5 Reasons Why We Love Jamie Eason


Jamie Eason, the smiling face of Lean Body for Her, has been my favorite fitness role model for a few years now. I used to have a picture of her as my desktop on my computer as inspiration during my 40 lb. weight loss journey. 

From learning about her personal testimony that lead to her changing her entire lifestyle to following her throughout her daily personal life, Jamie is so open with her fans and shows that there's more that meets the eye than just a pretty face and a hot bod.






1. She did not let breast cancer slow her down & is an advocate for breast cancer research.
During Jamie's early career as an NFL cheerleader for the Houston Texans, she discovered a lump in her breast. She went for a checkup and soon learned that the lump was actually cancer. She had a lumpectomy to remove the cancerous tissue and all was well again. However, this scare prompted Jamie to change her ways. Jamie admits that she was "skinny" fat and loved to eat goldfish & fast food as well as drinking Dr. Pepper. She knew she needed to change her health habits for good! This lead to her becoming a  fitness model and a spokesperson for Bodybuilding.com.



2. She is a hands-on mom & wife.
Jamie shared the news of her engagement with her longtime boyfriend on her Facebook page with us. Then she shared her beautiful fairytale wedding in photos with the world, and finally, the very exciting announcement of her expecting her very first child! It is nice to see that even with her busy career, she puts God, her son, and husband first.


3. She is very open about her diet plan & workouts and encourages that we can reach our goals, too!
According to CBSnews.com, in an interview, Jamie stated that this was her diet plan before a shoot-and that it honestly was not much more different than how she eats any other day:
6 a.m. - 5 egg whites and 1/3 cup oatmeal
9 a.m. - 5 egg whites and avocado scramble with 1/2 grapefruit
12 p.m. - 4 oz. to 5 oz. of homemade turkey meatloaf and a cup of greens
3 p.m. - 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese topped with wheat germ and a few almonds with 1/2 grapefruit
6 p.m. - Homemade turkey chili with beans over a cup of spaghetti squash and green beans
9 p.m. - 5 egg whites with 1/2 cup chopped zucchini and 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
As for her daily meal plan, it looks like this (in her own words):
6 a.m. - Half a cup of oatmeal and five egg whites with chopped bell peppers and onions
9 a.m. - 4 to 5 ounces of homemade turkey meatloaf with a side salad and cherry tomatoes
12 p.m. - Five ounces of stir-fried chicken with half a cup of brown rice and steamed veggies
3 p.m. - Two corn tortillas topped with black beans, pepper, onions and five ounces of grilled chicken.
6 p.m. - Homemade Italian turkey zucchini burger with pita, lettuce and tomato
9 p.m. - 1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese with cinnamon, Truvia and a few almonds.



4. She loves to interact with her fans. 
If you write Jamie a letter or email, chances are, she will usually write back! In her own words, Jamie said in an interview with About-Muscle.com "“I spend entire days answering the emails, messages and comments I receive. I do my best to answer as many people as I possibly can. I'm always flattered when I hear the phrase; I want to be the next Jamie Eason. If that really is someone's goal or they just want to be healthier, I want to do all I can to help.”


5. She is just like you & me! And she reminds us of that.
If you follow Jamie on her Facebook page, then you know that she is very open, honest, and loves to be herself-and shares that contagious personality with everyone! Jamie shows her quirky and playful side and does not hold back.

From sharing her fitness & diet tips with us to encouraging and motivating us to become the best version of ourselves-and everything in between- we cannot help but fall in love with Jamie!

