Sirius Fitness presents... The Invisible Vegan

**On the 4 Year Anniversary of "Sirius Fitness Day" in San Diego we presented the The Invisible Vegan...

On Sunday December 15th, Sirius Fitness, in conjunction with Live Well San Diego presented the documentary, The Invisible Vegan at Jackie Robinson Family YMCA. The Documentary was followed by a Panel of Nutritional Experts and an incredible Vegan meal.

What is the "Invisible Vegan"?  

"The Invisible Vegan is a 90-minute independent documentary that explores the problem of unhealthy dietary patterns in the African-American community, foregrounding the health and wellness possibilities enabled by plant-based vegan diets and lifestyle choices." 

This documentary was Co-Produced by Jasmine and Kenny Leyva and featured prominent celebrities such as Stic Man from Dead Prez, Comedian Cedric the Entertainer and NBA Champion John Salley. The documentary dealt with misconceptions, health benefits, history and more about Plant-Based diets in the African-American community. 

The Panel consisted of David Engel of Plant Diego, Vegan Martial Artist, Charles Scot and was facilitated by Dr. Samira Jones (aka Dr. Sunshine Jones). They answered questions about their own personal journeys with a Plant-based diet, the effects, the challenges and overall general information. Dr. Jones was very informative with her background in Nutrition. The audience provided great questions for the panel that added much more to the discussion. 

The event concluded with an awesome Vegan meal consisting of Salad, Pasta w/ Vegan Sausage, Quinoa Salad and delicious Vegan Chocolate Chip cookies. Thank you Morse High School Culinary Department for providing the meal and thank you to our Sponsors for this event, Stepping Higher, Inc., Fit, Black and Educated and Plant Diego.

The 90-minute documentary is available to watch online through Amazon Prime and Vimeo.

#RunNasaraRun: "The Drive for 1:45"

Greetings ALL...I originally decided to do 7 Half Marathons this year, but through the sponsorships of several people and organizations I am able to do 10! So firstly, I would like to thank the following: First Lady Rachelle Benson and Stepping Higher, Inc, Tracy Morris and the Western Region Phi Beta Sigma, Inc., Maritza Johnson and the Friends of Nubia Foundation, Zerocancer.org and all the donors! Most of these runs benefit Cancer research and we all know that cancer has affected so many of us, our loved ones and friends. (Personally I lost my father to prostate Cancer)


     Well...I was supposed to write a blog about each run, not just for the enjoyment of the public, but I want to keep this bit of "Sirius Fitness" history to pass down to my kiddies! Anyway, better late than never. I have decided to summarize the 5 1/2 Marathons I have already done and BLOG the next 5 in the several upcoming months. My main goal is ALWAYS to "Finish", but my ultimate goal is 1:45 minutes, hence the title of this blog... "The Drive for 1:45" (wish me luck!) The main difference with these NEXT several runs is...I will actually train for them this time (lol!) 


Lets Go:

San Diego Half Marathon 2012

"Great inaugural run and nice course. This was a very organized run and it was my first long run since the 2011 Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon in San Diego. I was told not to participate due to sciatica, which was still bothering me... but I had to push through. Yes...I ignored my physical therapist! ;-(  I felt good, ran a 2:11 and during the run I ran into Brian Catacutan, who will be running several 1/2 Marathons this year as well with his fiancee, Jenn Vela. Some of my "partners in crime" who ran were, Mark McCloskey and Tracy Willis. I can't wait until 2013!"

Hollywood Half Marathon 2012 

"This was a lot of fun because I got to travel to HOLLYWOOD! The family came along for the ride and for support and it was a GREAT Inaugural Run! Lights, Cameras, Red Carpet...Yeah! This was also an organized run, nice course and nice sights to see in the Hollywood community! Now...I was doing great until mile 11 and then... Calf number one cramped up and guess what happened two minutes later??...Calf number two cramped up. (I guess I didn't hydrate enough!...my bad!) I was ROCKING and ROLLING up until that point but I wobbled and hobbled across the finish line with a 2:12

NEXT BLOG I will briefly summarize my experiences with:

La Jolla Half and the Safari Half!

My Favorite Post Workout Nutrition!

Join the Sirius Fitness 30-Day Challenge!

