If you go solely by Facebook standards, our family is only one that hasn't already decked the halls for Christmas. I mean it's not even DECEMBER and I'm starting to feel the pressure. Speaking of pressure - see how easy it is to pivot- I know the holiday hustle and bustle are the Numero Uno …

How I Stay Focused
Like you, I cycle through phases where it's harder to stay on track and motivated. Giving up isn't an option so I've developed some tried and true strategies that help me reach my goals. Prioritize You cannot expect to reach your goals if the steps to reaching them gets scrapped because something comes up. In …
Who’s Ready for Week 4?
I love a 30 day challenge. I know, you've heard. I find them very motivating and enjoy the act of having something to do every day. If, however, you've been floundering here's a little secret. Making a conscious decision that you are going to stick with a challenge for 30 days is the challenge. Ahhh …
30 Day Boot-Camp Challenge Calendar
I like challenges because they propel, push and move you forward or help pull you out of a rut. So dive in. Commit. With this challenge, there's something to do every day. Some days it's a little something, some days a little more. Print the calendar, post it near your computer, by your running shoes, …

And How Does That Make You Feel?
One thing I truly enjoy doing at night is a guided meditation. I find it relaxing, soothing and a helpful way to end my day. It is suggested, in a lot of the things I read, that meditation is encouraged in the morning to start one's day. But mediation makes me sleepy so nighttime works …
B-Ack! to Training
School starts in two weeks which brings up mixed emotions. I LOVE summer but I also LOVE structure and summer with the kids home blows that up. They're old enough to be free range; one works, one burns his eyes out on his Xbox and I can get to the office when I need …
Get Out. Get Fit.
I can't remember the last time I stepped foot in a gym for a class or a workout. And I used to be a very devoted gym-goer. The bike, treadmill (oh yes I did), weights, aerobics, the pool, the locker room. Yep. Did it all. But now? Nope. Can't do it. Won't do it. I …
How to Run
First let me state the obvious. People make running way more complicated than it needs to be. Sure, there's cadence, pace, foot placement, etc. but for a new runner it's all Greek so let's keep it simple and just focus on what to do with your body when you run. Ok. Start running. Now …
