I hear a lot of excuses about why people don’t live healthy life styles. I get tired of hearing the excuses. Truth be told I have used some of these excuses in the past. (more…)
Fitness
Health and fitness have never been a top priority in my life. However that is changing. Recently I have made a commitment to myself and my family to become a healthy better me.

Anytime you are trying to live a healthy lifestyle that includes diet and exercise routine is important. During the course of the last few months my routine was severely disrupted. (more…)

It is time to dust off the tennis shoes and pack my gym bag. It has been 50 days, since I had surgery and FINALLY I have been cleared to return to my exercise routine. (more…)

Today is a new day. With each new day I get the chance to start over. (more…)
Learning to Run….
Monday, July 16th, 2012
I am getting more adventurous with my fitness plan. A few weeks ago I began researching running and how to incorporate running into my exercise routine. The problem is I have not run anywhere for over 20 years, so I had no idea where to begin. Its not like I can put on running shoes and just start running and not pass out before I get to the end of my street. I am a little intimidated by the prospect of actually running but excited at being healthy enough to run. (more…)
My Fitness Challenge
Tuesday, June 19th, 2012
I failed miserably at my fitness goals for May. Work is a mess during the month of May and I ended up being exhausted and scheduled for lots of after school events. I made it to the gym a total of 1 time in May. That is worse than pathetic. (more…)
Habits.. I need some new ones
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012
Over the course of the last year I have worked hard to form new eating habits. These habits have now become part of how I perceive and consume food. I no longer eat because of stress. I no longer help myself to seconds because it was good. I am not tempted by yummy looking sweet treats. (more…)

Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure. ~Don Wilder and Bill Rechin
Last week I started reading the blog of Sean Anderson. His blog chronicles his weight loss journey and how he met and is currently maintaining his goal. I started reading his blog at Day 1 and became inspired to add more exercise to my daily routines. Sure I had been going to the gym, but sometimes I had reasons also known as excuses as to why I could not make it to the gym on any given day. While reading Sean’s blog I thought to myself if a 500 pound man can get out and walk so can I. I made a plan to walk everyday of Winter Break in order to help build a new habit. (more…)
Stuck but not discouraged
Monday, February 13th, 2012
I have not lost a single pound in the last 50 days. My scale and my body will not budge from the 65 pounds lost mark. Sometimes I just want to pick the scale up and throw it out the window, but then I would have to pay not only to fix the window but for a new scale. (more…)
