Selfless Selfishness

older-woman-exercise

I had a conversation with my Granny the other day, where she told me about a friend of hers that had recently passed away. Naturally this event upset her greatly but the newspaper obituary had her in a tailspin. In the write up, the woman’s name was NOT listed as Mrs. Betty Philips but as Mrs. Thomas Philips (her surviving husband’s name). The article mentioned nothing of her personal victories/ internal self, just of external affiliates such as family and their accomplishments. I believe it … [Read more...]

WE got your back…

group exercise class

I come from a family of females. Of course, at one time, men were in the mix but due to untimely death and divorce I grew up surrounded by strong women. The simple word “exercise” sends off a round of excuses in my family sounding like a firing range! But to conquer the times when motivation lacks, they use the Fitness Buddy System. It’s nothing new or fancy and it works on so many levels. The right buddy or team will motivate and energize you to give it your best! Nothing is worse than … [Read more...]

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

  I have been on this quest since the first of the year to live a healthier lifestyle.  When you fall into bad habits it seems to take a little longer to bounce back because you have all of those foods that you love but that are bad for you calling your name every time you get hungry.  Maybe it’s me but I crave them even more when I’m forcing myself NOT to eat them. Yes I need to lose a few pounds but I have decided that this time I’m not going to try and lose them overnight.  I … [Read more...]

Stop Fooling Yourself

women at gym

I was at the gym the other day standing outside of the group exercise room waiting for my class to start. I happened to overhear 2 ladies talking about getting the weight off that they had put on the previous year. One of them was saying she was going on some fancy diet and spending 2 hours a day at the gym every day. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve overheard similar conversations. Especially in January when all of the newbies show up thinking they will stick to it this time. I’d say … [Read more...]
