Making a choice about health and fitness is life transforming only when using the Exact Blueprint. I made a personal commitment to myself that fitness both of the body and mind, nutrition and a good supplementation would be a focal point of my personal life the minute I could no longer take the beating, the humiliation and the bullying I went through for most of my chillhood - at one instance, I was put, by twenty of my classmates, under a big gymnastic mat and everyone was jumping on me until I almost chocked, the teacher finally decided to stop them. I Immediately started to see a brand new world opening up to me after I identified how I trully felt and commited to become who I really wanted to be.
However, times have changed since then which leads me to think that today's biggest hurdle to building a fit and beautiful body and get in a great shape is the so-called "finess gurus" that are popping up like mushrooms. I'm sure you've been a little more than "suspicious" of those advertisers that sell everything from "instant abs and buns" to "all you can eat diets" as solutions to your fitness goals. Some claims are so wild that it really seem to insult anyone's intelligence, claiming that you could burn 20 pounds in 6 days. Do they really know how someone who is overweight and depressed feels like? I do! And many of my clients do too. We know that it is not only the body but the mind and the spirit that one has to connect with in order to make a difference.
To me, the many claims to change people's lives through some ridiculous programs sound outrightly "dangerous" and it is even illegal in some countries to make such a claim. America is a land of opportunities not a land of fools. Unfortunately many out there still fall into the trap and only discover too late that their first intinct was the right one; too good to be true! It's no wonder that most people are more confused about health and fitness than ever before.
In my opinion, it makes no difference if you're an advanced fitness adept, or a beginner, reaching your goals is going to take more than empty promises and false claims. No one should ever follow the fitness advice, or buy health-related products, from anyone who can't prove to me, they've stuck to a healthy nutrtion plan long enough, and have exercised with the intensity and dedication it takes to create a strong and beautiful body.
Not only I personally coached thousands to get and stay in shape for life but went from Rickets (a malnutrition disease) to Mr. World & Mr. Universe. I've traveled across the four continents and helped thousands from all walks of life who were committed to learn and apply the exact blueprint I teach. It took me over twenty years to finally put on paper what really helped me get where I am today. As I mentioned before, I went from Rickets to Mr. Universe and from personal trainer to top celebrity fitness coach. If you are committed to your health and fitness and are really serious to change, let me have the honor to share with you the exact blueprint. It is easier that you ever imagined, that I promise!

You Dance Too Fast
Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry-go-round, or listened to the rain lapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight, or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask,
"How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
Do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die'
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....Thrown away...
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Garden Lasagna
Most lasagna recipes call for pasta, fattening cheese and heavy meats - but not this one. Layers of eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes and low fat cheeses replace traditional ingredients with spectacular results. Compliment this light dish with a salad of mixed greens.
Servings: 4
Here's what you need...
- 1 medium eggplant, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 3 small zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 3 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup nonfat ricotta cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded low fat cheese
salt and pepper to taste - 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- Sprinkle of Italian seasoning
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Season eggplant and zucchini with salt and pepper. Coat a cookie pan with cooking spray and line eggplant and zucchini. Place in over for 15 minutes.
- Coat a 8" glass baking dish with cooking spray and cover the bottom with half of the eggplant and zucchini. Ladle half of the tomato sauce over the eggplant and zucchini and top with half of the tomato slices. Sprinkle the tomato slices with half of the basil and oregano. Spread half of the ricotta cheese over the tomatoes. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers once more.
- Bake for 20 minutes then turn oven to broil until the cheese is browned. Cut the lasagna into slices and garnish with Italian seasoning.
Nutritional Analysis: One serving equals 173 calories, 3.7g fat, 24.4g carbohydrate, and 13g protein.
Exercise at ANY Age
-700073.jpg)
So you've slacked off a bit and avoided exercise.
Maybe your job demands too much of your time or you simply fell out of the routine. I have news for you. Whether you've taken off one year, ten years or haven't exercised a day in your life - it's never too late to start.
You see there are problems with living a life devoid of exercise. Big problems. Your weight rises along with your blood pressure and cholesterol. Your muscles and joints degenerate at an astounding rate leaving you with daily aches and pains. Your body becomes weak, making you susceptible to all kinds of medical issues.
