I've always admired people who are able to take a passion and turn it into a career....and in some cases, a brand....I site examples of Trish Stratus, Matt Hardy, Allison Moyer, Brittany Beede....the last two in particular I admire b/c it's more like what I'd like to do which is to help and encourage others to take on the healthy and fit lifestyle....but how does one get to that point? well, here's a few theories:
1- practice what you preach: anyone who reads my blogs know that I struggle with this one daily....but maybe if I get back into the realm of actually being hands on with clients I'd be able to keep this one fully in focus
2- PR! facebook, twitter, blogs....anything to get your name out there and promote your message....and a website sure doesn't hurt either
3- word of mouth- they tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and so on, and so on (thank you Wayne's World)
opinions? more theories? ADVICE????

recipe du jour....
very simple but oh so very good! calories are approximate since things can vary....I am using raw baby spinach, raw pepper, and fresh caught salmon from Kroger....
6oz wild caught salmon
3c baby spinach
~1/2c raw green pepper slices
1tbsp dulse flakes
2tbsp Annie's Naturals Lite Honey Mustard
cals: 328
fat: 11g
carbs: 8g
pro: 47g
this can be tailored to your needs (like if you need less protein per meal just scale back on the salmon) but these numbers are pretty dang good! and only 3g of the 8g of carbs comes from sugar....not too shabby!
now I can see you now, reading this and going, wtf are dulse flakes! hahaha well never fear! here's your explanation:
dulse flakes are basically ground up sea vegetables (algae)....now while that may not sound appealing on the surface it actually it an easy way to spruce up a salad or some soup....they add a salty taste to anything you add them to....which can be a great benefit if you're trying to reduce your salt intake....dulse flakes are high in iodine which is excellent for natural support of the thyroid....you'll also find iron and vitB6....I can barely taste them when I add them into a salad....it's an easy way to increase your nutritional bang for your buck so why not!

Randomness featuring your's truly :)

ok so on a recent google search of myself (oh don't act like you've never done it) I found myself all over the place....not that I'm entirely shocked b/c I did do quite a bit in 2007 when I competed nationally. But I guess I was taken aback a little at some of the pics I had never seen (like stills from video I've yet to see of Jr Natls-and can't see b/c I don't have a membership!) and in languages other than English. Apparently the 'nator booty is universal ;) So here's some links to randomness I've found:
^^ anyone have a membership????? ^^
^ this is the french one I referred to in one of my pic comments-oh big, fat LOL
