Great Ab Workout

I love this ab workout! It really works with getting rid of that little bottom pouch thing we all have a little bit of! I bought this yoga ball at superstore for 20$! I love their workout gear line! Most of it is pink! :)

1. First, you want to just flop on top of the ball

2. Walk out on your hands until the ball meets your shins. Make sure your legs stay tight and your toes pointed, or this exercise will not work! Keep your arms shoulder width apart!

3. Fold yourself in half! Push your bum up into the air, keeping your legs as straight as you can! Its very important to push you armpits in the direction of the ball. If you don't, your weight will push you over the opposite way... into a painful summersault! Keep your toes pointed! Hold for about 5 seconds, unfold into position number 2, and repeat :)

I usually do about 15 reps, 3 times. A total of 45! This is a great exercise you can do at home if you don't have time to go to the gym! Make sure to drink lots of water :)

New head shots

Recently got some new head shots done for a website I am featured on! I love how they turned out!

Sweet potato muffins

I've recently discovered my new favourite snack... SWEET POTATO WHEAT THINS!!! They are soooo insanely delicious! And quite healthy for you! As I was eating them I was like oh my goodness... sweet potato muffins would be to DIE for! So I went on a hunt for the perfect recipe!! Well... actually I just chose the first healthy one that popped up on google :) BUT STILL! They are so yummy! here is the link to the recipe:

In the recipe, I used 2 eggs instead of the egg replacer, which is used to make them vegan! I also didn't add the cried cranberries because personally I hate dried cranberries, and raisins for that matter... 

These are such good power snacks! Either if you're on the go, or even before or after the gym they are great! Sweet potatoes are rich in fibre, vitamins a,b & c, magnesium and potassium!! They are a powerhouse veggie that makes any meal a bit sweeter :) 

ENJOY!

P90X AB RIPPER

I just finished the AB RIPPER X workout! I have done something similar just following blogs and what not, but doing it along with the video is WAY different! I could feel it so much more! If your abs are your focus point, I would strongly suggest downloading the video! I downloaded mine through a torrent website which is: http://kat.ph , It's fast and easy and the workout itself is only 15 minutes! And you can do it at home! I tried uploading the video to this post but it won't let me! I will post about the after effects tomorrow... haha! Good luck!

My Motivation

Personally, having a picture of something or someone that motivates me helps me a lot! Especially when I'm debating on eating something that I know is really bad for me, I will just look at the picture and remind myself of my goal! Here's a picture that motivates me:
