MORE ON GLOOR

SO......I frequently talk about the one and only inspirational Joey Gloor. He is my favorite famous figure and is my muse.

Well...basically my life is now perfect because   JOEY GLOOR SHARED MY PHOTO ON FACEBOOK.

I had posted a picture on his wall on facebook. It was a picture and quote of him that I have in my locker to pose as inspiration for me! I said "Joey, I see you in my locker at school everyday. You are my inspiration in each aspect of my life, thanks so much!" He shared the photo and commented this!!!!!!!:

I was so excited, I can't even begin to explain the elation that I felt. He has over 30,000 likes on facebook, yet he took the time to acknowledge me. I literally had to just go pop an hour out on the treadmill because I had so much anxiety and was so overwhelemed I needed to do something. I am really excited also, because I just ordered one of his tee shirts online and I cannot wait to wear it!!!!!


He also recently just posted a new video on youtube about finding a fitness role model. He is just so awesome... I can't even fathom it.

1. "Pick someone that you can actually aspire to be like aesthetically."
2.  "Do not idolize that person. Do not put them on a pedestal. We are all flawed."
3.  Use the role model for isnpiration and knowledge, but do not copy each thing that they do. We are all different!"


I really hope that another season of I Used To Be Fat comes up, and Joey is a trainer again, because that would be sweet!!!

The two things that I enjoy about Joey are his intellect and capabilty, along with his drive and intensity. He is quite knowledgable as a High School English teacher, along with his personal training career. And his intensity reminds me of myself. I feel as if Gloor is a mirror for me. We both are very intense, agressive, and impassive individuals and I love his work ethic.

My Recipes!

My top 3 favorite Indulgent Recipes!



Although I am an avid health concious individual, in order to keep my sanity, I do need to bake some treats to splurge on once in awhile so I'm not feeling deprived. I make these treats in a way that they taste yummy, yet do not contain nasty, harmful ingridients or chemicals.



Apple Cinnamon Protein Bars

4 scoops Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
1/2 c Oat Flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3 egg whites
1/4 c Stevia Sweetner
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c cottage cheese
3 medium grated apples
(Red Delicious is not ideal)


Grease an 8x8 pan with extra virgin olive oil, and preheat the oven to 350*

Combine all dry ingridients

Add in egg whites, cottage cheese, vanilla, then lastly the apples.

Pour into pan, then bake 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean!


(p.s. REALLY GOOD SERVED WITH 1 C FROZEN PLAIN GREEK YOGURT!)




Peanut Butter Balls

2 c Peanut Butter (Natural)
1 1/2 scoop Whey
3/4 c oats
1 c Crisp Cereal
1/4 c honey

Microwave peanut butter on low for 30 seconds. Stir in honey and whey. Add in oats and cereal. Form into balls and refrigerate overnight.

Can be frozen up to 3 months!


(I melt 80 percent organic dark chocolate then dunk them in this before refrigerating)



These are my favorite treats!!!!

Jillian Michaels

                           Jillian Michaels

Jillian is such a driving force for me. The information that she has put into the world has helped me to broaden my knowledge and get more of an understanding of things in the fitness and nutrition industry. She is well known for her work on The Biggest Loser, Losing It, and for her intelligence and wit.


She has a weekly podcast that I listen to. My favorite thing to do in this entire world is to sit down with a hot cup of tea, put on a Jillian podcast and just take notes. I discover so much about myself, others, and just life in general.

My favorite podcast that she does is called "Finding the Human Connection"

There honestly needs to be more people on the planet similar to Jillian Michaels. I have two other celebrity idols that I look up to.

Which Milk?

There are so many current choices on milk. With such a plethora of options, it can be quite difficult to distinguish the benefits among each variety. So, how do you know which to choose? Well I hope I can help with that!!!


Dairy

There is the classic milk, derived from cows. Typically, there are many people who suffer from lactose issues, and their bodies are sensitive to dairy. Therefore, this option may not be ideal. Also, I would not advise the consumption of dairy milk UNLESS it is organic. Conventional cows are given nasty hormones in order to yield mass quantities of milk, and these can disrupt functions within our endocrine system. Therfore, only strive for dairy when it is ORGANIC, and that goes for not just milk.

Almond Milk

Almond milk is a great alternative to dairy for those who have lactose issues. It is also soy free, along with dairy free. It contains omega 3 fatty acids. I however, do not prefer the taste of it all that much.



