Tamar Cohl Gluten Free Fit Guru

I had a great dinner last night.  A little bit off of my contest diet, but it had the same principle.  I have to switch things up ocassionally or I will go INSANE!  Eating Tilapia 4 x day can be brutal, so last night I had…..SNOOK. 

For those of you that live in Florida, you know that SNOOK are only legal to keep at certain times of the year and they have to be between 28″-33″.  I know this because my husband is an FWC State Police Officer (Marine Patrol).  We have a friend that goes fishing and he caught a 29″ snook and decided to keep it to EAT IT!  It was good.

Here is what I had and how I prepared it:

Snook Filet: Broiled with a bit of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Then I had a yummy salad that I came up with while strolling aimlessly through Publix last night…..

Arugula ( I am Italian and I LOVE the more bitter lettuces and baby greens)
Pecans
Dried Cherries
1/2 Fresh Peach
1 tbsp ground flax meal

To top off the salad, I made my own Lemon-Lime Vinagrette:

Extra Virgin Olive oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Lemon Juice
Lime Juice
Greek Strained Yogurt
Stevia Leaf to sweeten

It was OFF the chain INSANE GOOD!    My husband loved it, too.

For dessert, I had:

1 cup ***e 0% Greek Yogurt
Dried Cherries
1/2 peach
A few Pecans
Agave Nectar to sweeten (just a tad)
A hint of lime juice

Can I say DELICIOUS????

I am totally dedicated to LIVING A GLUTEN FREE lifestyle and all of this was GLUTEN FREE!    If anyone tries this, let me know!  xoxo Tamar

Well, it is almost time…..for the biggest stage show of my life!  The 2009 NPC Bikini Nationals to be held in Hollywood, Florida on November 20-21st!  I am so excited!  On October 10,  I competed in the NPC Fort Lauderdale Cup.  It was a beautiful IFBB Pro and NPC show.  I qualified to compete at Nationals and I am going for it this year, especially because Fort Lauderdale is just a stones throw away for me.  I have been busting my ass dieting since March 2009 under the guidance of my coach, Hany Rambod.  I have had to lose some muscle mass, mostly in my legs, and have been working out hard!  With the knee issues that I have, that has been difficult at times, but I am bound and determined to get on that stage in November.    I have made great progress and need to lose about 5-7 more lbs…mostly muscle….and lean out those legs.  But I can do it.    That is my brief update on what I am doing!    God Bless!  xoxo Tamar
