Lunch- Making a healthy change





Starting off the week on a healthy food with a fabulous Vegetarian Fitspirational Lunch!!
Think you can’t eat a grilled cheese sandwich and fries without eating unhealthy fried foods? WRONG!
This meal contains protein, fiber, calcium, iron and WONDERFUL nutritious ingredients! I made this AT HOME in less than 10 mins. he healthiest “fast food” you can imagine.
What you see:
  1. Toasted Cheddar and Avocado grilled cheese sandwich on oatnut bread, with a bit of butternut squash aioli sauce 
  2. Side Ceazar salad
  3. Sweet Potato fries (BAKED not fried) *Note- Did you know Sweet potatoes are ranked one of the highest nutritional vegetable on the planet? This is because of their high protein and vitamin content!
  4. Glass of water
Eating healthy does NOT have to be boring! Get creative, have FUN in the kitchen finding new wonderful ways to incorporate health into your meals! 
I made this meal healthy by:
  • Using Oatnut bread instead of starchy white bread
  • Having baked sweet potato fries instead of normal greasy fried french fries
  • Adding a salad
  • Having water instead of soda
APPLY what you just read to YOUR life. Today when you make your next meal, stop and think what you can do to make it healthier!

It's Zumba Time!



One of my goals this winter break was to get my blonde butt back into Zumba shape and I’m SO excited because tonight I’m going to take my first Zumba class in over 2 months!!

If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I signed up to get “Zumba certified” to be an actual Zumba Teacher this summer, but decided to post pone it to focus on getting good grades in college. I’m not giving up though, this summer I WILL BE ZUMBA TEACHER CERTIFIED!

MY Zumba break is officially over and as of tonight BRITTANY AND ZUMBA are officially BFFs again!







Why I love Zumba:

  1. You get a GREAT workout in just an hour
  2. It gets your endorphin going and you feel “high on life” after you finish
  3. It gets you to drink a lot of water since you sweat a mini-ocean during class
  4. The music! I prefer the Zumba that is more “hip hop” rather than “Latin samba” 
  5. YOU GET TO DANCE!!! I have a huge background in dance, so getting to shake my little booty is one of the most amazing feelings imaginable.

Off to go get Zumba-ready and fill up my pink water bottle :)

If you’ve never tried Zumba before, I highly recommend you do! It is a GREAT way to get in your weekly cardio *Ahem* which you should be getting in 3-5 times a week *Ahem*