50 Ways to Avoid Getting Fat



It seems these days that everyone's biggest fear is getting fat.
Well, here are 50 ways to get skinny fast and avoid THAT problem!
  1. Stop eating carbs.
  2. Stop eating proteins.
  3. Stop eating sugar.
  4. Actually, just stop eating period because eating could possibly lead to the risk of weight gain.
  5. Don't get pregnant. Ever.
  6. Get a 6 pack airbrushed on. 
  7. Or just place your belly against a wire fence like this. It works every time.b2f4d41467113a813c75c48873b9e7f6
  8. As you age, your metabolism slows so stop growing old.
  9. Don't wear white clothing. You run the risk of looking like a marshmellow if you do.
  10. They say black is slimming, get a spray tan dark enough to appear as a shadow. Shadows are very slimming indeed.
  11. They say menopause causes weight gain so never go through menopause.
  12. Make sure you eat enough.
  13. But not too much.
  14. Don't ever get depressed. Depression causes weight gain. So be happy all of the time!
  15. Make sure your thyroid works. Hypothyroidism leads to weight gain.
  16. Wear bigger clothes.
  17. Try the cabbage soup diet.
  18. Or the baby food diet.
  19. Hormones cause weight fluctuations. Do not have hormones!
  20. Wear a corset from birth on and never take it off, but only to shower.
  21. Or just stop growing. Dwarfs are cute.                                                                            b2f4d41467113a813c75c48873b9e7f6
  22. Genetics causes weight gain so avoid being born by parents with a family history of obesity.
  23. Go to the gym often.
  24. But don't go too much. If you get too muscular, you might run the risk of looking bulky which could make you appear bigger.
  25. Never sit. Sitting causes weight gain! So stand up at all times.
  26. Don't own a couch. Couches cause obesity. 
  27. Eating while standing will burn lots of calories!
  28. Only hang out with fat people. By doing this, you will appear skinnier than the rest so don't have friends who are skinnier than you.
  29. Photoshop all of your selfies. Even your Instagrams.
  30. Just avoid posting photos from the chest down or learn how to master the art of cropping like this: blogger-image-1594588468
  31. Actually, just do not post any photos at all. Your absence will make your appear skinny.
  32. Real women have curves, so don't be a real woman.
  33. Drink lots of water. Water tricks your brain into thinking its full. Then, who needs food, right?
  34. A recent study shows that sleeping with the light on causes obesity. Destroy all the light bulbs in your house at once. As a bonus, you will even save money on your next electric bill.
  35. Get surgery. Surgery cures everything. Duh.
  36. Diet pills? Hello? It's like magic in a tiny little pill. 
  37. Don't take medications. Some drugs have a side effect of gain weight.
  38. Instead, hire a Shaman or Indian Medicine Man to cure your ailments.                             blogger-image-1594588468
  39. Don't celebrate holidays. Studies show that we tend to overeat during a special occasion.
  40. Sleep more. Lack of sleep increases stress which increases risk weight gain.
  41. But don't sleep too much. You risk becoming too inactive, which leads to weight gain.
  42. And never get stressed out. Stay calm. 
  43. But not too calm. If you are too calm, you are not burning enough calories to stay skinny.
  44. Weed can help you decrease your stress.
  45. But not too much weed because then you will get hungry and we all know what happens if you get hungry.
  46. Don't get hungry. Ever.
  47. Avoid working at food joints. Being around food just won't work.
  48. With that being said, don't own a refrigerator. 
  49. Never get married. Marriage causes weight gain they say. Or just blame your spouse.
  50. Don't go to college. By doing this, you will never have to worry about the "Freshman 15."

Hope you all have enjoyed the sarcasm and asshole-ish tones within these tips. Please consult with your doctor before attempting any of these.

Diary of a Fit Mommy's 14 Day Lose Your Love Handles Challenge


There's not much to "love" when it comes to those pesky love handles! Although, there's really no way to target one specific area, here is a great two week challenge to try to diminish the appearance of your handles. As always, make sure you are eating a clean diet because, after all, abs are made in the kitchen!



Day 1: 10 second Side Plank/ 15 Side Bends/ 20 Russian Twists
Day 2: 15 second Side Plank/ 20 Side Bends/ 25 Russian Twists
Day 3: 20 second Side Plank/ 25 Side Bends/ 30 Russian Twists
Day 4: REST
Day 5: 25 second Side Plank/ 30 Side Bends/ 35 Russian Twists
Day 6: 30 second Side Plank/ 35 Side Bends/ 40 Russian Twists
Day 7: 35 second Side Plank/ 40 Side Bends/ 45 Russian Twists
Day 8: REST
Day 9: 40 second Side Plank/ 45 Side Bends/ 50 Russian Twists
Day 10: 45 second Side Plank/ 50 Side Bends/ 55 Russian Twists
Day 11: 50 second Side Plank/ 55 Side Bends/ 60 Russian Twists
Day 12: REST
Day 13: 55 second Side Plank/ 60 Side Bends/65 Russian Twists
Day 14: 60 second Side Plank/ 65 Side Bends/ 70 Russian Twists

**NOTE: These moves target each individual side so make sure to complete both sides of your body for each exercise for each day listed to be a complete set**

Demos

Side Plank:
  • Lay down on your side so that only your forearm and the side of your foot are touching the ground.
  • Make your body into a straight line (side plank position).
  •  Bend at the waist and lower your hip towards the ground and then back up again.
  • Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions and then switch sides.

