Many of you have asked about supplements.  As most of you know I am an all natural physique athlete.    I use Isagenix for nutritional support and love their supplements.  I really don't need anything else.

 For daily needs I use the Ageless Essentials pack.  It includes Fish oil, Revesterol, BCAA's and multi vitamins.  It is everything I need for a tough workout recovery.

For pre workout I use either the Eshot (my favorite) or Want more Energy with Ionix.  Both give me sustainable energy to get through my weight training and cardio.

Post workout is IsaPro.  36g of all natural whey protein.  Just enough carbs to replenish what I used and keep me feeling great even after my toughest workouts.

For extras I use Isagreens which gives me vitamins. minerals and antioxidants of 19 salads!  And IsaDelight Chocolates infused with green tea to keep my metabolism burning!

What do you guys use?

What an amazing experience this weekend at Fitness America at Foxwoods.  The girls that I have met I will carry on friendships with forever.  I love surrounding myself with like minded fit and healthy people.
The most important thing I took away from this weekend is not a trophy or flowers it is the motivation and inspiration I have to reach out to others ans help them reach their health and fitness goals.  I am more motivated then EVER to grow Jennifer Gallant Fitness and help as many people as I can live a clean lifestyle.  Please share my blog, my website www.jennifergallantfitness.com and my facebook page www.facebook.com/isaleanandmean.
Here are some pictures from the weekend.  Cannot wait to see my professional ones!!!

Foxwoods is FINALLY here!  I am so excited all my hard work is showing.  Today and tomorrow are cleanse days to rid all those toxins and be as lean as can be.  I feel great!  This show prep has been SO EASY with Isagenix.  I am continually amazed by the results of these products.   Today I did my last workout before the show, went mountain bike riding and rode my horse!  Such a great day.  My clothes and food are all packed.  Off to bed early and up and out before 7am tomorrow.  Photo shoot at 11am at Foxwoods.
What are you up to this weekend?  When I get back its right back to work.  New recipes and workouts for May!  YAY!  I also received my pictures from the last photo shoot.  I LOVE them!  Stay tuned to see them soon.

I love resistance bands!  Try this great workout to feel the burn.  http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/arms/express/resistance-band-arm-workout/?sssdmh=dm17.661176&esrc=nwfitdailytip040813


I also love how great I am feeling less then 1 week out from my show.  I am still using my Isagenix products EVERYDAY and today for the first time I got my body composition done.  It was pretty cool.  The best part was my visceral fat is only 1%!  Visceral fat is the bad stuff around your organs that is caused by toxins in the environment.  This isn't something you can get rid of by diet alone.  You NEED to cleanse.  I'm not talking spending the day in the bathroom.  The cleanse I use is a gentle cleanse that excretes the toxins from my body through the urine.  Every few months I do the Isagenix 9 day cleanse the results are AMAZING!  You should definitely give it a try.  Its a great time to get some spring cleaning done!

Week of show!  This is my favorite part.  All of my hard work is finally showing through.  I have waxing, tanning and nail appointments all made.  I am finding it is 2 weeks out from the show that is the hardest.  I wasn't seeing the results I wanted and was feeling really crappy about my performance.  Thank goodness for my fiance Greg who just shakes his head at me and convinces me to keep going.  He is such and amazing support love him so much.  He definitely gets the brunt of my low carb crankiness.  Now the end is in sight and so are my abs!
My job now is to enjoy the ride.
Hope you are all doing well and enjoying your April workouts.  May is right around the corner lets get outside!

What a week!  With the Boston Marathon Tragedy I have spent a lot of time catching up with family and friends.  It really puts into perspective how short life can be and how it can change in the blink of an eye.  I have really thought about what is truly important to me and I always come back to my WHY.  Why I do this.    I want to inspire my family and friends to live a happy, healthy and fit lifestyle.  Here is a fabulous video my friend Matt Perkins put together for me.  Hope you enjoy.

What a day!  The weather was gorgeous, my workouts were fabulous AND my 6 year old was cooperative!  That is a small miracle in itself. 

We as a family have decided recently we are all going to pay more attention to our nutrition.  Easpecially my daughters.  I am 15 days out from my next competition, my diet doesn't get any cleaner then it is right now.  Kaelyn's diet is another story!  I let her have treats ALL the time.  At this point they are not even treats anymore....So, How can I lower my daughters sugar intake without her feeling she is being deprived?  Protein Cookies!!  These cookies look like poop but they taste great and Kaelyn loves them!  

Try them with your kids...

In a large bowl add

1 1/2 cup flour (we use gluten free)

1 tsp baking powder

2 cups Isalean powder chocolate or vanilla your preference

2 tsp cinnamon

In a separate bowl 

1 1/2 cups greek yogurt (we use fat free plain)

1/2 cup homey

1/4 cup oil (we use sunflower)

1 egg

2 tsp vanilla

In a third bowl 

1 cup oats 

1 cup dark chocolate chips

Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients stir well.  Add in chips and oats.  

Scoop onto cookie sheet

Cook in oven 350 degrees for 10 minutes... 

Enjoy

Happy Wednesday!  How is everyone this week?  Are you reaching your goals?  Most are so motivated on Mondays and by Wednesdays it is starting to wain.... Remind yourself of your goals.  Write down your steps to get there.  For me that is scheduling my workouts and meals.  I do all this on Sunday but on Wednesday I usually reevaluate to make sure I'm still on track and change anything I need to change.
Let's hear your goals!  How can I help you reach them?  I am 3 weeks out from my next competition my most important goal at this point is sticking to my nutrition.

Every time I think of cheating on my nutrition I remind myself that I DO NOT want to undo all my hard work in the gym!  

SO ~eat clean and keep moving~
