Being from a large Italian family, food was always the center of attention, I can remember spending hours in the kitchen with my Grandmother and Mom learning all the family recipes. Although I was healthy growing up, as an adult I found my lifestyle and hectic schedule was catching up with me. I made a decision to take control of my health and fitness so I pushed myself to train and compete in fitness competitions. I loved finding solutions to eating the food I love and created healthier versions to fit into everyday life. During my training, I was introduced to Beverly International supplements by a more experienced trainer. On his advice, I used them throughout my preparations. These products are phenomenal. Beverly’s UMP allows me to create recipes for my diet that are both healthy and delicious.
I was certified as a personal trainer and nutrition consultant by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in 2001.Through the years I have traveled around the US doing fitness modeling and promotions, and I have worked with some amazing athletes and leaders in the fitness industry. My personal lifetime fitness journey has been very rewarding, but being part of someone else’s fitness journey is just as fulfilling as my own success. Being a fitness trainer and nutrition coach is about helping others reach their fitness potential while living a healthy balanced lifestyle. I hope this article will offer you some tips and guidance to be a success in your own Reshape project.

1 cup of spinach
1 cup of kale
1/4 cup shredded carrot
1 tsp of “greens” mix (I prefer Trader Joe’s brand, but your local health food store will have options that will work)
Fat
1/4 avocado or 1oz coconut oil
1 tbs ground flaxseeed
6-8 oz Almond Milk

½ scoop UMP vanilla

Beat eggs and UMP together then add cinnamon. Soak bread in egg batter and then cook on stove over medium heat until golden brown. Top with fresh organic berries.
Homemade Protein Bars
Protein
2 scoops of Vanilla UMP protein powder
Carb
1 cup of dry oatmeal
Fat
1/2 cup all natural no sugar added peanut butter or almond butter 2 tablespoons flaxseed (optional)
Flavors
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Spray an 8 by 8 dish with Pam. Mix all the dry ingredients together and then add in the vanilla and nut butter of choice. You may also add a touch of water until a sticky dough forms. Spread dough into pan and set in freezer until dough hardens. Cut into aprox 8 -10 squares and wrap bars in foil or little snack bags. Store bars in fridge or freezer and enjoy as a healthy meal replacement on the go.
Mental Focus and Visualization
This is critical to reaching your goals and being successful at any sport or com-petition. You have to believe it to achieve it. Your thoughts are a very powerful force and the types of conversations you have with yourself can either make or break you. I always keep a positive mental attitude, it’s the only thing that gets me through the pain of training hard. I also will visualize myself on stage or running through the finish line.

Rest and Recovery
This is an extremely important part of any training regimen. Your body needs to rest and recover so you can train harder the next day. Here are some things I do daily to make sure I am recovering in the best way.
- Ice Baths: After long runs or grueling workouts I will sit in the bathtub and pour 5-6 bags of ice into the water and soak for 20 mins, brrrrrr...
- Lights outs: I’m in bed by 10pm and up by 6am. I suggest 8+ hours of scheduled sleep every night.
- Black out!: I make my room completely dark. Your body produces melatonin at night and you will get the deepest sleep with no artificial light distraction.
Tip
I write down everything from workouts to diet when I am training for an event. That way I can always look back to see how I can improve or teach others from my own experience.
My personal goal as an athlete and coach is to continue to set higher standards for myself. Fitness and nutrition are not just hobbies; they are keys to a better way of life. I know my challenge is to make this life the best it can be, and I’m blessed to have the ability to help others make their lives more fulfilling as a Reshape Coach with Reshape the Nation.
