As you have known I have been taking an extended period of time off from stage. There are a lot of things that I have learned about the sport from an outside perspective. In addition there are things that I have learned about life during this time as well.

1. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
2. Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
3. If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they’re yours; if they don’t they never were.
4. Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.
5. How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.
6. The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
7. Sponsorships don’t care about your health…they will drop you on a dime.
8. The power is in consistency.
9. Good coaches are worth every bit that they charge.
10. The sport of bodybuilding is very narcissistic and self serving… don’t take it too seriously because esp as a female it does not pay well and you should have a backup plan.

Well it is February 14th. Time doesn't feel real. How is it February already. I am currently sitting at the cafe at the w hotel in Toronto near my house enjoying a great cup of peppermint tea doing some reflecting and I decided I should check in with my blog that I have been neglecting.

What's new?

  • I am still single (but talking to someone)
  • I have to move again
  • I still have not started a prep

I do have a lot to be thankful for but I also have a lot weighing on me. Life is hard alone. But this isnt a negative blog. I am going away to Punta Cana with my friend in March, I an off work for a week and will reset, reorganize and figure my life out, goals, moving etc. My work life is ok but not at all what I ever pictured it to be...but is even any of my life what I had pictured it to be at this age....hell no. I really want to rebrand my fitness content, regrow my online business and sort everything in my life out. In addition I want to also compete and just get back to a happy place.

Other than that I am sorry to anyone who actually reads my blog that I haven't been consistent. I truly just haven't had the motivation to be creative like I use to be. But I am determined to find myself again. So thanks for sticking with me during this process/over the years etc.

If you are alone on Valentines Day like me - Pour yourself a nice glass of your fav sugar free beverage, take a relaxing epsom salt bath, put on a show or if your like me the Cavs vs Bulls game and enjoy. I am also going to be doing a lot of goal setting, gratitude and journalling. I think that those things will keep you In a positive mood and on a good path to self love. <3

Even if your night doesn't look like mine - make it a night where you do positive things that you yourself love and it will be a great valentines.

10 Foods to Get You In the Mood This Valentine’s Day

 

Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching and instead of making reservations to some over-hyped trendy spot, stay in and prepare a “Lover’s Platter” full of indulgent aphrodisiacs. Pop some champagne, get that romantic playlist ready and feast onthese 10 foods to get you in the mood for love this Valentine’s Day. Dr. Christopher Calapai, D.O a New York City Osteopathic Physician board certified in family and anti-aging medicine gives us his interesting insights on these aphrodisiacs.

 

“Aphrodisiacs are foods that have certain chemical properties that could increase pheromones, estrogen of testosterone, estrogen, heightening our interest in sex,” explains Dr. Calapai.

 

To be considered a true aphrodisiac the substance must be consumed orally, must reliably increase libido or sexual desire and within minutes. Ok so what are these sexual super foods and what is it about them that lights the fire of desire?

 

  1. Oysters

One of the most infamous aphrodisiacs oysters are high in zinc and have a reputation for being great for fertility. Researchers have found that oysters contain amino acids that trigger production of sex hormones. “Oysters offer a lean source of protein to help give you energy all night long. In addition to offering the body zinc, which helps blood flow and nourish sperm, there's scientific evidence that an amino acid found in oysters may directly raise sexual hormone levels," says Dr. Calapai.

 

  1. Bananas

With their phallic shape, bananas already look tempting and sensual; but they also contain bromelain, an enzyme, which Dr. Calapai says, triggers testosterone production. The fruit's potassium and vitamin B elevate energy levels and the high sugar content gives the brain a kick! Melt some chocolate to add some sexy decadence.

 

  1. Honey

Honey is made through pollination and secretions of many fertile bees worshipping their queen, just what every woman wants! Drizzled on certain body parts honey can be fun. It has a number of vitamins and it also contains boron, which helps regulate estrogen and testosterone levels and the sweet and sappy sweetness provides a natural energy boost.

 

  1. Watermelon

Packed with citrulline and lycopene, Watermelon may have a Viagra-like effect on the body, as it relaxes blood vessels and improves circulation. It may even prevent erectile dysfunction. It’s incredibly juicy, sexy and when dipped in chocolate is the perfect flavor explosion.

 

  1. Pine Nuts

High in energizing zinc and fatty acids, which has been linked to a healthy sex drive, pine nuts are also considered aphrodisiacs because of the effort required to procure these oily gems from pinecones.

 

  1. Arugula

This peppery tasting plant has been documented as an aphrodisiac since the first century A.D. “The bite of the aromatic leaf might get you in the mood and the minerals and antioxidants found in dark leafy greens like arugula have also been proven to block environmental contaminates that could negatively harm libido,” explains Dr. Calapai.

