â€œHealthyâ€ Snacks That Donâ€™t Fuel Your Body

Confused about what to eat when you are starting a new workout program? On Fox Morning News Extra I showed viewers why 100 calorie packs are not good! Also, I didn’t get to talk about the plate of powdered donuts…but they are NOT one of my healthy items! I was trying to show that the Yoplait yogurt I brought had 27 grams of sugar and that was the same as 7 powdered donuts!! YIKES

*Also, not all “healthy” frozen meals are healthy. Most have a ton of sodium, preservatives and “fake” ingredients that may make your mouth happy but your body (including those thighs) are screaming: “What the heck is this crap?”!!

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
