Cosmopink Style is Supporting 2009's Pink October Scramble
Pink October coordinates an annual series of events that are held in our local communities to help women who are struggling to survive the physical and financial battle of breast cancer. All donations and proceeds from the events go directly to Geweke's Caring For Women Foundation, that reaches out and identifies who these women are, and helps with their every day living expenses; from PG&E bills to doctors appointments. One thing I have learned is that hard times can fall on anyone, people are perfectly healthy one minute and diagnosed with a terminal disease the next. That really makes me appreciate all the blessings in my life, and realize just how precious and short life is. I would like to personally show my support for this great foundation by donating 1 Free Month of Personal Training. If you are interested in showing your support and would like to enjoy a day out on the green please click on the link below

My New Favorite Energy Drink!
I was working out the other day and my workout partner suggested I try this new energy drink, he told me it was something he had been using for a while and it really gave him sustained energy but without the jitters, or that shaky feeling you sometimes get with other energy drinks. What he had me try was called FRS Healthy Energy. It contains a ton of good for you antioxidants and vitamins like your typical B's, A's and E's. But the Mega Antioxidant in this product is called Quercetin. Apparently Quercetin is a naturally occurring antioxidant in some of the foods we eat such as blueberrie, red onions,apples and cocoa- YUM! What it does is actually increase the amount of mitochondria in your cells helping you function better on a cellular level! Ladies this stuff is awesome for your skin too - especially if you work out because of all those free radicals being produced as a by product of your workouts. Okay so enough of the scientific stuff, this is by far the best energy drink I have ever tried and really lives up to its hype, awesome clean energy and focuss! Did I mention Lance drinks this stuff too? For more information or to order click on the link below!

Summer Cocktails That Won't Ruin Your Waistline
Along with summertime come bbq's and cocktails, two things that can definitely sabatoge anyones diet and hard work throughout the week at the gym. Here is the low down on alcohol, it contains 7 calories per gram! Protien and Carbohydrates contain 4 and Fats contain 9. So alcohol is almost as high in calories as a gram of fat! That being said when you combine it with all the sugary mixers that most bar tenders use; your average 3-4 oz cocktail ends up being around 400 calories! I don't know about you but 400 calories is about 40 minutes of cardio for me! So here are some cleaner cocktail recipes to help keep you on track and not ruin your waistline while enjoying some summer fun.
Margarita
3oz Light Limeade ( premade frozen) or make your own with limes, water, and sugar substitute
Juice of 1 Lime
2 oz Tequila
1.5 Triple Sec
Ice
Blend and serve or simply pour over ice. Salt to taste (optional)
Calories:180
Cosmopolitan
3 oz Light Sugar Free Cranberry Juice Cocktail or Sub Crystal Light ( even fewer calories )
1 oz Rasberry Vodka
Squeeze of Lime
Lemon Twist for Garnish
Shake together with ice and strain into fancy glass of your choice
Calories: 98
As with anything enjoy in moderation! Having a party at home is also more personal, economical, and keeps you safe and off the roads.

Santa Cruz to Capitola Wharf to Wharf Race
July 26th 2009 I ran in the 37th annual Wharf to Wharf race from Santa Cruz to Capitola. What a blast! The weather was perfect, a nice cool 60 degrees and what a great group of people! The race is only six miles and is full of eye candy. It starts in down town Santa Cruz by the wharf and continues on to cliff drive which follows the coast line and twists and turns through some great residential areas along the way. We also got spoiled with a different live band to rock us on our way at every mile, and lots of people on the side lines to cheer us on! I will definitely be doing this run again next year, and be lining up at a faster starting time! There were 15,000 people in this race and the first 8 minutes you couldn't even run it was so crowded! My race pace for my marathon 3 years ago was a 10 minute mile, but I have actually increased my race pace finally to an 8-9 min mile! Unfortunately because we couldn't run the first 8 minutes or so of this race my first mile took 15 minutes! But I made up time and finished in 1 hour and 1 minute! Not Bad! If you are considering training for a marathon or even half marathon, this is a great race to think about doing along the course of your training.

The Power of Positive Thinking
I would like to begin this piece with a quote from one of my favorite inspirational and influential speakers, Brian Tracy. " You are what you think about most of the time." When you think about it - that one statement is pretty powerful, it says that you create who you are by how you think about yourself. Its something I didn't always see or understand, but when I sit back and reflect on different passages in my life I have come to find it to be very true. You cannot control what others think or do but you do have the power and ability to change others perception of you by how you see your self. If you think you are a worthless, hopeless person with nothing to offer most of the time - you will do and behave as a hopeless worthless person - who life happens to. On the other hand you may be in a bad situation, or spot in your life but instead of choosing to see the situation as hopeless and give up, you think hmm... what can I do to get myself out of this mess, come up with a series of steps and a reasonable time line and keep working towards that goal. Two very different ways of thinking. One is the victim mentality and the other is the Can Do mentality. Sure, not all of our problems in life can be solved right away and we may have to accept the fact that for a certain amount of time a situation is what it is and we have to choose to make the most of it for now, but in time with a plan, we can and do have the power to change that situation, and do not have to accept failure. Only when you stop trying do you truly fail. Think about who you want to be and find someone who has those characteristics, study that person, go ask them questions if you can. Questions like how did you get to be where you are, what things do you do on a daily basis to get you there? By picking up those same habits and actions you can start your own journey to being the person you want to be

Come Join Me at Community - Wide Ladies Night Out!
~ Friday May 8th ~ 7-9p.m.
Reserve your chair for this months BUNCO event at Vino CON BRIO!
Amorosa Vineyards 7889 E. Harney Lane
Ladies Night Out provides a fun and relaxed "common ground" for women to get to know other women they don't neccesarily associate with on a day to day basis. Its a great way to meet new friends or share laughs with old ones.
They meet every 2nd Friday of the month at different coffee shops and restaurants throughout the Lodi area. This months focus topic is Stress Relief, I think we could all use some of that!
Women are multi taskers and tend to be the organizers and care givers for many, between juggling work, family, household responsibilities and playdates it's no wonder that by the end of the day we feel a bit FRAZZLED!
At Ladies Night Out I will be speaking about How to REDUCE your stress levels through excercise and good nutrition and teach you a stress relief workout you can do anywhere.
I look forward to seeing all of you there!
$3/ person, Reseved Seating Required
