ECD Body Makeover Challenge Winner - My Day with Megan

On Friday I had an absolutely glorious day with Eat-Clean Diet Body Makeover Challenge winner, Megan Murphy. This gem of a young lady brightened our studio with her inspiring story and incredible success. We flew Megan in from Florida for a shoot with Paul Buceta to be featured in Oxygen magazine. We shot all day and Megan rocked the studio. She was quite the natural! And it's no wonder since she has a lot to be proud of after losing a stunning 98 lbs & totally turning her life around! The best part about Megan - she's a truly genuine person. I have posted a scrapbook of photos from the day on my ToscaReno.com site. Please check them out. Stay tuned for future challenges. You're our next winner!

Cooler 1 Has Begun

How is everyone doing so far on the Cooler 1 Challenge that I mentioned on Friday?

I'm going to give you a peak at what I'll be eating every day for the next 2 weeks (and 2 weeks only). My meals won't vary much at all because this is very tight eating. I will also post a new meal each day (hopefully) with a picture for some added interest.

It's hard to eat this strictly... but we can do it!!

Come on Makeover Challengers (and anyone else joining us)!! Only a few weeks left!

7:00 a.m. – 1/3 cup dry oatmeal (2/3 cup cooked) topped with 2 tablespoons ground flax seed, 1 tablespoon bee pollen and 1 tablespoon wheat germ; 6 egg whites scrambled or boiled; 1 cup green tea; 1 liter water

9:30 a.m. – 6 oz lean grilled chicken breast; ½ cup raw veggies – cucumbers, radish, green beans or lettuce leaves; 500 ml water

Noon – 1 ½ cups mixed salad greens with 3 radishes and 4” piece of cucumber cut up; no salad dressing only lemon juice; 1 cup water packed tuna; green tea; 500 ml water

2:30 p.m. – 6 oz. lean grilled chicken breast; ½ cup raw veggies – cucumbers, radish, raw asparagus and green beans or lettuce leaves; 500 ml water

Dinner – ½ cup brown rice; 1 cup steamed green veggies – broccoli, green beans, asparagus, spinach; 6 oz white fish grilled or baked dry; 500 ml water

Eat-Clean Diet Body Makeover Challenge - Cooler 1 Fun!

There are just over 3 weeks remaining in the Eat-Clean Diet Body Makeover Challenge!!

In support of all of our eager participants I will be starting Cooler 1 from the Eat-Clean Diet as my main nutrition plan for the next few weeks. It will be tough (especially with holiday parties popping up right, left, and center), but the payoff will be huge. This is especially true since my Body Makeover Challengers and I will be doing it together!!

If you are in need of a metabolism boost, a plateau breaker or a diet overhaul please join me in supporting our Sisters (and Brothers) In Iron as they push through the last few weeks of our challenge.

Not sure what the Eat-Clean Diet Body Makeover Challenge is? Check it out here! You may be eligible to win big, including a spread in Oxygen magazine and a consult with me.

Happy Friday - Cooler 1 Here We Come!

p.s. Don't forget... Cooler 1 should only be followed for 2 weeks or less. It is not a maintainable long-term eating plan as recommended in the Eat-Clean Diet. It is only for prepping for contests, photo shoots, breaking plateaus, kick starting a diet plan, and the final push of challenges! Read more in the Eat-Clean Diet, and always check with your doctor before beginning any NEW diet or exercise plan.

Makeover Challenge!!!

We are coming into the last month of the Eat-Clean Diet Body Makeover Challenge!!!

Who's participating??

There's still time!!!!! Visit my site here to learn more about it.

I can't wait to read your success stories and choose the winner.

Finally Home

It has been a LOOOOOONNGGG journey to and from PA for the QVC appearance!!

I didn't think I was going to make it yesterday and then I didn't make it home last night. Finally, after much waiting, I touched down in T.O. this morning. Phewf!! I'm so happy to be home.

The QVC appearance went very well yesterday. I hope some of you were able to catch it. If not here is the link for your enjoyment.

On Thursday (before my mad dash to PA) we celebrated Chelsea's Sweet 16. I've decided I can't eat French food... a little too rich for my liking. Here are some pics from that night:



And here are some photos from earlier this week when I met Eat-Clean Diet Body Makeover Challenge winner, Melanie Nevins (and her husband Travis). We had a lovely Clean Eating dinner with them after the photo shoot at Grano, an intimate Italian restaurant. Lookin' great, Mel!!
