You can't out train a bad out diet

This one I have tried to do for years!!!

I would smash a block of chocolate then go for a run after thinking I would be sweet...

Ahhh no

Firstly what you put in your mouth determines how your body reacts..


Eg My stomach can't handle dairy so if I eat a block of chocolate my stomach gets really sick for 2 days then my body then becomes inflamed then it takes 3 - 4 days for the water and inflammation to leave which has set me back big time..

I dont care what people say with energy in energy out...

It's bullish*t because everything we put in our mouth causes a reaction..

eating 200 cals of chocolate is not the same as 200 cals of green veggies

You have to be super in tuned with your body and how it reacts to certain foods other wise you will just go around in circles..

If you want to have a cheat meal pick a day and a meal you want to have it Eg Sunday Dinner eat what you want and kick start your metabolism again but don't think you can eat junk food everyday and get away with it because you wont be able to out train inflammation and poor gut health

My Feature Story in the Mercury Newspaper :)

Milena taking weight off with lifestyle tips

By CYDONEE MARDON

Sept. 22, 2015, noon

There’s a dark story behind Milena Tramoshannon’s glowing exterior and bubbly smile.

The road to her success was a winding one one and she has climbed some massive hurdles.The self-confessed tom boy had her share of struggles growing up – her dad was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and a major car crash left her with a broke back and crushed hand.

‘’My life was turned upside down when I was 14,  my dad’s diagnosis crushed my spirit,’’ the 25-year-old told the Mercury.

‘’Having no support or outlet, I didn’t know where to turn. I was lucky I stumbled across the gym. I didn’t know how to lift weights or what I was doing, all I knew was training was an escape from what was happening at home.’’ 

Three years later, when she was a passenger in a flipped car, her ‘’body and my mind were broken this time’’.

‘’I had to start from scratch and rebuild my life. I’d hit rock bottom. ‘’

Ms Tramoshannon fought her way out of ‘’some dark places’’ and used her pain as her motivation.

‘’I became a fully qualified personal trainer and found my calling card. That’s helping people believe in themselves again and achieve their goals despite what cards they have been dealt just like I did.’’

Last year Ms Tramoshannon put herself through a 20-week contest prep to ‘’show herself she could do it and to also set an example to her clients’’. 

She landed her dream job working for ATP Science – where the head formulator is a naturopath and hormone specialist.She placed second in the IFBB bikini tall novice – in a line up of over 30 girls – and heads back to the stage this year.

Ms Tramoshannon will share her story, struggles, successes and everything in between at a free two-hour seminar at Woonona’s Fernwood gym on Friday from 5pm.

The seminar, hosted by Team Flex, focuses on holistic health and wellness as well as nutrition and training advice for women.

Team Flex Woonona store manager Chris Bunt and company owner Reece Kawalla are aiming to deliver two free seminars a month.

‘’We will wear all the costs involved in putting together these events and paying for athletes to come down to give something back to the Illawarra,’’ Mr Bunt said.

‘’We want to help everyone to achieve their goals in health and fitness, whatever they may be.’’

As Raw as Raw can be..

This is a bit of a different post then my health and fitness tips..

I want to touch on the mind battles I face daily and I'm sure others face too in their own way..

At the age of 14 my dad got sick and my life got turned upside down, in the blink of an eye I had to grow up very fast and watch my role model and rock fall apart in front of my eyes..

When you feel so many years of pain you go numb.. I turned my numbness into my motivation and my drive..

Every since that day I feel like my life has been running at 100 miles and hour and I'm in fight or fly mode..

Its all or nothing with no in-between..

I smash out my training and eat clean then when I'm on track I find myself  purposely sabotage myself and my diet and have to start again..

Why? I'm not sure..  I guess a part of my heart still hurts and thats what I'm used to feeling for so long I forget what happiness feels like

I have achieved so much and I have huge goals and I'm pushing hard..


The biggest thing I want to say and what I want to share is every is fighting battles and it is ok to talk about it out loud..

You have to work hard for happiness its about working on yourself and letting go of the past...
You aren't alone we all go through it and I want to talk about it..
There is too much wishy washy fucking bullshit and fake blah blah on Facebook and insta

Lets be honest and lets be real with ourselves and talk about whats going on in our heads so we can grow and learn

My thoughts on high stim pre workout....

Don't take it...  

I honestly don't understand the big craze with high stim pre workout, it doesn't make sense to me.. 

The way I see it... 

High stim pre workout smashes your adrenals  

= 

Your body is under stress and it raises your cortisol 

= 

Your body wont burn fat when it's under stress... 

My Conclusion   

High stim Pre workout

= Useless,

Don't trust paid "models" on instagram for nutrition advise on what is good for you and what will get you in shape. Half the people I see pushing products wouldn't have a single clue about fitness


What I would suggest is

Non flavoured L carnitine in filtered water
Atp science Infrared

You wont be buzzing but you will be burning fat 

How to stay on track while travelling..

How I stay on track while travelling..

My last prep I was on a plane every week flying across Australia..

The thing that will save your life is a 6pack bag and a set of digital scales..

( They aren't cheap but if you do travel a lot they are 100% with it )


What I do is I will cook everything in bulk and put it in containers, then what I will do is as I'm due for a meal I will just weigh it out.

Trying to pack each individual meal is next to impossible because I'm away for 3 days and thats 15+ containers


I hope this helps :)

Perth Fitness expo!!

This weekend I will be representing Atp Science and Fat Burners at the Perth Health and fitness Expo..

I'm ready for a huge 3 days!!


Perth has the most incredible sunsets and really is one of my favourite places to visit..

If you do live in Perth come down and say hi :)

When your dreams become a reality

Word can't explain how excited I am right now... I'm absolutely blow away!!

The thing is I don't think I'm any different to most people i'm just a raw honest, genuine, passionate tomboy who loves helping people.

I live and breath health & fitness and I'm a huge believe in balance..

I came from nothing and I have had everything taken away from me when I was 14 when my dad became sick then I was in a serious car accident at 17 where the car had flipped twice and I broke my back which had me in and out of hospital for a year

I want to teach people every single thing I have learned over the years and to also tell people every single mistake I have made too..

Again I'm so excited, privileged and thankful : )

Guess how much I weigh on the scales??

Go to your bathroom...

Pick up your scales....

And throw them in the bin...

Haha

I'm going to keep this post short and sweet, who gives a shit about a number on a scale go by how you look and feel..

So many people chase numbers on scales... what for?


If you are happy, healthy and you feel good nothing else matters :)