Side Bends:
  • Grasp a set of dumbbells. Stand straight up with one dumbbell in each hand, palms facing in.
  • Keep your feet firmly on the floor with a shoulder width stance.
  • Keeping your back straight and your eyes facing forwards, bend down to the right as far as you can, then back up again.
  • Without pausing at the top, bend down to the left.
  • Repeat for desired reps.

Russian Twists:
  • Sit on the ground with your knees bent and your heels about a foot from your butt.
  • Lean slightly back without rounding your spine at all. It is really important, and difficult, to keep your back straight, but don’t let it curve.
  • Place your arms straight out in front of you with your hands one on top of the other. Your hands should be level with the bottom of your ribcage.
  • Pull your navel to your spine and twist slowly to the left. The movement is not large and comes from the ribs rotating, not from your arms swinging. Inhale through center and rotate to the right. This completes one rep

Short Hair, Don't Care


So... I did it!
I chopped my hair right on off.
I had been wanting to for some time now. After all, my hair was in terrible shape from years of heat styling and coloring. My husband and I recently bought a clipper set because I wanted to learn to cut his hair at home (which was a success by the way!) and so I told him to just buzz it right on off. We took an # 8 guard because I wanted it to still be somewhat long and he buzzed it!

The result?
PERFECTION!
SASSY!
CHIC!






Needless to say, I LOVE my new hair. I was planning on growing it back out asap, but who knows, I may keep it this short for a while. As a new mom, it is easier to manage.

Here are my inspirations for going short:

Is it fair that genetically gifted Halle Berry would look amazing with no hair at all? Not really, but we can still envy her spiky pixie cut and copy it for ourselves.More Hairstyles for Older Women:Short Haircuts Over 50Bob Hairstyles Over 4010 Perfect PonytailsShort Hair Over 40Red Hair Over...

I like this if I were to get a really short haircut, particularly because it's for curly hair.

great long bob for curly hair if your looking for a haircut change.

To Cheat or Not to Cheat?



The debate revolving around cheat meals has been around for some time. Some claim that by having a cheat day, it helps you from overeating later while others feel that just one bite of something naughty will increase temptation and lead to more and more.

Personally, when eating strict, I do not like cheat days whatsoever. In my opinion, you can always find a healthier substitute or alternative to just about any sweet or fatty meal. I do, however, have my "higher calorie" days.

0b66ece2968ded41fb1adbcb12d37d3d

Here are some pros & cons to having or not having a cheat day:

Reasons to cheat:
  • Less likely to binge later.
  • Makes clean eating less of a "chore" and gives you something to look forward to.
  • Helps you develop a most positive relationship with food.
  • Refill glycogen stores to support hard training
  • Increased 24 hour energy expenditure.
  • Recharge a stagnant metabolism
  • Increased serum Leptin levels.
  • Increased thyroid hormone output.

Reasons not to cheat:
  • You might feel guilty.
  • Likely to binge or take it too far.
  • Your body might not completely adapt to a clean diet.
  • It can feed the addiction.
  • Junk food is bad for you.
blogger-image-1594588468

If you are going to cheat, do it right. 

If your idea of a cheat meal is a pint of Ben and Jerry's with a spoon, rethink your weekly reward. When it comes to choosing a cheat, be realistic. Even though you're allowed to break from your day-to-day diet, don't use a cheat meal as an excuse to overindulge. While you can indulge in a small, sugary treat from time to time, I recommend trying to avoid sugar-laden, nutrient-poor foods that can quickly ruin a week's worth of progress.