What can you do in 30 Days?

*Form positive Life-long Health and Wellness Habits

*Lose Bodyfat

*Lose Weight

*Get Stronger

*Reduce Clothing size

*Walk Longer

*Motivate Others!...Motivate Others!...Motivate Others!

*...And much, much MORE!



There are many things you can accomplish in 30 days of consistent, focused behavior and through this challenge we will do just that!

This is the Breakdown: (In my brain, I have so much info to pass on, but I think making this short, sweet and to the point is BEST!)

1- Weigh-in, take measurements and also have your Bodyfat checked if you are able. (You can also take pictures)

2- Determine a "attainable" 30 day goal

3- GET THAT NUTRITION IN ORDER! (I'm gonna borrow the Phrase from Underground Wellness' Fitness Guru SEAN CROXTON...J E R F (JUST EAT REAL FOOD)

a) Cut the white products and processed food products (http://naturalbias.com/how-to-eliminate-sugar-from-your-diet/)

b) Give yourself ONE "Cheat" meal once a week as a reward. (Cheat meal...NOT Cheat DAY! lol!) This is optional!

c) Those days you are "on the run" and don't have time to cook... Try Shakeology (http://www.SiriusShake.com/) or a nutrient dense supplement (I personally drink Shakeology once a day...contact me for more info)

4- Commit to workout at minimum 4-5 times a week (or more) with at least day of rest. Get to the gym, Walk, Run, Jog, Hike, Yoga, do P90X, Insanity, TurboFire, etc..., check out a "Free" local "Fit Club" (Like Sirius Fitness Fit Club if you are in San Diego) We Want All of our folks to do the 30/40/50 Challenge~> 30 pushups...40 squats...50 crunches...If you do this every day I guarantee you in 30 days you will notice a difference.

5-Join the "30 Day Challenge w/ Sirius Fitness" Facebook GROUP (https://www.facebook.com/groups/276017602429439/?ref=ts) to list comments, concerns, progress, pics, advice, etc...

GOOD LUCK AND LETS REACH OUR GOALS FOR 30 DAYS and BEYOND...

Beachbody Coaches "working it out" on KTLA News!

Yes people...this is for real! Several of MY fellow coaches (Charles Magby and Debra Portee) were "front and center" getting their "workout" on! We love being Beachbody Coaches, because not only do we make changes in ourselves, but we can touch so many others! Think about it!

Climb Michi's Ladder to Wellness!

michi: n. road; path; method; "The Way."

What is Michi's Ladder? <~ CLICK...

You wanna lose weight and get more fit for the Summer...for Yourself...for Your Husband/Wife...for Your HEALTH?? Well...you can use Michi's Ladder as a food substitution guide to assist you in making Healthy eating choices. There are five (5) tiers of foods, One (1) and two (2) being the highest and "Best" food choices and three (3) to five (5) the lowest and "not-so-good" choices. It's simple...Eat mostly from the first two tiers and sparingly (or not at all) from the last three tiers and OF COURSE add Fitness and Exercise to the mix!

If you focus on Michi's substitution guide, eat 5-6 small, balanced and clean (free of too many preservatives) meals a day and combine it with 5-6 days of exercise you will headed closer to the goal of "a Healthier and Fit YOU!"

Personally, I am beginning this lifestyle change in May (May 2nd to be exact) and I plan to check out my results in June! I already eat well and exercise, but sometimes you get stuck on plateaus and you need that extra Kick in the Butt to get you off that plateau. (In this case I'm using a ladder) Join me as I climb Michi's Ladder as my nutritionist and Shaun T as my trainer! (Yeah, I decided to get with some folks to do the new and improved Insanity workout...Insanity Asylum!)

Sooooo...for the next 30 days I'm hitting it hard on the Nutrition and the Fitness! Who is with me? Are you ready? Are you ready to Win? Are you ready to climb this ladder with me?

Try Shakeology! ->Featured in Oprah's "O" Magazine!

Yup...O Magazine checks out the Superfoods in Shakeology...and The Benefits of Superfoods! So run to your news stand and pick up the May 2011 issue! But until then a question you are probably asking yourself is...WHAT IS SHAKEOLOGY???! Lets take a looksee~>
