Australian Model Lara Bingle has been in the news a lot lately! First the stolen car, now the topless picture scandal..I thought it seemed appropriate to put her diet and exercise regime up. With all the extra publicity shes getting, people will definitely be googling her and admiring her amazing figure!

The Daily Telegraph did a story on her diet and exercise regime last year and here it is..enjoy!

LARA BINGLE has revealed the diet and exercise secrets behind her enviable figure – a daily run, with after-dinner chocolate as an indulgent reward.

The 22-year-old beauty weighs a healthy 50kg – 4kg more than when she met her cricket star fiance Michael Clarke.

But she insists it’s muscle, not comfort, that has seen her put on the extra kilos, admitting the pair are very competitive when they exercise.

“If I’m going to run with him, I want to beat him – and he will also want to beat me,” she told new health magazine Your Body.

As summer nears and many try to get beach-fit, Bingle has shared her exercise regimen and diet, including a personal trainer twice a week, half-hour beach runs and weights.

But, like the rest of us, she also has days when she simply cannot be bothered.

She also eats bread, pasta and chocolate and loves a good dessert, although she tries to stick to healthy
foods such as fish, salad or vegetables.

“Of course, I have days I don’t want to train,” she said. “But I like to indulge a bit when I eat, so I don’t feel as guilty if I’ve trained.”

I know this may seem like something weird to post about! But I just thought it would be a good thing to tell you.
A while ago (maybe 2 years!..wow that went fast) I decided to run a 10km race. So I started training for it by going jogging along the beach for 40 minutes in the afternoon. I started to get really sore knees, ankles and shins. Anyway, I told my boyfriend about my sore legs and he said the same thing happened to him and it was because he didnt have proper running shoes. (I had bought my runners for $130 and approximately a year earlier and didnt know that this was actually considered ‘cheap’ for shoes!)

Anyway, I went to a shoe shop and had one of the tests done where you stand on a pad and it measures how much weight you put on each foot (they have one at most Athletes Foot Stores). I ended up buying a pair of shoes for $330 and have never had a problem since. When I walk it feels like Im bouncing, they have really good support around the ankles!

So if you are reading this and have problems with your legs when you are running then perhaps all you need is a new pair of shoes! I have had my new shoes for 2 years and they are still going strong. I think I can get another year out of them before they look too hideous to wear!

Looking back on old episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians I still cant believe how different Khloe looks now. The weight loss has changed her entirely.
Do you think Khloes weight loss is an inspiration?

Jessica Biel is definitely one of my fitness idols. She’s never been emaciated (that I know of) and always seems to be a healthy weight. She’s very toned and looks fantastic.
Did you see her in Valentines day?

Lately I have been making this when I crave nachos or mexican food! I am pretty sure I made it up but probably heard about it years ago somewhere lol.

Mix half a cup of three bean mix with some organic salsa.
Grate a tiny bit of extra light cheese on top
Microwave for 45 seconds – 1 min
Add some low fat cottage cheese and stir through

Simple as that! I’ll put a picture up after I make it next.
I also have a healthy salad recipe I have been making lately to tell you about!
