and I get to step on the scale at the doctor’s office to see just how much my hard work will be rewarded! I feel better–I feel thin. I have flexed and posed and felt my flatter stomach all week long waiting for this moment. I take off my flip flops and step [...]

My scale broke?

I have a very active 5-year-old child who loves to just move and shake and giggle all day long. She pays little attention to anything around her which may be in her way when she is on her motivation train–including electronics.

I have decided while my back is recovering I will at least shed some fat. [...]

Jack and the Bean Stalk know’s why your diet is not working

You begin on a Monday, so it is now 2 days into your diet. The scale has not moved, your clothes are not looser, your reflection shows NOTHING different at all- and I bet you are starting to get hungry. It has been long enough that you are reconsidering this whole diet idea since, after all, 2 days have passed and there is no sign of a reaction in your body to the "magic bean" diet. "I WANT IT NOW!!!" Do you? [...]

Some people love body weight challenges while others enjoy running for that stress release and hormone response. Others enjoy the aesthetics of body building or figure competitions. Some people enjoy the idea that a seemingly immovable object is in fact going to move under their force. No matter what level you are on in your fitness journey there IS an activity to match your desire. So if you are setting your sites in 2009 to be the best YOU there is and feel stale and struggling already with the new goals. Try something else, move onto some other physical activity. Hell, try them all!Step outside the box to really find who it is you want to [...]

It is really hard to market hard work and self deprivation when you have fast food companies encouraging super size, the economy encouraging massive amounts of over time at a desk and then have the NIH state..America is getting fatter..gee, no idea why.

Then you have to combat the education the TV commercials offer to [...]

I was talking with a friend of mine about finding our motivation to workout and eat right when we have taken a break from our fitness journey. How do we lose that motivation and how the heck do we get it back? Every spring we begin to plan our diet to make sure we can [...]

Putting into a clear Perspective

admin — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 18:50:00 +0000

When you picture losing weight you picture yourself looking good and healthy, perhaps wearing a perfect pair of jeans and turning heads. You go to bed with the full mind set to wake up with the sun and begin your new diet. You feel confident in your idea and you think that this is finally the answers you were looking for.
