Everyone needs an extra boost of motivation occasionally, right? I have some to offer you today (and in turn I hope it will motivate me more). Over the past month I’ve basically been coasting along the road to health and fitness. The past two months have been crazy-busy and I’ve been slacking on … [Read more…]

I think we should take the quote Make Yourself Proud from Peter W. Smith to heart. It’s the last week of 2014 and I have heard a lot of people complaining about things they have done wrong this year, including inside my own head, but I think we should be proud of our accomplishments, no matter their … [Read more…]

!   I was looking for ideas for today’s post and noticed a pretty prevalent theme: How do I recover from falling off the wagon? How do I get back on track after a bad week? How do I stop beating myself up for eating three desserts instead of just a small bite of one? The answer comes … [Read more…]

    You are what you eat is a phrase I have heard my entire life, but until recently never really thought about. I have come to the conclusion that you are what you eat has never been more true than it is today.  The phrase basically means that to be fit and healthy you need to eat … [Read more…]

    It’s time for Motivation Monday! This past week one of the most motivational, and inspirational women in recent history passed away.

Need a little motivation to keep you going? We all need a little push to stay strong and motivated so that’s what Monday is going to be all about today! It’s Sunday afternoon and instead of my typical habit of waiting till 10 P.M. to start writing my post for the next morning I decided to get … [Read more…]

Hello, friends. Here we are with the end of January just around the corner. It’s around this time into the new year that some of us may begin to get discouraged, burned out, pissed off and just frankly feel like packing it in on this journey we put ourselves on to become healthy and fit. All … [Read more…]

You ready for some quotes? Oh, I’ve got quotes… Supposing you have tried and failed again and again.  You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down.  ~Mary Pickford As I read through several weigh in posts on … [Read more…]

One day last week, I really wasn’t feeling my work out at all.  I kind of wanted to just skip it and forget about it.  But I didn’t.  I got my work out clothes on, filled up my water bottle, and popped a DVD in. Usually on these days, once I get the work out started, the work out is great, and I … [Read more…]

Lately, things for me have been one of those times that life has just happened.  I’ve had this to do or that to do OR this has happened and that has happened.  So, some things have had to give, which mainly means work outs. Truth is, with everything that has been going on, I just haven’t FELT … [Read more…]

Can I be honest? Yes, you say? Why thank you…(kisses) I have been lacking motivation. There. Phew, I said it. It’s off my chest now. Do any of you need to get that off yours too?  (please do and we will re-group together) I’ll spare the excuses (because I’m good at them). It is what … [Read more…]

I had a little bit of a mental breakdown the other day.  I’ve been feeling very overwhelmed with life in general and I’ve been reading time management books and thinking about what I can do to change my life. I was walking around the house trying to figure out how to finish the sentence “I run … [Read more…]

I’m fresh off my trip to Fitbloggin’ (which explains the lateness of this post, because HELLO, I haven’t slept in days and need to catch up!), and I am bursting at the seams with motivation. Let me share a some of my motivation with you! Motivation is finally meeting some of the amazing … [Read more…]
