Simply Charming

On Dec. 12th, I spent a wonderful evening supporting some wonderful teenagers at the first annual C.H.A.R.M. Awards. The event was hosted by Miss NJ USA 2009, Kaity Rodriquez, founder of the RoleModel Program where she teaches young women about the importance of being beautiful both inside and out. Miss Rodriquez is the epitome of a Beauty Queen doing beautiful things. I enjoyed the evening with one of my dearest friends the incredible Rev. Tiffany Williams who was the recipient of the Esther Award. Congratulations to all the young ladies involved in the RoleModel program.

Teaching Kids Heart Healthy Habits

As a mother, it is very important to me that my children eat foods that help them grow big and strong. With childhood obesity on the rise and heart disease being the # 1 killer of adults, teaching kids healthy eating habits is so important to ensure healthy habits as adults. I enjoyed spending some time with Miss Middlesex County, Carissa Polumbo and the children of KinderCare in Old Bridge NJ, talking about healthy snack choices and the importance of being active and physically fit.

Swimsuit Sexy

Proving that fitness can be maintained after marriage and children, here I am with the beautiful Mrs. Iowa United States 2009 Michelle Beardt. To stay physically fit healthy eating choices and exercise are a must. Choose foods that are high in protein and low in fat. A typical day's menu for me is breakfast: 1boiled egg, 1 slice wheat toast (lightly buttered), choice of fruit, 1 link turkey sausage, cup of green tea, snack: handful of almonds, lunch: grilled chicken salad, flavored water, snack: choice of yogurt cup, fruit, granola bar, dinner: choice of grill chicken, fish, or lean steak, a vegetable or garden salad, choice cup of rice, whole wheat pasta, or 1 baked sweet potato, flavored water. Sticking to this lifestyle eating plan has helped me stay in shape even after giving birth to 4 kids!
