Long Time, No See.

It's been forever, hasn't it?

 

The last time I actually "vlogged" & "blogged" was August 8th, 2012. Today is November 1st, 2013.

 

So- where have I been for almost 14 months?

 

Well, as nature had ran its course, and our lives continue on, my life did too. I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Marketing, I survived being a 21 year old, and along with these great life events came something negative...

 

My weight gain.

 

You see, I will never say that "The Bouari Clinic did not work for me", for I know it was never them to blame my weight gain. I blame myself. I blame the fact that right when I turned 21 years old, I began to go out more often, I drank more often, I was around alcohol more often, and guess what?...You got it! I gained weight. I didn't go on my maintenance plan because I was so happy that I was 21 and that I lost the weight that I previously did before... and next thing you know.. 14 months later... I'm back to square one.

 

As you can see, I tried to go on Bouari again last year in August...but for some reason, I wasn't motivated enough to do it.

 

Next thing you know, I'm 5'0'' and I had reached my all time high of 209 lbs.

 

THERE! I said it. 209 lbs. It's absolutely disgusting.

 

It finally hit me about 2 months ago that I needed to make a change because I was turning into what I call, a "negative Nads" ( Nads is my nickname ). I have never been a jealous person at all, up until this point in time of my life. I was upset about what certain people had, what they looked like, what they wore....the most smallest things bothered me. But what really upset me, was when I saw an individual from my past in a near distance, and I turned away, hoping she wouldn't see me, because I was embarrassed of my appearance. THAT, was not the Nadia I knew. I never was embarrassed of myself. Never, ever.

 

So 2 months ago, I decided I needed to start a clean eating regimen .  I got back in my routine of eating and choosing healthy options and my weight loss started. After those 2 months, I knew I wanted to go back on Bouari, which is the new SOZA Clinic. I felt as if I had enough confidence and self motivation that I could do this again without giving up. So here I am.

 

Currently, I weigh 191.4 lbs. My overall goal is to be 125 lbs...not because I want to be super-skinny, but just so I'm at a true and healthy weight for my height, in hopes that I will never face my wake-up call again.

 

I'm back...and I know you are all yearning for more.

Guess Who's Back?!

I'm finally back into action! This time with MIC weight loss shots!

Even though I gained some weight in the 10 weeks that I was completely off of the program, I have lost 7lbs of it in 7 days!

Check it out and continue to look at my YouTube videos and my blog!

Yay! :)

Bouari Clinic Review: Day 60...6 Days Later :O

So I know most of you who are following me either on my blog or on my YouTube channel (or hopefully both!) are probably wondering what ever happened to my final day review of the 60 day protocol. Am I right?! Well, unfortunately I admitted in my video that I'm lazy and I was "too exhausted" to do anything this past weekend. But here it is...what you've all been waiting for!

Can I get a drum roll please!?!(Sorry, I had to) .....31 lbs. in a little over 60 days AND STILL CONTINUING to lose weight! How's that for ya!?

Like I said before, I want to continue on the program because I would absolutely LOVE to lose another 35-40lbs...basically be unrecognizable. That's my mission. 

I'll keep you updated on my NEW 60 day protocol in the making because I technically haven't started that yet. So keep a look out on that and I hope that for those of you who are starting the Bouari Clinic because of me, I wish you all the best and for those of you who are still skeptical or want to learn more about the clinic in itself, please feel free to contact me! Just shoot me a comment below either on my blog page or on my YouTube page and I'll make sure to respond ASAP!

 

Thank you guys again and I wish you all a safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

My Minute of Fame :)

After having this blog for the past 6 weeks, I've realized the potential I have to further my weight loss even more because of "viewers like you" (I'm totally stealing that line from a TV Network). I've been receiving responses from people from Louisiana to Las Vegas to even people out of the US! It's crazy how the internet reaches out to everyone in the entire world and I am more than thankful that people are happy to see me progress.

I must say that if it wasn't for all of the encouragement and support from the many viewers and subscribers of my blog and even my YouTube videos, I would probably not have the strength to do so well on the program.

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone.

Not only has this blog helped me build relationships with people throughout the nation, but it also gave me the opportunity to go on live television. Unfortunately the segment itself was extremely short, but it gave me exposure to experience something I have never done before! I was extremely hesitant to do it at first, but in the end, I must say that I was happy I did it!

So the reason of this post is because I made another YouTube video discussing this awesome experience I had on TV! Below my video I will post the link so you can watch the segment and share it with your friends and family! I've met some really great, down to earth people on that segment and their stories are even greater than mine! A fellow Greek, Konstantine, was on the show with me. He lost a whopping 125lbs in 120 days! Debbie and her husband lost almost 100lbs combined within 2 months! They all had health issues due to their weight, but after their huge and successful changes with the Bouari Clinic, Debbie didn't need to get a knee surgery after all, and her husband was originally on 4 blood pressure medications to now only taking 2. 

It's amazing what the Bouari Clinic can do for people and I will have to say, this IS THEE BEST decision I have EVER made in my entire life!

 I can not wait to continue on with another 60 days!

Bouari Clinic Review: Day 50

So here is my Day 50 video on my lifestyle change with the Bouari Clinic. The video itself is kind of long, but please bare with me. I swear I like to hear myself talk sometimes. :)

Overall I've heard such great feedback from a lot of people and I'm happy to see and hear how many people are truly inspired by my blog and my YouTube videos!

Soon I'll be done with this 60 day protocol but I want to do even BETTER (weight loss wise) in my next 60 days with a fresh start to another protocol! Wish me luck!

Keep on keepin' on! :)

Day 30

I can't believe it's day 30 ! I'm half way done my protocol, even though I have another 60 day protocol to go! Check out my video to see how much I've lost in pounds and in inches, and the cost of the program. Thank you to those that have been checking in with me on a regular basis! It means the world and I am beyond thrilled to see the changes just in my face... just compare my Day 1 video to now... CRAZY!

So for all of you who are looking to do this... all I can say is JUST DO IT! I haven't felt this way in awhile and I overall just feel healthy and great! It is a lifestyle change, so if you aren't dedicated, the results won't show.

If you put your mind to it, anything is possible...

Flavorful Baked Beef Tenderloin with Sauteed Asparagus

Hi guys! I know time has passed since my last post and  I'm still going strong with my weight loss! I won't reveal what I have lost until Thursday which is my next weigh in.

Now, something most of you guys have all been waiting for- a new recipe!

I was told to eat more red meat, (which I'm really not a huge fan of), to help me increase my weight loss. Let's also keep in mind that I have never in my life cooked this kind of meat by myself before. I was up for the challenge!  I quickly made it and I was not only surprised but impressed with my cooking skills! (Not to toot my own horn or anything) :)

Flavorful Baked Beef Tenderloin

Ingredients:

Beef tenderloin

soy sauce

red pepper flakes

sea salt

pepper

garlic powder

extra virgin olive oil

2-3 garlic cloves

asparagus

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Take your beef tenderloin and poke holes for absorption of seasonings with a fork on both sides of meat. Pour as much or as little soy sauce on one side. Season with the rest of the herbs and spices on both sides of the meat. (I used the ones listed above.) Put in a shallow pan and put in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Time will all depend on how many pieces of meat you have. I personally had two pieces to bake.

 

For the asparagus, chop up 2-3 garlic cloves. In a pan, on medium-high heat,warm 2-3 tsp. of olive oil. Then put cleaned asparagus and the cloves in. Sautee until the asparagus is a little brown and somewhat flimsy, unless you like crunchy asparagus.

 

Voila! All done! A healthy and flavorful meal in less than 25 minutes! Take THAT Rachael Ray!
