Let's be honest about how reasons affect our overall health, fitness and daily lifestyle. Reasons are often used to avoid a workout or eat healthy meals, agreed? They are really the same as excuses that keep us from getting fit.   We want the fit and healthy body but come up with every reason in the book to avoid doing the work to achieve the goal. Why? What continues to get in the way of the thing we most want?   We almost have a rebellious attitude toward health and fitness . We convince ourselves we can achieve our goals even with unhealthy eating and exercise habits. A negative attitude, excuses, and rebel behavior is definitely not going to achieve a healthy body or mind. We really need to change our mind in order to change our body.  If getting fit were easy, everyone would be doing it. Health and fitness require effort and planning. Why is there such an issue with working for our goals? Everything in life worthy of anything takes work. Health is a gift and fit...

I love eating healthy, being active and how I feel as a healthy woman. I adopted a healthy lifestyle years ago and never looked back. Today it's my state of being and natural existence. My passion for health and fitness has become my occupation which is really a goal we should all aspire. When you do what you love, it really doesn't feel like work. It's a sharing and teaching of how I live my life. It feels awesome to be able to provide this gift to so many people. How I Feel About Fitness I am realistic about health and fitness. I don't teach perfection but celebrate progress. Fitness is not about a restrictive lifestyle but a healthy balance of eating right 80 to 90 percent of the time and regular exercise. I also don't believe in taking things to extremes where health would feel like a burden. I encourage a strong and positive mental game and keeping health in perspective . This includes enjoying the food you eat and the exercise you perform. Living healthy sho...

Health and happiness come down to choices. I think we can all agree with that statement. We have the responsibility to make choices each day to eat healthy, exercise, and respond to life in the best way. It's not about being perfect, but having realistic goals progressing toward a quality life.  We are all works in progress. Adopting a healthy lifestyle will remain a lifetime process.  Being healthy is by choice and not by chance.  Days will not be perfect, but they can be the best according to your choices.  None of us like to hear we're making excuses, but it really does apply to fitness and everything in life. Getting healthy takes effort just as pushing through college and career takes work. I don't accept excuses or reasons why health isn't a priority and that isn't called being unreasonable, it's being truthful. Let me clarify my reference is to the majority of people who can get healthy but choose to remain in an unhealthy lifestyle.   You can do it...

Age is just a number. Some of us believe it holds a negative stigma as we get older. This is far from the truth and each day should be considered a gift and every age a celebration. Wear it proudly! We are never too old to get fit and it really comes down to feeling our healthy best at every age. Honestly, I don't even think about my age unless someone makes a comment. Being fit and having a positive attitude makes me feel youthful and excited about living. Each day is a new chance to make better choices physically, nutritionally , and mentally. How exciting is that! I like to start each day being thankful for the many blessings in my life. I have been through a tough journey and still standing, extremely happy, and going strong with my fitness. Aging is really a state of mind. I refuse to get all hum-drum about getting older but focus on what I can do to improve my life through the aging process . What it comes down to is not my age but what I'm doing through the ages to mak...

Are you are being honest about how you're living? Can you say you're living a healthy lifestyle or are you in complete denial of unhealthy habits? I wish I could see a show of hands and have a world-wide workshop to discuss this issue. Standing in your truth has everything to do with being able to become a healthy person. This can really be applied to all areas of your life -  relationships, careers, fitness, and overall health. Being honest with yourself is the first step to change those things weighing you down physically and emotionally.  Lying about your life is often accompanied by bitterness, anger, blaming others, defensiveness, unhappiness, and a clear nonacceptance of responsibility. On the other side of that comes acceptance of your truth . This means you want and are working to be a healthier, happier person by implementing positive daily changes. You are honest and are taking responsibility for your health. You are on your way to adopting a healthy lifestyle. ...

Did you know karma can easily apply to fitness? It basically means whatever you do will come back to you. So, if you're doing good things, good things happen in return and vice versa. If you're  sorta kinda committed to your fitness , the results will show. It really comes down to reaping what you sow. I happen to believe in karma fitness. The thing about karma is there are consequences to treating others and yourself badly. It will eventually come back to bite you in the backside. If you're avoiding your health, eating poorly, and living a sedentary lifestyle, your body will give back what it has been given. Being lied to for example sucks and speaks more about the person doing the action, but guess what ... karma. How does this apply to our health? Let's reflect on a few questions: Are you being honest with yourself about your fitness? Are you giving your body a healthy life? Do you make excuses for your behavior? Do you want to eventually suffer the consequences o...

What we eat plays the largest role in our health and fitness. Working out is a great compliment and necessary to create a balanced program. However, there are more hours outside the gym and in the kitchen making or breaking our fitness goals . Eating right requires a fairly disciplined nutrition program consuming wholesome real food, mostly plants. This is not to say eating the occasional treat is off limits because that isn't realistic. Sticking to healthy eating 80 to 90% of the time is enough to maintain a fit and healthy body. When eating right and exercise becomes a lifestyle, there is no stress or overthinking the process . We operate on auto-pilot doing what feel is natural and normal. We would feel weird eating crappy and suffer the consequences of not feeling good the next day. Nutrient timing or eating superfoods every several hours is typical for those living a healthy lifestyle. There is not much thought in calorie counting or fear of eating too much but a focus on cons...
