I had a friend share this with me the other day and I wanted to share it with you;
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is the future
Today is a gift, that's why we call it the present

You have been given the gift of today, what are you going to do with it?

Well, here we are at the end of February, where have the last two months gone?

Well here we are in a new year. As you reflect on the past year; did you accomplish what you wanted to with your fitness and health? What do you want to accomplish this year? By taking small steps consistently over time you will succeed. There is no quick fix that will last, so if you are tired of starting over again and again, don't stop. Stay consistent and gradually work up to where you want to be, write out your plan, refer to it often and be willing to make adjustments as needed. Consistency consistency consistency. Happy Healthy New Year!

Here is a great article with some ideas on how to avoid overeating this holiday season.

It is perfectly OK to indulge on occasion, sans the guilt, without gaining weight. The trick is to enjoy what you are eating, and to eat mindfully while avoiding overindulging and gaining weight in the process.

The importance of resistance training;
We lose 3-5% of muscle mass per decade after the age of 30 if you don't do anything about it. The less muscle mass you have the lower your metabolism, so as you lose 3-5% of muscle your metabolism gets slower and slower as you age. The only way to stop this decline is to do resistance training with weights, body weight and/or bands. Things that challenge your muscles and makes them sore. Bicep curls, triceps dips, shoulder presses, rows, squats, lunges, there are a whole host of things you can and should do for all your muscles. Cardio is great for your heart but resistance training is good for your bones and metabolism. Each one has its place and should be done 3-4 times a week. If you have questions please reach out to me, I would be happy to help in any way possible.
In Health,
Jen

This is a great article, we aren't elite athletes but we can adopt some of their mindset to improve our performance.

If you’re actively involved in strength and conditioning, I think it’s safe to say you live among people that are “different.”  Supposedly, there are all these people out there that don’t even lift, hate their lives, and eat horrible things.  Meanwhile, everyone I know is fairly active, loves their…

I love this!! You are the only one that can change things in your life to see improvement in your health and fitness. Small changes over time add up, baby steps are better than not moving forward at all.

Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself.
