Courtesy of Courtney from Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life (who ran her first 10k in April!) On race day, I was up at 6:30 and ready to go! Before leaving the house, I snacked on a piece of almond butter + banana toast for some pre-race fuel. By 7:45, I was down at the 10K Spring [...]
Courtesy of Julie from Peanut Butter Fingers. Julie is a healthy living blogger who succeed by following her heart, rather than her paycheck. People measure success in varying ways. Happiness. Money. Good friends. Close family. A top position at work. One of the things that stuck out to me about Ryan when we first started [...]
Courtsey of Alyssa from Life of bLyss For a “non-morning person,” I’ve been surprisingly happy to pop out of bed at 6 a.m. to bang out a few miles on the treadmill before work. This is where I like to be at 6 a.m. Today, as I was going through this rhythm for the third [...]
Courtesy of Gwen from All Things Gwen. Today marks 100 days of conscious eating. I can’t believe it. I USED to be able to eat whatever, whenever and never have to worry about it. People used to be amazed at my appetite. Life was good, especially since I’m a total foodie … until I turned [...]
Courtesty of Gretchen from Honey I Shrunk The Gretchen. I’ll admit that this is the part of my journey to health that I continue to struggle with the most: exercise. 1. Move. That’s it. Just move. One bullet point. That’s my big message for today. Don’t get me wrong, guys. I hate to exercise. Like, [...]
Courtesy of Ashley from Oh, Jones… I never thought that I would be writing a motivational post on training for a 5k. I also never thought that I would run a 5k, but this April I did just that. I had this idea to do the “Couch to 5k” program and spoke about in passing with [...]
Appears courtesy of Ellen at Undercover Runner Eats. It’s June. We’re halfway through the year and you’re looking back at your (unmet) New Year’s Resolutions and wondering “What was I thinking?”. Lose 20 pounds. Run a marathon. Go to the gym every day. All completely respectable goals. You started out on January 1 with a sweaty [...]
Appears courtesy of Paige at The Gravy Boat. I just finished the second week of the P90X fitness program. I went into the program expecting to be challenged and to struggle. I’m not in great shape. I have very little experience in strength training. I’ve been in an exercise rut that could possibly go on indefinitely. [...]
Appears courtesy of Burning It Off. Why Setting Goals is Key to Staying on Track You’ve just spent a year dieting and exercising your way down to your goal weight; people are constantly telling you how great you look and you finally fit into your skinny jeans. So now what? Some argue that the only [...]
Appears courtesy of Wedding and Weight Adventures. If you have read my previous posts, you can most likely gather that I have been on and off the workout wagon and have a hard time being consistent with my workouts. This past weekend, I went to my fiancé’s brother’s work for a “Breakthrough Seminar.” It was [...]
The benefits of exercise are endless, aren’t they? We all know the facts: improve cardiovascular endurance, combat risk of chronic illness, stress relief, weight management, energy boost. We could go on right? The question today is have you decided what you really want out of exercise and then set goals that not only are attainable [...]
Years can go by, one goal after another that falls away. Every Monday is a failed diet attempt, every piece of exercise equipment is a laundry hamper. This does more to us than contribute to our lack of health.
It disintegrates our belief that we can.
On a day like that, without knowing where fitness fits in your life, fits into the bigger picture of who you are, why bother?
That’s why I’m a huge advocate of creating visions, concrete, tangible, written out, visually represented ones.
