Fitness Friday- Changing things up: Part 2

Changing things up…
In honor of Transformation Tuesday I thought I would talk about what happens when we aren't transforming....plateaus! I have reached one. In my blogging...in my creativity...in my exercise...in my eating. I have become complacent in the areas that I don't want to be complacent in. It's not an entirely bad place to be, in fact my routine is a fairly good one but it's not moving me forward in ... [ Read More ]

So what do I do next?
I wanted to write this post because one of the questions I get e-mailed about the most is...what did you do when you finished the 24 Day Challenge? When I answer this question I normally start by asking what the person's goals are now that they have kick started their weight loss. Do they want to lose more weight, more inches, gain muscle, increase their endurance, see more muscle ... [ Read More ]

What does January 1st mean to you?
I can remember this exact time last year so well. I was struggling with my weight and making every excuse imaginable for why all those extra pounds were sticking to me from both pregnancies. I thought I was eating healthy, I was counting calories, I was going to the gym when I had time...but it just HAD to be that my metabolism changed. I couldn't think of any other reason why nothing was ... [ Read More ]
