I have created this blog to inspire and be inspired by those who make fitness a priority in their lives. Because this is my first post, I would like to introduce myself. I am Christine Cruz, a news anchor at WSVN-7 in Miami, FL. I have also been a fitness enthusiast for as long as I can remember, but it wasn’t until recently that I made the connection between good, clean nutrition and exercise. For years, working out was just a way for me to get away with eating a little more and not packing on the pounds. Throughout the years, I have learned that if you truly want to see results, you have to eat “clean.”
Here are a couple of my favorite protein Packed meals:
Strong Shake: One scoop of Isopure protein powder, with 8 ounces of a lean protein shake.
Fit tip: Mix your protein powder with a liquid protein shake instead of water. It packs twice as much protein and doesn’t add any carbs to your meal
I tend to gravitate toward Advantedge (low-carb) and Hydroxycut Lean Protein. (Hydroxycut is a good choice if you're starting off your day with a shake because it contains green tea extract, which can supply you with your morning caffeine and the muscle building protein you need to build muscle and lose fat.
Another Eggs-cellent start to the day is:
Sunny Side up: One cup of Egg Whites and one slice of low-fat provolone cheese
Just spray the pan with Pam…and add your ingredients…all protein, no carbs….eggs-cellent!!!
Just keep in mind that fitness and food go hand in hand. You can spend countless hours on the treadmill or stair master, but unless your hard work at the gym is matched with the right choices in the kitchen you will never get the results you want. Stop wasting time and make the food/fitness connection!!

ReplyDeleteLol. Yes, the alliteration is a key part of the job!! You will love the egg whites....they really are eggs-cellent!
DeleteHi, Christine. My parents inspire my fitness and diet. Although I did not inherit their athletic abilities, I do appreciate being fit on the inside and out because my profession requires me to concentrate on highly technical matters while sitting in a chair most of the day. While I have had a recent setback with my exercise routine, I'm ready to get back on the horse called Exercise, and this is another way of inspiring. Thank you!!! P.S. Not sure about the eggs-cellent recipe, though. lol
ReplyDeleteHi Lance, We all have setbacks in our fitness routines. Sometimes the setbacks that temporarily slow us down, actually inspire us to take it to the next level. Why? Because, eventually, we miss how great exercise makes us feel. Our relationship with exercise is no different than a healthy relationship with a friend or significant other--you have to feed the relationship to derive the benefits. Please keep me posted as you get back on that exercise horse and start riding again...giddy up, let's go!
