Revelation Fitness Rocks!

"Down 20 pounds this morning! Same weight I was when I left college 18 years ago! Who knew that was even possible...I guess Mariah did!

Shout out to Keith for keeping the pressure on!"

-Renee Mitchell Westlake Body Camp


This quote from Renee is exactly why I love doing what I do. She is proof that with hard work, dedication, and a refusal to give up, ANYTHING is possible.

Nice job Renee, you earned it.

Tilapia

So I hate fish, always have. I hate the smell, taste, texture, and everything else about it. I'm also not very creative with my cooking so my recipes for chicken, turkey, and egg whites have gotten old and boring. I found a way to cook tilapia and I absolutely love it so if you're like me and you are not a fan of fish then I suggest you give it a try.

This is how the magic happens:

-spray some pam in a frying pan
-season fillet with garlic powder, lemon pepper, and parsley flakes on each side
-put stove top on med/high heat
-cook each side for 2:30 minutes

5 minutes is all it takes for this delicious protein packed meal to be cooked!

Heavy Lifting, Egg Whites, Facebook and More

So from now on I will be posting weekly photos of myself until I reach my photo shoot date of August 31 2010. Anyone reading this can hold me accountable for either not posting my photos and/or looking like crap in my photos.



My target goal weight was set at 165lbs and due to a few diet tweaks I have already reached that goal. I am still at 8% body fat so I still have a little ways to go to reach my goal of 5%. This last week I have been lifting heavy in order to increase my muscle while still making sure that I'm not losing anymore weight. A few thoughts come to mind from this:



-I like heavy lifting more than I thought I did

-I haven't been in the 160's since right after high school



If you're like me and you are not a big fan of egg whites then I have a treat for you. Take an ice cube tray, spray it lightly with pam, fill it with egg whites, sprinkle some lemon pepper on top, throw it in the microwave for 1 minute at a time constantly rotating until they are all cooked. Now you can put these in some tupperware and munch on them throughout the day. You're welcome.



So apparently I'm officially the last person on earth to sign up for Facebook, but I'm in now so if you're reading this and we are not already friends be sure and add me.

My Goals

I am setting a goal for myself to reach 5% body fat by August 31 2010. I have a list of 5 personal goals / reasons for wanting to accomplish this.

1. Lean muscle and definition. I'm going to go from 11% body fat to 5%.

2. I want a 6 pack.

3. I want to look my best for my photoshoot for Revelation Fitness on August 31st.

4. I want to improve my knowledge in bodybuilding for future clients that I train.

5. I want to blog about this so I can be held accountable by myself and anyone else who reads this.