Why Should I Start Now? You've heard about the benefits that consistent exercise bring, but what if you haven't been consistent? Should you even start at all? This has been the subject of many medical studies and the results are unanimous:
Exercise helps improve your quality of life even if you start late.
Researchers are constantly finding new benefits to consistent exercise. It's no wonder that Dr. Robert Butler, of the National Institute on Aging, once said "If exercise could be put into a pill, it would be the single most prescribed medicine in the world."
Imagine if a pill could offer all of these benefits (without harmful side effects):

Imagine if a pill could offer all of these benefits (without harmful side effects):
- Substantially reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and osteoporosis
- Decreases the risk for stroke, colon cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure
- Helps to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight
- Contributes to healthy bones, muscles and joints
- Helps relieve anxiety and depression
- Promotes well-being and reduces stress
- Is associated with fewer doctor visits, hospitalizations and medications
- Helps prevent and treat chronic medical conditions associated with old age
- Increases energy levels and promotes sound sleep
- Strengthens immune system
I know that I would take that pill - wouldn't you? Exercise may not be something that you can gulp down with a glass of water, but it will offer you all of the above benefits that can greatly enhance your quality of life.
Excuses, excuses, excuses...
I know what you are thinking. Those benefits sound great, but I can't exercise because:
- Exercise is painful. Not if you do the type most suitable for you.
- Exercise is boring. Most people who exercise find it to be quite enjoyable.
- Exercise takes too long. It only takes 30-60 minutes a day.
- Exercise is confusing. Not when you work with a trained professional (me).
- Exercise if for young people. Studies have shown that exercise if for all ages.
Get Started the Right Way. Many people have started an exercise program only to quit days later. Now that you have decided that exercise may be worth your time after all, ensure your success with the following tips:
- Make a Commitment
You know the meaning and value of a solid commitment. It's in your blood. So don't view exercise as something you will merely try. You will only reap the true benefits of exercise when you stick with it.
A great way to reinforce your commitment is to solicit the support of your friends and family. Tell them how you plan to improve your health and quality of life through exercise - who knows, they may join you.
- Set Reachable Goals
This is an immensely important ingredient to your success. Don't start your exercise program with unreasonable expectations. If you expect to lose all of your unwanted pounds, drop your blood pressure and cure your joint pain all in one week then you will be sorely disappointed. Remember that it took years for your body to fall out of shape so it makes sense that it will take some time to regain it. The key to unlocking all of the benefits of exercise lies in one word: consistency. Only then will your body be transformed.
- Rearrange Your Schedule
They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. This may be because his schedule simply didn't allow for it. The truth is that as we age there is a tendency to become 'stuck in our ways.' The thought of rearranging your schedule may leave you a bit squeamish.
Remind yourself that exercise is worth your time and then think long and hard about your daily schedule. The fact is that you do have time to lend toward exercise - you simply need to find it. Set aside 30-60 minutes for exercise and then stick with it.
- Increase the Challenge
You should start your exercise program with the thought of easing into it. Since you haven't exercised in awhile your body will need to build up strength and endurance. Consider a car that has been sitting in your garage for years. You wouldn't turn it on and instantly slam down on the gas would you? You need to warm it up.
However, this warm up period should not last forever. Your body has an amazing ability to adapt to new challenges and will grow complacent when asked to do the same exercises over and over. When your routine begins to feel easy take that as a hint to increase the challenge.
I want to help you achieve all of the benefits that consistent exercise can bring you. Call or email today and together we will design an exercise program that will enhance the quality of your life.
Don't let another day pass you by. You deserve the good life. Take action now.
MIND OVER BODY
Know that dieting is not just what you eat. What are you really feeding your body? What is your mind feeding it? What is your spirit feeding it? This will all eventually show up in your physical state of being. The way you think and feel affect the way you look. Your fitness level is very much controlled by how you think and feel. Your body is a direct reflection of the inner soul. What are you really carrying around? It may be more than a few extra pounds. Blocking emotion and carrying negative thoughts can cause you to carry extra weight. Weight can actually be an armor built up to create a wall that actually keeps you from being who you really want to be. Break through that wall and you will begin to create the physical body you want to achieve. If our physical being is our car that we ride in, it is the mind and the spirit that drives it.You see most people think losing weight, looking great, and getting fit has to do only with exercise and diet and this is really only a tiny part of success-only a tiny piece of the puzzle. Its a behavioral pattern caused by a certain believe system or old conditioning.
