I Really Like You Squat Challenge + Healthy Snack Ideas!
WOW!!! What a crazy week! “The Perfect Body” was literally featured on almost every media source…it was on the CNN homepage, Yahoo! homepage, my name was trending on Facebook, trending on Buzzfeed, Jared Leto facebooked it…I mean OMG! This craziness has never ever happened to me before.
I am so happy at the overwhelming positive response the video received GLOBALLY. We made the whole world recognize that body shaming is NOT OKAY. My main goal with the video and this controversial instagram photo…
…was to get people talking about the beauty standard in our society. What’s beautiful? What’s not? What’s real? What’s not? What are we supposed to think about ourselves when people are constantly telling us that we’re never good enough? That we’re not skinny enough and that our butts aren’t big enough? This ends up hurting young girls’ self-esteem as they grow up. That ultimately negatively affects their self-image long term.
Well guys, I couldn’t be prouder of us. Remember in my first fat shaming video I told you that it was our responsibility to battle body shaming? I don’t think there could have been a better way to do it. We captured the hearts of people and media across the world. And guess what? The cyberbullies somehow were missing last week amongst all of the positivity…hmm…interesting isn’t it?
*SQUISH*
Now! Let’s talk about your new workout video! Are you a fan of
Introducing the “I Really Like You Squat Challenge“! Let’s just say I took squats to a WHOLE ‘NOTHER LEVEL. It was really hard for me – I was SCREAMING!! I saw some comments from you guys saying that it was so hard you literally fell over. That made me laugh. Sorry, I shouldn’t be laughing. I love that you push yourself so hard! But please, safety first!
Next…a healthy snacks video!
You will be learning how to make some of my fave open face sandwiches! I am using Ezekiel bread in all of them. Ezekiel is a sprouted grain bread that is higher in fiber and protein than regular white bread. It also does not bloat me as much! You can find it in the frozen aisle at your local grocery store.
I am in love with my Teddy Bear Toast! He’s made of peanut butter, bananas, and blueberries! Literally, so cute! If you have kids…this would be perfect for them! Use #blogilates and #cheapcleaneats when you make this so that I can like and comment on your post :)
So…I gotta go pack for NYC. I am gonna be there for a long while. I hope to run into some of you! Is it warmer yet on the East Coast?
