Jami's Journey in the Offseason: Achieving Balance......
Achieving balance in the off-season is difficult for most athletes and I am definitely no exception. It is even more difficult during the holidays when stress and temptation are high! This year I have the added pressure of my new gym opening. So how am I coping with this challenging time? Simple, I follow the four P’s.
Canuck Corner-Installment #3
Hi Everyone!
December is here and we all know what that means - tonnes of holiday shopping, traveling and eating! Normally I would point out the differences between our Canuck holidays and those in the USA, but this time around we all have the same days off, and celebrate in similar ways, so no need :-) The holidays are a time for family, food and fun, and of course this month also marks the time when the Arnold International invitations are sent out! Getting an invitation to the Arnold pro show is right up there on any IFBB pro's wish list, so all of the athletes who have submitted applications will be waiting with bated breath for the third week of December. Kim Tilden was the last Canadian IFBB Figure Pro to get an invitation to the Figure International (in 2010), and with no Canadians on the roster in 2011, I'm curious to see if one of us makes the cut for 2012! I am confident that Canadian athletes will do us proud again this year --so I am hoping to see some names like Justine Munro, Jodi Boam, Mindi O'Brien and Myriam Capes on the lists, just to name a few :-)
Cinnamon Chocolate Protein Pancakes
Hey SinOrSlimer’s!
Protein Pancakes are probably one of the most well known low carb dishes but they are usually quite bland and lack flavor. After multiple attempts and experimenting with different variations, I’ve come up with my own chocolate cinnamon protein pancakes packed with a delicious flavor you’ll love! To anyone who is not a fan of chocolate….stay tuned for my vanilla and almond protein pancakes!
Emotional Eating Disorders
Binge eating disorder is the most common eating disorder in the United States affecting 3.5% of females and 2% of males and is prevalent in up to 30% of those seeking weight loss treatments. (Although it is not yet classified as a separate eating disorder) The thing about Binge Eating Disorder or Emotional Eating isn't that it is a nutrition problem, it is a mental and psychological issues that may be far deeper rooted than one would be prepared to face.
Candice Keene Catches Us Up On Her Offseason..........
Hey guys!
It’s been awhile since I last blogged. It’s amazing how fast time goes by, doesn’t it!? I mean, the Arnold is already 13 weeks away! I am starting my diet next Monday when I get back to Florida from my vacation. I have been in my hometown of Phoenix since the Monday after Nationals. 13 whole days! I love coming out here every year for Thanksgiving. Each year I would come for a week, but a week is just not long enough!
