Hiya!
I don't eat the nasty school lunches anymore so I bring mine everyday! I love to find healthy food that tastes good and makes me feel good. I love all of the funny stares that people give me when they see what I bring. This is what I bring to eat!
-Pita Chips
-Carrots
-Grapes
-Almonds
-Hummus
It doesn't look like much does it? Trust me it fills you up fast! It's better than being full of fries and hamburgers.
I try to fit all of the food groups into my lunch or at least the big ones. Grapes are my fruit and they kick my sugar cravings out of the way. Pita chips are healthier alternatives to potato chips, but still give you at salt taste. Its only 130 calories! The carrots are my vegetables and of course they are great for your eyes! I try to bring any of the vegetables like broccoli and sugar snap peas. Almonds are just FANTASTIC all around and a serving of them a day keeps the weight away! Hummus is what I use for my pita chips and vegetables. Hummus is a better option than Ranch, which in my personal opinion is empty calories. I pack these in my bag and I'm good to go!
I'm really excited to try to bring grilled chicken and rice to school. I hope I can find a recipe that works for me.
Try making your lunch and love how you feel after!

The Workout of Kings, Queens and Jokers.
Hiya!
By the title of this post you are probably wondering what I must be thinking about in this crazy head of mine! This week I decided to take a break from my lifting and I focused on body weight workouts for more of a cardio twist. I have a workout for you that only requires yourself and a deck of cards!
Here is your workout!
What you will be doing is using a deck of cards and assigning an exercise for each different card.
Here is what I used:
Black: Squats
Red: Push- Ups
Ace: Mountain Climbers
Kings: Toe Touches
Queens: Walking Lunge
Jacks: Jumping Jacks
Jokers: Bear Crawls
The number on each card is how many times you do that exercise.
With Ace, Kings, Queens, Jacks and Jokers I made reps. With Mountain Climbers I did 24 reps and the same with Jumping Jacks. With Bear Crawls and Walking Lunge I just went down and back.
This is a killer workout and you will be feeling it the next day! Your legs will feel like jello and your shoulders will be on fire! But no worries, that just means its working!
You don't have to use my exercises, you can be creative and make your own and assign them to a card!
Try it out and see what you think and GET SWEATY!

How to naturally kill a headache!
Hiya!
This weekend I had THE WORST headache and stomach ache. I started looking around for things to get rid of it and I found this! It really works!
Put a frozen bag of vegetables or an ice pack at the base of your skull.
Submerge you feet and hands in warm to hot water.
The heat of your extremities pulls the blood from your head relieving some if not all of your headache!
GENIUS!
Next time you have a headache try this and see if it works for you
