My Pink Passion

By
For those who know me, knows that my favorite color is pink... So why not make it into a healthy drink... I actually tried my first pink juice @ Peeled juice bar and I found it to be very refreshing...


So I created my very own version of it but as a smoothie... I call it "Pink Passion"... The star ingredient of this smoothie are beets. YES!!! you heard it right BEETS!!!

Beets cleanses the liver, purifies the blood, it is also a anti-inflammatory, and a great source of iron.. And by my being anemic, this is a smoothie that I will benefit from drinking everyday.. I know some of you may think Beets, "YUCK"... But don't knock it 'til you try it... This is one smoothie that you will be wanting more of and it will also give you a boost of energy.



 Pink Passion Smoothie

1 small beet
Frozen Pineapples
1 pear
Fresh Ginger
Coconut Water


 Combine all ingredients in your blender until smooth and enjoy this beautiful concoction of pink passion... (If you all are wondering the pink color comes from the mixture of the beets with the pineapple). Drink one of these for a snack instead of an unhealthy snack and you will surely see the difference within your body... Enjoy!!!
OAN: Please go pink for breast cancer... Everyday is breast awareness, and all women should have a mammogram even if there isn't any family history. There are many websites that you can go on to make a donation, volunteer or even join some of the great marathons to help raise money for the cause...   One of them being Susan G Komen's website, where you can register for the upcoming 5K event on Mother's Day.

Flirty Girls 10 Reasons To Work Out in The Mornings

By
10 Reasons to Workout in the Morning     It can be challenging to make the time to exercise. But exercising in the morning is a wonderful way to create a positive routine and provides many added benefits beyond just keeping you fit.   1. Burn FAT instead of calories Get up, get a glass of water, and workout. No breakfast, no small bite beforehand. Do not take in a single calorie until you do cardio first. The reasoning behind this is when you exercise without eating, your body needs to tap into something for energy. Your body's first source of energy is glycogen but since this was depleted overnight your body must burn unwanted FAT to get you through your workout.   2. Better long-term results Over 90% of people who exercise *consistently*, exercise in the morning. Our bodies love routine. If you force yourself to get up when your alarm goes off, your body will thank you and pay you back.   Extra perk: People who exercise regularly earn 9% more income than people who don't.   3

Gotta Get Some Shut Eye

By
Have you ever had a day where it just feels like 24 hours isn't enough?. By the time you realize it, it's 1 o'clock in the morning and you have to get back up in 4 hours. Well, that was my day yesterday and it showed in my personal training session today. My trainer actually could tell in my workout that I didn't get any sleep and man did I feel it. I had no energy and I felt sluggish but I did the best that I could, which wasn't good enough. I went out after work to eat with friends and to see the movie "The Best Man Holiday" , which by the way is a must see for those who have not seen it yet. I loved it!!!... By the time I made it home and got myself together for bed, it was about 1:30a and I was back up @5am trying to get to my training session @ 6:30am and still ended up getting there 15 minutes late. An average adult needs between 7-9 hours of sleep every night, even though some of us can function off of 4-6 hours of sleep, eventually it will catch
