to learn how to sculpt your body with a new sexy, strong, leaner and   muscular shape.
 
Many of my members relate to 

✔Over dieting and not eating carbs, getting no real change 
 
It's hard to turn your busy mind off at night and it's affecting your sleep
 
You are feeling  a little dis-empowered in your body than a few years ago. 
 
You need a structured plan that gives you results, addresses stress factors, lifestyle factors, healthy eating, inspiring exercises, gives you results and you need them FAST!
 
Welcome To The BIKINI MAMA ~ Shape & Shred 10 week coaching program. Where you have fun learning how to finally succeed with health and wellness, combat stress & finally get a weight loss solution for life.



This program focuses on regulating what is called the HPA axis (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal) through the power of Yoga & Meditation.

When the HPA is unregulated, you churn out too much cortisol, the belly fat storing hormone, which results in that bloated tummy fat, feeling like you're living with anxiety & constantly racing from task to task, feeling wound up and wired but tired and can't fully relax, irritable, mood swings and struggle to lose weight even while eating healthy. 



 
You will learn how to take your whole mind, body and lifestyle into your self care and weight loss management routine, you will learn how to empower yourself with the solution to see the weight come off, you will feel your waist shrink every day, your peace of mind return back to harmony, and regain your sense of self love and nourishment.
 
 
I have personally practiced these techniques and structure most of my life, for over  the past 20 years. My program has blended the most powerful tools together that work, from holistic techniques including: 

Nutrition, teaching you how to eat for energy, build lean muscle and inner health, supplements, lifestyle factors

✔Yoga Inspired Fitness plus Weight Training Workouts




Meditations to help you relax and feel sensuous & radiant again, feelings of inner happiness and peace.
Powerful weekly affirmations to help shift your negative mindset and increase a higher states of being

 MY STORY 
 
My own  journey of transformation started when I was around 26 years old when I was owner operator of two highly successful  Hair and Beauty Salons. I had just completed a Personal Training course while taking 9 months out of my life in Queensland after escaping a toxic relationship. It was a time of my life where I was doing really well in my career but working over 70- 80 hrs per week, I had an abundance of cash flow but my health and happiness was not great. I was addicted to work.  I was at the time feeling sluggish after work , out of balance, burnt out, toxic, binge drinker, fluctuating weight and obsessed with body image and always dieting and restricting  foods and often fasting all day without food. 
After studying my personal training and returning back to my salons feeling refreshed and excited to learn how to build muscle and put into practice everything I had learned while studying. The fear of lifting weights and looking bulky was gone. I teamed up with my cousin John, who soon became my mentor, friend and coach for my very first fitness competition. I placed 2nd in my very first competition and then went on to win the South Island Championships INBA Figure Shaping, which is now like Bikini Model today. 

I then went on to Nationals and placed 2nd. I wanted that National Title so much  but I had to put an end to the addiction of competitions and focus on preparing my body for my very first baby. 


While I was competing I stumbled across a yoga class. From that very first class, I knew I wanted to become a Yoga Teacher. It wasn’t until 10 years later that I studied Yoga Iynegarin Sydney and Bikram Hot Yoga in  Los Angeles. Yoga helped my find balance while running and managing my salons, competing in Fitness Competitions and becoming pregnant with my first child. I embraced my pregnancy so much I set up a Yoga room at home and incorporated the meditation relaxation. It was then I realized I had been running my life on stress and cortisol. That was almost an addiction to the stress and pressure. Yoga taught me to breathe deeply and manage anxiety I didn’t realize I even had. 
 
Yoga helped me maintain balance while competing and a healthy pregnancy. After childbirth I incorporated both exercise to get back in to shape and feel strong again. 
 



 I continued my studies in Yoga intensively and read many books related to the journey of 
mind/body meditative techniques. This spurred her onto a path to learn and grow in service of helping others get fit and healthy and healing myself and others.
I have over 10 years teaching  experience teaching yoga and meditation and  personal weight loss coaching,published three health and nutrition books,  working with thousands of women around the world, holistic nutrition, diverse forms of Yoga and weight training.

Mint Falafel & Quinoa Couscous







How are you? 



It’s been a while since I have touched based with you! I was creating more yummy healthy recipes recently and thought I would  pass on one of my yummy recipes from The Power of Living Raw for you. The family will love it. 

The year has kicked off and already we are in February. Such a beautiful time of the year. It is always a fun month for me and my girls with our birthday so close together and many friends also share birthdays around the same time and on the same day. 

I am keeping myself busy this year in Sydney with updating the Bikini Mama and the NEW Shape and Shred 10 week coaching programme. 

I am currently leading a group of women through this programme and every excited of their transformation and goals.

 I love this job so much and wanted to let you know my coaching is going from strength to strength. The NEW Shape and Shred is designed to get you results even quicker while I keep my finger on the pulse of your coaching. Its motivating and supportive from week 1 - 10. Today the team got a very special Live Chat while I shared for the very first time my in depth story of How I recognised my own unhappiness and HOW I pulled myself out. It was a 35 min story to help inspire my team. I share some very personal and in depth stories how toxic my life was in my 20’s 26 years ago!

The testimonials are rolling through and I can hardly keep up with updating the stories on my website. But if you get some time check out some of the recent stories. 

I am also very busy teaching Yoga in Sydney and in my local community, Mosman and Balmoral Beach, many of my sessions are now Private coaching sessions.

The Turmeric Tonic is going well and slowly sharing this healing juice with more and more people.


Mmmmmm speaking of Turmeric Tonic, can you just imaging the tonic going nicely with this recipe below?!!!

My brother likes to add sparkling water to his and dare I say it a drop of lemonade… ! I think he thinks he is doing something good for his body by drinking it even if he adds SUGAR!!!

My Dad has had is Hip operation and is recovering well, we are so blessed he could have a second chance at life and now is working hard to build up fitness and rid the tummy fat that piled on with not much movement, he was in a lot of pain for sometime.

Check out the Mint Falafel and  Quinoa Couscous Recipe below.

Mint Falafel and Quinoa Couscous

Learning to add herbs and spices to your food makes the Raw food journey so much more tastier. Falafel

CHECK OUT MAXENE STORY HEREMaxene contacted me 6 weeks before Xmas. She is now glowing and so happy she shifted the few kilos she struggled to move for years. Every time I bump into her in my community she is radiating and oozing more happiness and energy. Sorry but it’s true, when we shift a kilo or two it does add a bounce back in our step, I can really see this with Maxene, she is divine and gorgeous. Who said we have to get old and tired, and in pain. Maxene also drinks my Turmeric Tonic weekly.




In life, everything has timing, and for me that occurred 6 weeks ago when I bumped into Nicki Arthur in the locker rooms at my local gym.

 

I mentioned to her that I was constantly battling my 2-3 kgs weight gain which I wanted to rid and although I was quite vigilant during the week, after the weekends, I was back to square one!

 

Her wonderful face lit up and she said….”I can help you!!’ 

She told me that on her program we just needed to tweak certain things for the desired outcome.

 

Tweak she did and 6 weeks to the day, I have lost 4 kgs!!!

 

It was so easy and doable and her vivacious spirit and motivational enthusiasm 

kept me on track, with weekly catch-ups, and weekly emails with recipes and shopping lists.

 

I feel amazing and love the fact that I can slip easily into clothes and have a new sense of eating properly.

 

I can only praise Nicki and would highly recommend her to anyone, as I already have.