What I'm talking about here is a process I developed of total health and fitness that includes physical, mental and physical aspects. I call it Mind Over Body. The biggest secret I've learned and the reason most people don't succeed in getting fit, losing weight or even achieving a happy contented life (and remember I've trained thousands) is that these people try to start from the outside-in (ego-thought causing certain behavioral patterns) rather than from the inside out (soul-energy).

Diets REALLY Don't Work!
For more than 20 years the media has bombarded us with a perpetual diet craze. An avalanche of fad diets are announced one after another as breaking news while producing zero true results.
Sure, you may lose 5, 10 or even 20 pounds on a fad diet...but you'll gain it all back and then some. How can I be so confident that your results will be short lived? It's actually a simple concept, and once you understand it you will be forever saved from the tortures of yo-yo dieting.
Fad diets saddle you with unreasonable calorie restrictions and some even cut out entire food groups just to produce that short lived drop in weight - a process that is actually harmful to your health. The fad diets also ignore one major component to shaping up: exercise.
You see, most fad diets operate on one age old premise: cut calories, cut calories, cut calories. By restricting the type and amount of food consumed the fad dieter usually sees an immediate drop in weight. If only it stopped there...
But it doesn't stop there. Life continues, and the fad dieter returns to their pre-diet eating habits - with one major difference in their body due to the sudden drop in pounds. Their calorie requirements have gotten smaller.
In practical terms this means that the dieter will begin gaining weight even though they are eating their normal pre-diet portions. And since exercise hasn't become a part of their routine, the unneeded calories will result in pounds gained. So what's a dieter to do? Find a brand new diet to follow - right? Wrong. There is a way to drop pounds and firm your body, but you won't read about it in the next diet book or hear it on the news. The solution to your fad dieting nightmare is a lifestyle change.
What is a lifestyle change? To change your lifestyle means to replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones, and to do so consistently. It isn't something you do for a week or two, only to revert back your old ways - a lifestyle change redefines who you are.
I know this is starting to sound like some heavy stuff, but hear me out. Changing your lifestyle from one that is unhealthy to one that is healthy will be the best thing that you ever do for yourself. Trust me, I help people like you make this change every day with amazing results.
Fact: The shape of your body is the direct result of your current lifestyle.
So how do I change my lifestyle? That is a great question, and the answer is actually easier than you might think.
Most people who are unhappy with their bodies are really only holding on to a few bad habits. Once these destructive habits are identified and then replaced with healthy habits their body naturally transforms from one that they loathe to one that they are proud of.
In other words, to get the body that you want simply determine your unhealthy habits and replace them with healthy ones. Here are the most prevalent unhealthy habits:

In other words, to get the body that you want simply determine your unhealthy habits and replace them with healthy ones. Here are the most prevalent unhealthy habits:
- The habit of inactivity. Failing to exercise on a consistent basis is one of the most destructive obstacles for your health and figure. (The key word here is consistent. If you aren't exercising at least 3-4 times each week then you own this habit.)
- The habit of overeating. Consuming calories in excess of your daily caloric needs is one of the main reasons that more adults are overweight today than ever before.
- The habit of empty calories. Filling your diet with foods that hold little to no nutritional value is a great way to expand your waist. (Hint: if a food item is made up of mainly sugar and/or fat consider it 'empty' calories.)
You can lose weight and improve both your appearance and your health.
You can look and feel great.
You can transform yourself into the person that you've always wanted to be.
Don't let another day go by that leaves you a slave to unhealthy habits. Take action now. Get your copy of my new book Mind Over Body: The Key to Weight Losss Is All In Your Head! it will help you recreate your lifestyle and redefine your body.
By the way, I should mention another deadly habit that destroys too many people's dreams. The habit of procrastination.
