Where does time go? |
| 4/10/2009 8:16:04 AM |
Can you believe it almost mid-April. Wow soon I will be putting my Christmas list together. Now that I'm approaching 50 I wish time would slow down like it seemed to do when I was in High School. I had a client tell me the other day, mind you he is only 17 year old, that he thinks older people are too busy and they promote time slipping by. He commented that if you were... Read More |

I Hope You Feel Guilty |
| 3/27/2009 7:40:02 AM |
I have a buddy who has been in Texas for 2 weeks training for a new job he recently accepted. I just talked with him last night and he informed me that he has not worked out for the entire 2 weeks, and has had terrible eating and drinking habits while away. He said "I am so disgusted with myself."
I also had a client come to me this past week and told me she had... Read More |

mirrors |
| 3/25/2009 6:31:45 AM |
i dont dislike them, but when youre feeling a bit fat they are the enemy, which is why mine hangs on the back of the bedroom door,tucked out of the way. i dont stand infront of them for ages posing, checking my butt and holding my belly in, to try to feel better because there is no escaping the reflection, no matter what angle you take. to me they are functional and...

What are you looking at? |
| 3/18/2009 8:55:10 AM |
Today's thought: Don't see me through ugly eyes, the reflection may be from a mirror. With the new changes in my life, I got a membership to a very popular fitness club and the place is great. It has every machine you can think of to help every part of your body. If I didn't have anything else to do, I think I would spend every waking moment there. But I haven't always... Read More |

Sunday, March 8, 2009, 08:43 PM EST [ General]
today im planning my next 3 weeks. top of the list is the food. im going to buy all the meat we need in 1 go. i have to go quite a way to get it though as meat here is expensive. a pack of 4 chicken breasts costs £5.00! and fresh mince is £6.00 for 2 regular packs. not so bad. it also makes great burgers. and my...

Realistic Expectations |
| 3/12/2009 10:42:40 AM |
I have talked about this for years, done videos on it, been interviewed in the media, and still 90% of the time I hear unrealistic expectations.
Outside of injuries most people fail because they come out of the gate too fast, which probably leads to the injuries. Take those extreme programs like Cross Fit and P90X, while great for well trained athletes, they are not for... Read More |

Where Creation and Evolution Agree |
| 3/12/2009 7:22:10 AM |
There has been a long debate between religion and science over evolution and creation, and I am not about to get into that disagreement, but I do want to share with you my thoughts on the "creation" of a better body - and how this is an evolutionary process.
People are constantly seeking a better body...and to be honest, it is a never ending process. No matter who... Read More |

P90X & Cross Fit - Realisitic? |
| 3/10/2009 10:14:42 PM |
Two of the hot new fitness programs that are sweeping the nation are P90X and Cross Fit...heard of them? Chances are you know someone who has tried one of them...but how realistic are they for long term (or even short term) success?
Here is the answer to "What is Cross Fit", straight from their site...
CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning... Read More |

Good things come to those who.........."WEIGHT" |
| 3/10/2009 11:11:57 AM |
Today's thought: God makes me fit to fight fat! Dieting can be very stressful. Many times, we buckle under the stress and fall back into our old eating habits. A change in lifestyle is constant and we will always be confronted with things that are not good for us. I have come to realize that changing my lifestyle does not just mean "eat healthy and move my... Read More |

Working my way down! |
| 3/9/2009 2:54:35 AM |
Today's thought: I will think of what I have, rather than what I have not! Normally, when I start a diet, I pick New Year's Day, the 1st day of the month, a Monday.......... and I was never sure why I did that. The day I start never makes a difference in how motivated or how quickly I lose the motivation towards my new diet. And then it hit me. All I worry about is... Read More |

Another Weekend |
| 3/6/2009 5:10:25 PM |
Here it is Saturday again, when did the 7 day week switch to what seems like 3? I am not sure if I am overwhelmed or just disorganized but it seems like my list of things to do keeps getting added to the coming week and that list is growing.
How do you find time to do all the things and take care of yourself also. For me its planning, it's always been planning. It's like... Read More |

God in my Food! |
| 3/6/2009 7:44:35 AM |
Today's thought: I will let my hunger turn my mind to God! Lent has now begun. A small description of lent is that this is a 40-day season that begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes at the Great Vigil of Easter. This tradition of 40 days recalls the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness, fasting and being tempted by Satan (Matthew 4:1-11). This is considered a time of... Read More |

Clearing The Hurdles in Life |

Woke up this morning aching everywhere?!?! My low back hurts, mywrists hurt (?), and my sciatica is radiating down my left leg all theway to the heel, and I have a kink in my neck! I guess this is the effects of aging. My point for sharing this with you is that I am sure you have had these days, maybe more than once. But while it is a slight hurdle in my day, and may...

How To Save Money on Your Fitness Program |
| 3/3/2009 9:53:31 PM |
| I had a buddy of mine tell me a story the other day and felt the need to share, because I think it is a common thought. He works with a woman who has been talking about losing weight since the new year...so of course, knowing what I do, and knowing about our website, he told her about the site and the fact that it is only $5 per month. He continued to pitch our site every... Read More |

The Protein Bar Myth |
| 2/22/2009 10:51:24 AM |
| I always feel that sharing personal experiences that I have with clients can help anyone who is trying to lose weight and get in shape. The other day I had a conversation with a client about protein bars. She proceeded to tell me the value of protein bars, which ones are the healthiest, and how she religiously has purchased the same brand for years. This is a common... Read More |

Getting There is Half The Battle... |
| 2/17/2009 10:12:37 PM |
In the past 5 days I have talked with 3 clients about the same topic, so I thought it must be an interesting topic...so why not blog about it?
"I'm tired."
"I don't feel like working out today."
"I feel like I have lost my motivation."
These were the 3 statements that sparked the same conversation about the "ups and downs" of working out.... Read More |

Here is What Makes People Fat... |
| 2/13/2009 7:55:30 AM |
As you have seen, I read a lot of articles and have a lot of experiences with clients that ultimately give me opinions to share in my blog. I just read a posting about a person who was stating that her "desk job was making her fat!" Your desk job is probably not making you fat unless you are an Ice Cream Taste-Tester! Sitting doesn't make you fat.
Eating fat... Read More |
