I have always understood the value of a healthy lifestyle … maybe more so when I was not living one. Usually when I slip away from one is in the darker times of my life, which is not really so unusual. Self-abuse … even passive aggressive self-abuse … is not uncommon when we are unhappy […]
A friend of mine posted this on FB the other day: I want to lose 15 pounds by January 1…. I hate strict diets, don’t exercise much, and will not give up drinking. Any ideas? While this was partly said in jest, there was also truth in it, so along with the multiple other suggestions […]
When I started with Team BeachBody, my primary intent was to start getting into shape again. It has been my experience that no matter WHAT the ads say; no matter what any fitness programs claims, the true path to fitness is the sincere desire to change our life. How we do it; the exercise program […]
As I think I may have mentioned along the way, I took a bit of a “vacation” that i just recently got back from. I am not sure one can truly call it a vacation when I don’t have a typical 9-5 life, but it was a change of scenery and a bit of refreshment […]

Everyone has habits. We all have patterns we fall into, even the most free thinking of personalities. The habits may be small, hardly noticeable, even to ourselves, but we all have them. Wether a habit is good or bad is really up to each individual. Only WE really can say if there is something about […]
Make myself sweat for a half and hour or so just so I can hurt all day? Why would I want to do that? I KNOW I am not the only person who has asked myself a question like that when I was first thinking about exercising again. Especially when it had been so long […]
