Age is Just a Number
Something I hear *a lot* is some variation on “I’m 45 (or 35 or 55), so I don’t expect my body to look like it did when I was 20. I know it just gets harder and harder to maintain your weight as you get older.” Okay, I am all for realistic expectations! BUT I’m telling you right here, right now DO NOT SELL YOURSELF SHORT, LADIES! Please do not let your beliefs about aging limit your ability to live to your potential. Yes, bodies age. Yes, metabolism does slow down a bit as

Be the Tortoise
The Tortoise and the Hare is one of my favorite fables and I truly believe that 'slow and steady' is the best approach to health and fitness. I see too many people hit it too hard at the beginning and then burn themselves out, but it's those *quietly consistent* ones who reach their goals.

A Healthy Enough Diet…Keeping It Real
I’m always looking for good reads about nutrition so when a client recommended that I read The Beauty Detox Solution by Kimberly Snyder, I put it on my list. I finished the book this weekend. It was well-written, non-preachy, and full of some really great information and it left me feeling like…my diet is complete and utter *crap*. I like to think of myself as a fairly healthy eater, but compared to this Kimberly let’s just say I am not the healthiest Kimberly in the room.
