As a goal-oriented individual, I can get quite focused on what I want to accomplish. I think we are all guilty of holding so tightly to a dream that we can’t admit when it has died. And yes, dreams do die. Sometimes, we didn’t take the dream seriously, and thus it withered from lack of […]
Adapt Your Workout or Die!
Business owners know they must continually adapt to the ever-changing market, or they will no longer be in business. Our health is no different. We age, and life throws us some curve balls. How we adapt will be the difference between thriving or just surviving. On my daily run, I see a man who […]
Be Like Manning and Fight for Your Health!
I am not a football fan whatsoever, but I do admire and respect Peyton Manning for coming back after his injuries. He was most likely told to quit football because he’d never be able to play again. Instead of listening to naysayers, he chose to overcome his obstacles. He’s proof we must fight for our […]
Use Your Hate to Motivate You
I hate running in cold weather. Houston winters are not only cold, but they are damp and wet with drizzling rain. Yuck! What gets me outside to run even though every fiber in me wants to skip exercise in cold weather? I hate the threat of illness and disease more. As a human behavior consultant, […]
Expect Obstacles When You Start to Workout
I’ve been a personal trainer long enough to know for a fact that as soon as a person finally decides to put their health first, they encounter resistance from the universe. Literally, their lives begin to unravel before their very eyes: car accidents, falls, family illness, job issues, sickness, injuries, marriage problems…you name it, and […]
Home is Where Your Heart Is
Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God, reminded me today in an Email of the very simple yet profound statement that “Home is where your heart is.” And if our hearts on centered on God, then we are home wherever we are. I needed to hear that. Many of us have had to move […]
Eat to Live, Not Live to Eat
On Thanksgiving, I don’t worry much about my caloric intake because it is just one day in my life. However, I do try to eat a balanced, nutritious, low-calorie diet most other days. I subscribe to the 80/20 rule. For 80 percent of the time, I limit sugar and fat, avoid fried food and bread, […]
Focus on your abundance!
Seems lately that we are focusing on what we don’t have and what isn’t working instead of our abundance. Perhaps that mentality is appropriate for political circles, but for our personal mindset, it will hold us back. Having a poverty spirit where we always feel we lack something perpetuates more negativity and unhappiness. Use this […]
Go ahead and talk negative to yourself to get in shape!
We all know that being positive helps us get further in life, but let me present this to you: speaking in the negative just might keep you on track with your exercise and healthy eating habits. When we are definitive, we are firm and steadfast without budging. For example, “I don’t eat peanut butter,” and […]
Go ahead and get mad! You deserve it!
If you have allowed days to turn into weeks, and weeks to turn into months, or worse, months into years, and you are out of shape and overweight, then you need to get mad…at yourself! How could you let the most important gift you’ve received fall apart? You are a treasure! I do know life […]
