Gratitude Is The Best Attitude

10/28/2015

With Thanksgiving just short of a month away, I figured it is an appropriate time to talk about gratitude. But not just being thankful for your "things" or even just for the people in your life, but finding a way to be thankful even in the midst of trying circumstances, or around difficult people...

Your 2015 Challenge

This year, do you want to focus on the GOALS or do you want to focus on the process? I ask, because the majority of people who set resolutions have already failed. Why? Because they can’t understand why day after day they’re not achieving their goals. But you know why. It’s because day after day they’re not following the process. They’re stuck living in the past, in the future, and everywhere else except for exactly where they are at that moment. The *only* moment they can actually control.

I am totally guilty of this.

Growing Pains

<<This post was written back in May 2012 for my Fitness Business site. It made a big impact there, so I figured it was worth sharing here!! It's so fun for me to read this and think back to where we were, what was going on, and be so THANKFUL for what we learned along the way! :):) I encourage you to journal your journey so you can do the same thing!!>>

We’ve all heard the phrase “Oh those are growing pains you’re feeling.” It’s a phrase used to explain stress/anxiety when someone is going through a life change like switching jobs, moving to a new city, getting married, having children, sending their kids off to college, losing a job, losing a loved one, etc. Any seismic shift in one’s “normal” results in a series of emotions, which are often referred to as “growing pains”. Growing pains are associated with, well, pain, discomfort, sadness, grief, depression, but they are called “GROWING” pains because of the promise of something much bigger on the other side.

One of the most common things I hear from people when talking fitness and nutrition this time of year is, "I can't wait until January 1st so I can be done with the junk food, and get serious about my weight loss goals."

Well, here's my advice to you: If you're serious at all about your health, body composition and how you look and feel, then you don't have time to wait, START NOW!

12 Tips for Keeping a Healthy Heart and Back This Winter

11/20/2014

There are 2 things that are often associated with shoveling during the winter season, especially in a place like Buffalo where we get hit hard almost every year: Back injury and Overexertion.

People who aren’t ordinarily susceptible to these things are STILL at risk so it is important to be educated.

The Metaphorical Grandma

Just a couple weeks ago, Jason and I were down at Keuka Lake for Benjamin’s 3rd birthday weeked (THREE!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!). Luckily for us, my amazing parents stayed home with Ben while he napped so Jason and I could sneak out for a playground workout. Total side note, how weird is it that 2 full grown adults go to a playground for a workout date while their toddler is sleeping? Isn’t that weird??...

It has been over 10 years that my husband, Jason has been involved in the fitness industry, and now just over 6 for me. There are several things that we have learned during that time of working closely with people from all different walks of life, different ages, different goals, and different levels of motivation.

But what’s crazy is that, like with most things, all of those people with all of their differences still only fall into 2 categories: 1) Those who achieve their goals and, 2) Those who do not.

Did you know…

Strength is about much more than muscle mass, or how much weight you can pick up.

Strength is a state of mind.

Have you ever heard of the trick often performed with extremely strong weight lifters, where before an audience they are asked to pick up a weight they are used to lifting. With ease, the athlete performs the lift. Next, weights are added. The lifter is told it is a weight much heavier than what he has been previously known to accomplish. Although the weight that was added is actually significantly lower than what the athlete is fully capable of lifting, he is unable to complete the lift.

Why?