Coconut Milk

When it comes to milk, this is my favorite when it comes to taste. The vanilla flavor of So Delicious brand is really good! (and it is endorsed by Jillian Michaels, which is awesome, because she is so amazing!) It also contains some essential fatty acids and if you enjoy coconut, it is a nice treat.


Soymilk


THE ABSOLUTE WORST OPTION.

Soy has been proven to be estrogenic, increasing the chance of developing breast cancer. Soy is also subsidised by the government and is found in literally every single processed food, and is honestly harmful if not fermented. Therefore, I do not advocate soy milk.



There are still a few more options, but these are typically the most popular. Personally, I use ORGANIC FAT FREE DAIRY.




JUST REMEMBER, ALWAYS STRIVE FOR ORGANIC DAIRY, MEATS, AND THIN-SKINNED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

INSPIRATION. MOTIVATION. DETERMINATION.

Lacking Motivation in life?

Those times when you just dont feel that spark to put effort into accomplishing all of your goals. I have some tips on what to do to get yourself pumped!

1. Really Visualize the Outcome that you desire- focus hard on how you will be benefited by putting in the hard work. Attach emotions to this visualization. You have to want it. 

2. Write it down- Every single day, wake up knowing what you want to do to get one step closer to your goal. Each day is a baby step to get to your ultimate destination. You need to realize that you can't get this day back. Live in the moment and don't stray into something that will deman your progress. Do not be mediocre.

3. Stay organized and do not procrastinate!!- this is something that I struggle regularly with. I tend to get a little nonchalant with schoolwork (hence the delay in my blogs...oops) But I HAVE GOALS TO CHANGE THIS BEHAVIOR. GET STUFF DONE. SIMPLE AS THAT.

At the end of the day, no single person can ignite that fire and passion in you, besides you. We have one life. GET THE MOST OUT OF IT!!!!!

*BE HEALTHY
*BE FIT

JOEY GLOOR IS A GOD!!!!!!!!

Josef Gloor is a fitness trainer, teacher and life coach. He has, and continues to be my biggest inspiration. His career took off when he landed a job on MTV's I Used To Be Fat. Joey has been my driving force for quite some time now. His work ethic, high energy level, personality, and lets face it, AWESOME body are just certainly things he projects to the world that I am working towards achieving, therefore he is somewhat of a mirror to me. He has not only impacted me but, others hes trained with personally.  

THESE ARE SOME INSANE RESULTS THAT JOEY YIELDED FOR JOSH. 310 POUNDS BEFORE, 190 AFTER.

My ultimate favorite quote from Joey Gloor:

"It’s not about a future goal. At the end of the day, I simply do it to become better inside and out.Therefore, I always train with equal desire, because I see each workout as a battle to be won and never look beyond the rep I’m in."

*Whenever I am struglgling, I just read this quote, really soak in the words and message. Joes is just plain awesome, and if you don't know who he is, you're pretty much not living. REALLY!



Dealing With Failure!

We all deal with failure on  a regular basis. It happens. And it is soooo easy to just completely dwell on mistakes that you've made. What everyone needs to realize is that failure is an absolute essential part of life. It really teaches you how to implicate new methods that work, and it is a great learning experience.


This video from Josef Gloor may be short, but the message in it is so important. I watch this EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

#TEAMJOEYGLOOR

HELLO.

So....in a "nut" shell, I've become quite a fitness and nutrition freak over the course of this year! I am attempting to advocate a positive lifestyle all around, and being healthy in all aspects of life is important to me. I've lost roughly 30 pounds since April of 2012, and I am continuing to lose even more, yet also become the best athlete I can be!!!!!!! :D

There is basically no other way of saying this; I am obsessed with all things fitness and nutrition related. I'm about 90.3455677866 percent sure that I want to pursue something in this field as a career!

Intense amounts of training and fueling my body correctly have been such transformational feats for me. You may not have control of certain situations in life. This may not seem fair, but YOU have the power to alter your physique and make it the best it can possibly be.


 This may seem kinda morbid...but my last words when I am withering away on my death bed would be to treat your body with care and concern. Do not load it with garbage that will inhibit you from performing at optimum levels in your life!  

Now....I'm not saying that you cant just enjoy something and indulge, but for the most part, be conscious of the ingridients! NO PROCESSED GARBAGE! For example, I have my most ABSOLUTE FAVORITE treat every day; ORGANIC dark chocolate. YUMMMMM.

MAKE GOOD FOOD CHOICES!

THE END. JUST KIDDING.

IM SO WIERD.

THIS IS WHY I HAVE NO DATE TO HOMECOMING.