 

  1. Olive oil

Packed with antioxidants, olives and their oil have been used for centuries for health. The Greeks believed they made men more virile as well. “Olive oil is a good source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are critical for a healthy heart, smooth blood flow and stable hormone production, all needed to keep the brain, prostate and penis in good shape!” says Dr. Calapai.

 

  1. Figs

Eaten by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the fig has forever paradoxically symbolized both sexuality (the ripe fruit with seeds representing fertility) and modesty (the fig leaf). They are full of potassium and are an antioxidant powerhouse, sweet and delicate when eaten.

 

  1. Pomegranate

These bright gems enclosed in a thick rose-colored husk are filled with tangy sweet antioxidants, which support blood flow and clear thought. One study by The Male Clinic in California found that pomegranate juice had a positive effect on erectile dysfunction.

 

  1. Chai Tea

Skip the coffee and end the night with a cup of Indian chai tea. The typical spices in this brew include ginger, cloves and cinnamon, all come from exotic places and certainly will get the blood flowing. Since it has almost no caffeine the stimulant effect is less than coffee allowing you and your lover to drift to sleep.

Goodbye, Hurt & Pain:

7 Simple Steps to Health, Love and Success

By Dr. Deborah Sandella, PhD, RN

 

REGENERATING IMAGES IN MEMORY (RIM)

— A Cutting-Edge Approach to Understanding the Root of Your Emotions

 

“Every once in a while, you read a book that has a profound personal impact on you. This book will do that. It is written from the heart in a

down-to-earth way that will touch you intimately—and probably change your life.”

-Jack Canfield, Co-Creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul ® Series

 

Emotions and feelings are invisible and often ignored and, when not addressed, can have a toxic impact on your relationships and overall physical and mental health. It’s time to tackle our emotions, flush the negativity out of our system, and establish a self-understanding that will change the way we see the world, as well as how we interact and respond to people and situations.

In Goodbye, Hurt & Pain: 7 Simple Steps to Health, Love and Success [Conari Press], Dr. Deborah Sandella, PhD, RN uses cutting-edge neuroscience research and her revolutionary Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM) technique to show how blocked feelings can hold us back from getting what we want. Dr. Sandella teaches us to move destructive feelings such as fear, anger, hurt, resentment, and envy out of the body, which is not achieved through discussion but rather by understanding the unique inner connection of our left and right brains. Tapping into the right brain creativity, sensitivity and emotions through Dr. Sandella’s groundbreaking techniques helps identify the deep rooted inner feelings which feeds our left brain to deliver the message we truly desire.

“Once you know how to dial into your feelings, your native emotional intelligence begins to respond much like a self-cleaning oven, problem-solver, and success magnet,” says Dr. Sandella. “And results come quickly. You will find yourself resolving deep-rooted problems and manifesting your dreams at speeds as fast as Google drops search results.”

Through amazing real-life stories in Goodbye, Hurt & Pain, Dr. Sandella will expand your conscious thinking and unconscious beliefs to allow you to trust that saying goodbye to painful feelings and memories is easier than you’ve ever imagined. She teaches us that emotions are not good or bad but simply a radar of our inner emotional well being. “Feelings engage a process not a conclusion,” adds Dr. Sandella.

In this inspiring and motivating manual for managing and ramping up your emotional intelligence, you’ll discover:

  • The secret to Dr. Sandella’s RIM technique, which is an inventive way to uproot emotional barriers and live your best life
  • How letting go of old feelings and traumatic memories makes people feel and look younger, lighter, more energized, and less burdened
  • Feelings are predictable and controllable—when you know how they work!
  • Why it’s crucial to reduce overwhelming emotion into controllable form, and how to manage it effectively
  • Seven simple and speedy tools for eliminating unnecessary suffering in your daily life
  • How anyone can renew their emotional equilibrium whenever they need to and master their emotions in the blink of an eye

 

Dr. Deborah Sandella is an award-winning psychotherapist, university professor, and the originator of the groundbreaking RIM Method, which is a heavily-backed neuroscience tool for reducing stress and improving the quality of life. She has been called a “master healer,” and has been helping thousands of people find themselves over the past 40 years. Dr. Sandella has frequently shared the stage with Jack Canfield, originator of the Chicken Soup For the Soul series and, with him, she has co-authored Awakening Power, a guided meditation program and instruction booklet. She has been acknowledged with numerous professional awards, including Outstanding Clinical Specialist, Research Excellence, and an EVVY Best Personal Growth Book Award.