How many times have you told yourself that you will start eating healthy tomorrow? How many times have you promised that you would call me to start your personal training program? Each day that you succumb to the habit of procrastination is a day that pulls you farther and farther from your goals and get you closer and closer to FATNESS.
Break that nasty habit of procrastination -

More Q & A From Brave Mothers
LIParentSource.com has asked me a few questions during my blogger book tour for my new book, Mind Over Body, which I answered below.
1- There's been a recent movement towards the concepts of visualization and positive thinking, and mind over body as in your book. Opponents have claimed that these concepts have a "blame the victim" mentality. How can you differentiate between the two?
Re: Positive thinking...basically, one has a choice to either think "positive" or "negative", and you can only think one thought at a time. Choosing to think the positive thought will allow your day to run much more effectively - by keeping a positive attitude flowing throughout the day despite everyday challenges. Choosing to think the negativethought will also snowball throughout your day and make it much more difficult to handle the same challenges until you choose to think differently. Mentally and physically you can feel the effects.
Visualization is about clarity and concentration - you achieve your goals faster by focusing on what you want, which causes you to take actions that move you towards them.
Both are necessary to one's overall well-being.
2-There are so many fad diets and weight loss programs that exist, and people have tried so many of them at various times of their lives. If someone follows your methods of changing their lives to improve their health, will they have to keep working as hard to maintain these aspects as part of their lives, or do they at some point, become second nature?
Once the habit is changed it becomes a part of you; second nature. It takes consistency - about 21 days - to truly change a habit. Ultimately though, you will not think of it as working hard but rather of being whatever YOU choose to BE, DO or HAVE.
3-Do you believe that people can overcome serious health problems, such as disease, by embracing your methodology of mind over body?
You certainly overcome the horrible feeling attached to the constant negative thinking attributed to the dis-ease. It is scientifically proven that meditation, prayer, visualization and affirmation have helped people battling cancer. This has been true for thousands of years.

Change Your Thoughts And Your Body Will Follow
For many the summer months bring with them a harsh reminder of unmet fitness goals.While the toned men and slender women of the world put on their skin-tastic summer gear and proudly put themselves on display, those with jiggles and dimples would rather opt for a cover up and hang out under an umbrella.
So why haven't you met your fitness goals? Why must you go through another agonizing summer, turning your head as you pass by a dozen magazines showcasing skinny celebrities in bikinis? You should be enjoying your summer days without wondering which pair of shorts covers the most.
The truth is that anyone can get the body of their dreams...even you. And wouldn't it feel great to pull on your bathing suit without bracing yourself before looking in the mirror? You can turn your fitness dreams into reality-read on for the three things you need to begin achieving amazing results.
Your Mind
You may be wondering what your mind has to do with getting your body into great shape. In a single word, your mind has everything to do with getting the body of your dreams. Your mind will single handedly make or break your success.
How? Well, your mind works hard to reinforce the beliefs that you hold about yourself. If you think of yourself as a fat person, or an out-of-shape person, or just an average person then your subconscious mind will do everything in its power to keep you that way.It's like self-sabotage. However, if you begin to think of yourself as fit, healthy and attractive, then your mind will do everything it can to make your belief a reality.
*Take time everyday to visualize your new body and to focus on your goals.
Your Plan
Everyone who successfully sets out to lose body fat and achieve results does so by implementing a plan. Your plan is crucial to your success, picture it as a guiding map needed to find a new destination. Without it you are lost. Here are the 2 major parts to your plan:
1. Diet: They say you are what you eat, and that is never truer than while losing weight. Cut junk food from your diet and stick with fresh healthy foods instead. Eat small meals throughout the day containing protein, carbohydrates and minimal fat.
2. Exercise: Yes, you will have to break a sweat, but the good news is that once you make exercise a habit you will likely find it to be enjoyable - In fact, I know you will. It is important that you make exercise a part of your lifestyle, and not something that you do on random occasions. For maximal results exercise 4-5 times each week doing both cardiovascular and resistance training.
*Stick with your healthy eating plan and exercise routine-these are the building blocks to your success.
Your Determination
Determination is the one thing that will guarantee that you will lose weight, tone your body and feel better than ever. You have to want it-that's it. Thinking about it is not enough.
