Are you REALLY getting enough protein?

A funny thing I have noticed is this myth that women are not suppose to consume protein or they will "bulk" up the truth couldn't be further from this myth.
Protein aids in building lean muscle tissue giving you that smooth touchable lean legs and arms.
A high protein diet can actually help you decrease body fat and tone the entire body while having more energy!
A general rule for protein consumption for lean muscle mass is half your bodies weight in protein.
So say I weight 105
I should shoot for around 52 grams per day.

seem like a lot?

Not really! with all the awesome shakes out there and a well balanced diet its very easy to hit the targets you set for yourself.

Some of my favorite protein based foods are:
-Herbalife Chicken soup (good for winter or when you have a cold) containing 16 grams of quality protein) you can buy directly from me at celia.cavalli@gmail.com
-Chicken breast cooked or grilled not fried.
-Formula one shakes from Herbalife with almond milk about 15 grams for 2 scoops
-Syntha 6 protein powder also tastes great and is good post workout :)

Quote of the day.

Self doubt

It's something everyone deals with. Even that perfect girl or guy who sat by you in math class who you always thought was confident and secure had problems with self image and self esteem. We all do. And it's hard to truly love yourself when you pick so hard at something you don't have total control over. 

I had one of these days this week where I completely tore myself apart. Nothing was good enough. At all. I wished I was better at things as we all do. 

I took on too much and was killing myself because I couldn't catch up and conquer it all. 

I blamed myself for being tired when I didn't have enough hours in the day. I had to choose what was most important to me. 

But that's really the beautiful part about being different is we all have our strong skills then we have the ones we can choose to work on and develop. I found my biggest fault was giving up immediately if I didn't think I was good at something or could learn it. Or taking on too much and spreading myself thin to the point where I could rip at the smallest scrap. 

It's unhealthy. It's the over achiever, type A fault. 

So this week I had the flu and fell behind and completely lost it and blew up at some of my closest friends because I had stressed myself to the point of delusional. 

I had finally got back to lifetime today to do my second workout for the day and a beautiful, very fit woman came up to me and asked if she could work in on my machine I was on. We ended up talking and she has done many many shows and is going for her pro card. She asked what show I was going to do and I looked at her shocked since I feel fat and out of shape from being sick and told her I was training for my first comp ever. She told me I looked almost ready for the stage and would kill it. In that moment I realized I push way to hard on things that do take time&that weren't as bad as I assumed. 

Sometimes we just need to take a step back and realize life is a blessing and everyday that you get to do what you truly love is amazing. Not to take for granted, not to feel bad about but to just smile knowing you did your all.

2011 heading on a run, I was so tiny and little!!

My old blog...Repost!

So a few years back and still as sassy and smart as I am today I went through some troubles with close friends...as we all do. I wrote a blog about it and stumbled across it and actually took it to heart and realized how sometimes we can become so clouded with anger that we forget to breathe and realize life goes on and that this isn't the end of the world, or your friendship for that matter.

We all make mistakes and sometimes they hurt others but forgiveness and moving on is like taking the high road in a rain storm...you forgo going through all the mudslides and dirt& afterwords don't have as much sh*t to clean up.

so here was my blog post from 2008 or whenever haha

I had a really bad experience this week with an old friend that made me kind of bummed and feeling super betrayed.

Have you guys ever had a friend who you thought you could confied everything in and truely trusted as a best friend only to find them spilling your guts to other people and tossing your buisness on the slush infested streets?
If you have you probably know how hurtful it is to have someone you trust and love go behind your back for NO reason other than to gossip and share your personal buisness. What to do in this situation? hmmmm...tough call because obviously you want to forgive your so called best friend but you also maybe aren't over the fact that they pretty much wrecked your trust for no reason at all other than to have something juicy to gossip about. Some friend huh...

Well I am someone who was taught to believe in second chances. I believe that we are human and we make mistakes and sometimes for no good reason at all. Maybe we find ourselves in a selfish moment where we do something out of character that we could possibly regret for years to come. If it happened once chances are you learned your lesson and are going to better your situation by making sure you don't find yourself doing the same things over again. Sometimes even though its super hard we have to let friends go, since thier own selfishness can't allow them to be genuinly happy for your accomplishments and your own happiness.
If you ever find yourself in this situation as I have a few times, sometimes its best to think it over and think about what this person means in your life. How have you grown together? and if you haven't its maybe time to grow apart because its not healthy for either of you to stay in a jelous toxic relationship.
Why is it so easy for us to dump guys who betray us but forgive a friend endlessly for making the same lame apologies for a overly rerun, hurtful mistake. Do yourself a favor and love yourself enough to know when its time to put an end to high school drama and unnessasary complications.
This is not meant to mean or spiteful, its just the truth about what I have gone through and experienced. I hope its not the same situation for any of you guys and if it is keep your pretty head held high and stand up for yourself. And know that I'm always here for you if you ever need to talk.

Im back!

After a week of having the flu I am feeling good to go again.

Me and my type A self have a hard time with sitting around waiting to feel better so during my stint with the flu I was working everyday but 2 and hit the gym for cardio twice...crazy I know but thats just how I do it.

I am super amped to get back in the gym. Nothing is worse then a set back of a week of not working out or eating right when you are on the road to winning some hardware (hopefully!) so I am very happy to be healthy and back at it! Last night I pulled out my 6pack fitness bag and dusted it off (ok it hasn't been THAT long but its been a while due to my constant being in a rush) and am ready to get back to having my meal prep time and make sure I stay on track with this and kick some a$$ in the gym!

Hope everyones week was great :)

Recently I decided to take on one of my new years resolutions of doing my first ever fitness competition.
After a year of slacking on my fitness and getting into the worst shape of my life I am so READY for this. I enjoy pushing myself to extremes to see results that don't come easy or fast.
I will be updating my blog with different fitness related things and what its like to go through the prep for my first competition.
Ill post some pics of my before and then a few progress pics throughout my prep.

I hope you guys enjoy it :)

XOXO
