"HOLIDAYS" are here! This is my favorite time of year, therefore I am back to full-time blogging. From Halloween, until the New Year - I will have to listen to "excuses" as to why people can't workout. "It's cold, it's dark, I have no energy" are just a few.
First of all, let me say that back in the day, I used to race home to my couch where I would sit until it was time to go to bed. I couldn't wait to put on my sweats and chill. Because of the cold, dark weather, I always craved hot, filling foods. Needless to say, I turned into a bear, ready for hibernation. My appetite increased (mostly carb cravings) and my activity level diminished dramatically. Guess what? I gained 15 pounds and became increasingly depressed.
I'm in the business of inspiring others to be ACTIVE and committed because I want you to feel as good as possible. Exercise and clean eating is the only way to do this. Don't fall into the TRAP! It takes strength, determination and desire to stay committed to your health and body during the winter months. You can do it! TRY TRYING!!

This is the season where sweets and treats are prevalent, tempting and in your face at the office, at home, at friends, at the bank and just about everywhere. We are hit with a whammy every few weeks from here until the New Year making it harder to stick with an exercise regimen and proper diet. Family gatherings and holiday travel make it sometimes difficult to continue training especially if you do not go somewhere with gym access. All these holidays revolve around good, rich and yummy foods which you want to and should partake in especially if you have been exercising and eating right! Read Full Article >>