Now it's time for action! You have to want your dream body...more than you want that burger and fries.more than you want to skip your workout.more than you want that chocolate cookie.more than you want to sit on the couch.
The shape and size of your body is in your hands, and your hands only. I believe that you possess the kind of determination that it takes to change your body-you simply need to dig down deep enough within yourself to find it.
Fuel your fire by building a network of support in your life. Enlist friends, family and loved ones to encourage your efforts and to keep tabs on your progress. In fact, I would love to be a key player in your network of support-don't hesitate to call me or reply to this email to get me onboard.
Fitness is my passion and I can help make it yours too!
*Surround yourself with support and don't give up.I get excited when talking about getting you the body of your dreams-this is what I do everyday for my clients.
Making the decision to transform your body is something to celebrate. Dont't wait a second more and find out what it takes to see, feel and get the body of your dreams.

1.I doubt I'm the first person to tell you that I don't enjoy exercise--primarily finding and making time for it. Is the secret just finding something I really enjoy doing, or is there another way to fit exercise into a busy mom's schedule?
What really inspired my clients to both finding the time to exercise and finding what they truly enjoyed doing, is getting to know why they wanted to be fit and healthy. They've connected to their "true core desire" which emanates from the inner you. Once you can see and feel the YOU you want to become, nothing and no one will stop you from achieving your goals. You must first see it in the screen of your mind. Always think of the end result rather than the work it takes to get there.
2. I love to eat healthy foods, and I've been successful with losing weight and maintaining weight loss when I focus on eating lots of whole grains and fruits and vegetables without worrying about counting calories. But I also overeat, and I love eating ice cream and fried foods, too. Is the key to eliminate those food for which I'm not controlling my intake, or is balance possible when I'm trying to reenter a healthy lifestyle?
You can eat a balance diet and still have a "cheat day" every couple of weeks, it's perfectly fine. Just make sure you don't have more than one cheat day every couple of weeks.
3. I love the title for your book, because I know that the times when I've gotten serious about exercise and a healthy diet have definitely gone hand in hand with a certain mindset. The surprising thing is that I haven't been motivated when I was thinking, "I'm so fat and out of shape that I have to do something." It was when I felt better about myself (regardless of what I actually looked like), that I had the motivation to do better. How do we get over the obstacle of thinking that we are never going to be successful?
You must accept any situation you are currently going through then visualize a better one. You must BECOME successful first in your mind in order to attract the abundance of health, wealth and happiness that is already within you. Thinking negative about your health, wellness or wealth blocks the natural flow of your birthright to achieve them. What you see on the outside is merely a manifestation of what you have created in your mind.

Mind Over Body Book: Q & A From Mothers Around The Globe: Part 1
Hi Everyone,
I will be posting questions about my book Mind Over Body: The Key To Lasting Weight Loss Is All In Your asked from mothers around the globe and of course answered personally by me.
1. It seems like your plan is The Secret meets Weight Watchers. What are the differences?
"The Secret" only tells you that there is a secret, however it tactfully omits the fundamental steps one needs to achieve their core desire. My book Mind Over Body was conceived long before "The Secret" was released. It is the result of my own life experience and the experience I acquired working with people from all over the world. Most people that start a diet, such as Weight Watchers or any other weight loss program automatically come OFF that diet sooner or later. The Mind Over Body nutritional plan starts with training the mind. It is designed to suit one's lifestyle, and is therefore long-lasting. This is a direct result of implementing the crucial mental reconditioning outlined in the book, a part often neglected by other programs out there. Mind Over Body is the only book available that will help you lose both the weight in your body and in your mind.
2. What is the most important part of your plan?
The mental part is the most important because it is responsible for the permanent results created by both part 1 and 2 of the book, the mind and the body.
3. What is the main challenge that moms encounter while doing your plan?
I think stress is the most challenging and destructive element for moms. Making the choice to create time for themselves instead of giving too much to everyone else is key to their mental and physical wellbeing.
One must first identify and remove unnecessary and disserving activities and replace them with the mental and physical exercises I have outlined in my book.
Mindfully Yours,
