My Transformation Challenge: So it begins...

Since beginning Depoprovera in January 2013, I have be unable to drop a single pound. My weekly workouts consist of 5-6 days of weight lifting (split muscle groups) and 4-5 days of cardio (30-40 min sessions). Although I struggle daily with getting all my meals in, my macro-nutrients remain consistent. Yesterday I began taking Lo Loestren (low hormone dosage). Today I begin a more consistent diet & increased weekly cardio sessions. I will also be incorporating steam sauna sessions into my weekly regimen along with daily Apple Cider Vinegar tonics. Outside of my normal BCAA's and pre-workout thermogenic, I will be including a multivitamin and OMEGA3's.  GOALS : Purge body of toxins Increase metabolism Drop body fat by 5lbs Decrease body fat percentage by 2% This is my personal challenge. #JoinTheMovement and put yourself to the challenge. You're worth it and your body will thank you! #HealthierHappierStrongerYOU #HarmoniousMindAndBody Weekly progress pictures ...

Well, NEWS FLASH, you can't "take a break" from a healthy way of living; eating clean and exercising regularly, and expect not to regress! If you have been on a mission to revamp the reflection in the mirror and aren't seeing results, chances are, you may be missing a cr...

Does Microwave Cooking Diminish Nutritional Value of Food?

So my oven broke. Being the over-achieving Do-It-Yourself 'er that I am, I tried to fix it. In turn, I shorted out my stove top. BRILLIANT! I know.  Lesson of the Day : Don't Play With Electricity!   Needless to say, until my genius of a baby brother (who is 34-years old now...not so "baby") comes to my rescue, I am having to be as resourceful as possible in using my George Foreman Grill, Toaster Oven and Microwave. This has brought about the discussion of whether or not the Microwave Oven diminishes the nutritional value in foods cooked by way of the microwave. So...I GOOGLED it!  In short, the answer is NO! In fact, microwave cooking may preserve the nutrients in foods due to the shorter cooking times (exposure to heat). Here is the article that I found published by Harvard Medical School . If you have thoughts or comments, please feel free to comment below. Until next time...here is to a #HappierHealthierStrongerYOU