Instead, eat a cheat meal that is still well-balanced and higher in both calories and carbohydrates than your normal meal. Examples of cheat meals I typically incorporate are a cheeseburger with the bun (foreign concept, I know), two slices of pizza, a pasta dish with a protein source, chicken or shrimp fajitas with two tortillas, chicken stir fry with rice or noodles, or a filet mignon with baked potato and vegetables.

SoftBums Echo Cloth Diaper Review


Hey ladies!

I am reviewing a cloth diaper brand called SoftBumsSoftBums is the husband and wife team of Sarah and Brian Van Bogart, based in Minnesota and have been selling cloth diapers since 2008.

Softbums sells two different styles of cloth diapers: the Echo & the Omni. You can find the unique distinctions below.


Pick Your Shell

After picking your shell, you pick your 'Pod" or insert.


I had the chance to review the SoftBums Chocolate Echo cloth diaper with snaps. This is the first diaper of its kind that I had a chance to review as it slides to perfectly fit your baby's size! All you have to do is pull the elastics! Easy as that. The inside was incredibly SOFT and the insert snapped right on in! No leaking whatsoever!






Overall, I loved this diaper! It was so compact and was not bulky showing through my son's onesies. It also fit very snugly and he was able to move in them so they definitely were not restricting. I would certainly own more SoftBums in the future!

Day 12: REST DAY
Day 13: 55 Push-Ups/60 Dips/65 Second Plank
Day 14: 60 Push-Ups/65 Dips/70 Second Plank

Demos
Push-Ups:
  • Get into a plank position with hands planted directly under the shoulders (slightly wider than shoulder width apart). Ground the toes into the floor to stabilize the bottom half of the body. Engage the abs and back so the body is neutral. In other words, flat as a… plank (ah, now we get it!)
  • Begin to lower the body—back flat, eyes focused about three feet in front of you to keep a neutral neck—until the chest nearly touches the floor. (Note: Some experts say a push-up isn’t a push-up unless the chest actually grazes the ground). Don’t let the butt dip or stick out at any point during the move; the body should remain flat from head to toe all the way through the movement. Draw the shoulder blades back and down, while keeping the elbows tucked close to the body, so the upper arms form a 45-degree angle at the bottom of the push-up position.
  • Keeping the core engaged, exhale as you push back to the start position as explosively as possible without leaving the ground.

Dips:
  • Position your hands shoulder-width apart on a secured bench or stable chair.
  • Slide your butt off the front of the bench with your legs extended out in front of you.
  • Straighten your arms, keeping a little bend in your elbows to keep tension on your triceps and off your elbow joints.
  • Slowly bend your elbows to lower your body toward the floor until your elbows are at about a 90-degree angle. Be sure to keep your back close to the bench.
  • Once you reach the bottom of the movement, press down into the bench to straighten your elbows, returning to the starting position. This completes one rep.

Plank:
  • Start off on a yoga mat in the pushup position. Starting with the pushup position is the easiest way to get into the plank.
  • Lower both your forearms to the ground so that both your elbows and fists are flat to the ground. Your palms should be balled up, and directly underneath your shoulders.
  • Curl your toes under and engage your abs by tilting your pelvis and pulling your belly button toward your spine.
  • Straighten your body but keep your neck and spine neutral. Imagine that you’re a plank of wood, and that you’re straight as an arrow.
  • Flex your abdominals and squeeze your glutes. These are the two major muscle groups you’ll be working out in this exercise.
  • Hold this position, also known as the plank, until after the burning begins. Keep your eyes on the floor in front of you. Avoid raising your behind. Your body should make a straight line from your heels to the back of your head.

  • Now do the same gesture with the left knee.

Calf Raises:
  • Stand on the edge of a step.
  • Stand tall with your abdominals pulled in, the balls of your feet firmly planted on the step, and your heels hanging over the edge.Rest your hands against a wall or a sturdy object for balance.

  • Hold the position for a moment, and then lower your heels below the platform, feeling a stretch in your calf muscles.

Plie Squats:
  • Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart with toes turned out, holding lighter dumbbells vertically in front of thighs.
  • Keeping abs tight and torso tall, bend knees 90 degrees; keep knees aligned between second and third toes and weight in heels.
  • Press back to start; squeeze your glutes.

  • Once you feel the contraction for a second, lower your upper body back down to the starting position while inhaling.
