As far as excersize....I was doing bootcamp about 4 nights a week. At least once a week I was doing hot yoga. Yoga does help to build strength & stamina. In the city I live in we have these huge staircases in the river valley (like at least 100 stairs long). I'd sprint the stairs several times. It really gets the heart going and it builds up so much strength in the quads (which also comes in handy in boudoir activities....just saying)!
I don't eat a whole lot of red meat. Chicken and turkey tend to be lower in fat. Almost anything you buy you can get a low-fat or non-fat option....skim milk, non-fat yoghurt, low-fat cheese, turkey bites (instead of pepperoni sticks), etc. Safeway is good as they have the "Eating Right" brand for a lot of entrees (chicken breast, low-fat burgers, turkey burgers, low-fat meatballs, etc). For desserts I buy the Skinny Cow brand ice-cream. I know they're expensive but it's low in fat & calories.
A typical day.....
Breakfast: non-fat yoghurt, fibre1 bar
Morning snack: apple or nectarine
Lunch: turkey pita, with lettuce & low-fat cheese
Afternoon snack: carrot sticks or snap peas
Dinner: skinless boneless chicken breast, steamed veggies
Evening snack: bowl of cereal with skim milk
I hope this helps Leigh
