I know many of us are struggling. Many are feeling discouraged, beat up and almost ready to call it quits -( I said almost!) Some have fallen off the healthy choices wagon and been drug through cactus, over rocks, and through the mud. We are beaten up, battered and bruised wondering what to do next

Are you still excited?
On Mar 01, 2012
Are you still excited about your fitness and weight loss? I know you want the scale to move and I know you want to lose weight, but do you still have the excitement you had in the beginning? As time goes by things become part of our routine. We no longer think about the why behind what we are doing

The Road Less Traveled
On Feb 29, 2012
This morning on the way to boot camp this George Strait song came on, "The Road Less Traveled". I have heard thousands of times but this morning the words really hit home with me. We have all chosen this journey and this road. It is a road that many have taken before and turned back. Many of you have

This journey
On Feb 28, 2012
This journey is one of change and reflection. We think about our past and what life circumstances brought us to this point. We need to understand how we got here and what triggers our emotional eating so we do not repeat our previous mistakes. This journey is one of discovery and achievement. I know

On Feb 27, 2012
We all want to be the best we can be. We work to get healthy, to look better and to feel better. We do not work for perfection. Who needs that additional pressure? I am less than perfect and that is ok with me. All we can do is strive to do better, to be better. We do the best we can with what we

Never Enough
On Feb 25, 2012

Accepting the things I cannot change
On Feb 24, 2012
We have all heard the Serenity Prayer which ends with "the power to accept the things I cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference". Pretty much sums up our daily lives. Let's face it, as much as we like to think we are in control, we are not. We are in control of ourselves, sort of, we

Sacrifices
On Feb 23, 2012
How much are you willing to sacrifice for you fitness? How much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your weight loss goals. I have two clients that are on opposite ends of the spectrum, however, both want and need to lose weight. One has slowed her metabolism down so much by not eating that her

Momentum
On Feb 22, 2012
How do you deep moving forward? How do you keep up your forward momentum when you are worn out, unmotivated, and just plain tired of it all? We all get there eventually. When we start something new, we are all excited and can't wait for the next session, next day of activities or whatever the c

It ain’t always easy
On Feb 21, 2012
We all have difficulties. There have been accidents, illness, deaths, etc. Any one of these things can make it difficult to get out of bed in the morning, much less have the motivation to work out. Then you start to feel guilty and bad about yourself because you did not work out. Your self talk becomes
