Self Discipline, The Magic Pill

Trying to get myself back on a plan

Trying to get myself back on a plan

I was seriously burnt out on all fronts. Life and work became so stressful I lost my focus. Basically I’ve gotten out of shape. Most of my friends say I am not out of shape but to my standards yes I am. I’m carrying an extra 11-12lbs of weight and about 8-9% extra body fat as I enter mid June of this year. What I’ve learned is that the simplest things can interfere with my goals. I went through a…

It is more than just…

Through all the sweat I also see frustration in their eyes from the little bit of love that the scale gives them after all of those hours and gallons of sweat. According to the National Center for Health…

How often should I meet with a personal trainer?

TheLivingFitCPT:

Recognizing The Need For Change

I think everyone sooner or later recognizes the need for change in their lives. It is usually this sense of need that inspires us to want to get in shape or incorporate fitness into our lives on a more regular basis.

The idea of change is usually very stressful to the human mind. Change often means instability. Change often leads to unknowns, things that we are not sure if we are ready for and…

The Infamous New Years Resolution: I'm Going To Get In Shape This Year

The Infamous New Years Resolution: I’m Going To Get In Shape This Year

Like me, many of you probably woke up this morning wondering why you drank so much last night. You also probably remember all the promises you made to yourself over the last few weeks since indulging in that turkey and all those sides at Thanksgiving. You probably even blabbed to everyone over that third glass of champagne, Ciroc or Hennessy that you were drinking last night about how you’re…
