Hello Ladies! I was just reading an article that said; 'one in five women will gain over 5 pounds this holiday season'!!!!!!! ...training starts tomorrow (10/25) @ 12noon in BH. (reply for details, your 1st class is FREE. love you. mean it.) I got out all of my own training files to see if this statement were correct by my books as well. They were. The first file I got out was my own. (yes, I've been keeping record of my own shape since late adolescence)! Every year, since 1999. I've gained 3-6 lbs! (not pounds of muscle!!) gross. After this discovery, I called one of my trainer friends. Lets just say the statement above seems sugar coated. I went through all his files with him from the past five holiday seasons to compare pounds of fat- before and after the season. What did we find? gross. Given, these files were not of individuals I train...I still find this unacceptable! "I will not gain 5 lbs this season and I will not be a statistic!" ...if you'd like to join me and a few

Fromsadtoraw.com is a great learning tool if you've decided to take the plunge into eating raw. This was one of my favorites ;) my notes are in pink suggesting lower calorie options. Bon Appeteti! 
Preparation and photo by Michelle Reeves Eggplant Pizza peeled eggplant
sliced to about 1/2" slices but really a little thinner, as you don't want to take forever, or make too thin where it falls apart....give it your eye guess I suppose
On teflex sheet put your sliced eggplant..

You can put the It. seasonings here now...
Then in any order: red/yellow peppers, diced or sliced, then mushrooms, diced or sliced, sliced or diced purple onions, "fresh" basil...(think fresh is a key so the other stuff you can fake, but not the "fresh" basil). I cut the basil up and sprinkled nicely on the top...then placed fresh slices off tomato on top with some more seasonings under it. Red pepper hot chili seeds or pinch cayenne for zing. Tomatoes for the

Something to work on: ‘Bum Balance' 
First, see if you can use your bum as your only base of support. Heels hover over the ground and arms are stretched out to either side for a lengthening stretch and balance mechanism. If this is a struggle, don't be discouraged! You're a perfect candidate to start improving now! Keep at it, in no time you'll be sitting pretty ;)

Next, test your abilities! Slowly lower both extremities of your body equally. Lean back and straighten your legs slightly. I like to use these first two positions as a crunch like exercise. Start at bum balance 1, then transition into 2 and repeat! Introduced to me back in my gymnast days...my coach had me do 3 sets of 50 daily!
 I thought I'd created a new yoga pose with this one until I saw it in a book and realized that Joseph Pilates beat me to it! After perfecting your beginners bum balance, your core strength will improve ;) Raise the bar, and raise your legs into a full Forward Fold position!  Veterans, try this.

I put this together as homework for a sassy client of mine when I visited (home) Ohio in july...so if something sounds weird, it's because your not her. lol enjoy...luv, Jamie (just trying to make your life a little better ;) Ways to Make Time at the Office Beneficial to Your Booty: Meetings usually mean brainstorming. Call me crazy, but how about suggesting that it be conducted while standing!? The increase of blood flow to the brain helps creative thinking AND higher calorie burn! While typing, sit with good posture! Be conscious of your body, breathe deep periodically to engage abdominal area with exhale. Try setting a goal for yourself; I.e, ‘every half hour I'll let out four deep, exaggerated, contracting breaths!' (by the week's end, you've added 500 ‘crunches' to your regimen!' While typing, twist your chair 45 degrees to either side and keep your chest square with screen. Your twisting will make for an excellent oblique contraction! (When paired with deep breathing this move is

TLC Diet - a diet for high cholesterol heart disease recommended by AHA Written by Gloria Tsang, RD The TLC diet was introduced in May 2001 when the National Cholesterol Education Program NCEP released new diet guidelines for people with high cholesterol and risks of heart disease. The American Heart Association AHA accepted and endorsed this report and began incorporating these recommendations into its materials on dietary and lifestyle change for people with high blood cholesterol. For people at high risk or who have known cardiovascular disease, NCEP and AHA now recommend the new Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes TLC diet to replace the "old" Step 1 and Step 2 diets. Summary of the TLC Diet for High Cholesterol | | Total Fat | 25% - 25% total calories | Saturated fat | < 7% total calories | Polyunsaturated fat | up to 10% total calories | Monounsaturated fat | up to 20% total calories | Carbohydrates | 50% - 60% total calories | Protein | ~15% total calories | Cholesterol | <200 mg/dL | Plant Sterols | 2g | Soluble Fiber such as psyllium | |

 Waste Matters By: Jamie A. Murphy I've never felt it necessary to discuss this topic. Until now. This biological waste production is physical evidence of what in our diet's need to be changed! I found that this matter would serve as a vital entity to my nutrition plan and even save the world! (see part II). So grin and bear with me, I'll try to be as conventional as possible. I feel that it's my duty to share this with you! I believe you too have something to gain from those ‘something's' we lose. While freshening up in my girlfriends restroom, a little brown book by Josh Richman and Anish Sheth, M.D., titled ‘What's Your Poo Telling You?' sparked question that I could be overlooking a very purposeful bodily function! The Author's run down was shrewd, yet it's ‘humorous' interpretation wasn't my cup of tea. Soon flipping through You Are What You Eat, I was confident that (author) Dr. Gillian

Angelinos flock to the cities ‘natural gyms' to enjoy outdoor exercise. Runyon Canyon, Santa Monica Blvd's bike path and Roxbury Park are a few personal favorites ;) Read on to learn the perfect skin care regimen before your next excursion. Also: Which SPF should you be using? How important is it to know your skin type? Why your sports wear may be the cause of your acne! How chlorine is related to pre-mature aging! ...and which products work the best PLUS! A fun tip 'quick fix' for your next event that involves serene wrap!    
Did you know that our skin has approximately 650 sweat glands per square inch (and 100 oil glands)?! When you exercise, you sweat. (if you're working hard enough) When you sweat, you excrete toxins from the body. And when your pores are open, they're more apt to absorb the suns harmful rays. I sat with Bliss Spa Skin Care therapist Holly Waite to uncover the skin care commandments for outdoor exercise. J SPF. What should we be

The Secret to Breaking Your Plateau…  Written By: Jamie Alexandra Murphy Through my studies as a fitness professional I have learned that a single universally practiced exercise is the elusive missing link to achieving your fitness goals. It was *Joyce that introduced me to the missing link I’d been searching for to break her ’hate cardio’ mind set and last 7 lbs. I had her on a strict strength training regimen boot camp style thrice weekly, and imposed small changes to her diet. Light walking was the extent of her cardio homework as former injuries and a hate for machines prevented effective and safe options. We went from a size 16 to a 10 in 27 days. After that no changes were seen for almost two weeks. We were both perplexed by the cause of this plateau. I then suggested we start her on a body bugg program. (www.bodybogg.com) A body bugg is a high tech device that straps to your arm and accurately records your bodies caloric burn minute by minute. A USB port sends info to easy to
