We discussed emotional eating and sabotage yesterday so let's talk about the two primary reasons we break our "diets". Peers You are who you hang with. Pure and simple. How many times on the weekend have you been going strong until you went out drinking or out to eat with your friends and...

Today was my chest workout and I followed it with a 40 minute stairmaster, interval, abs, mix workout that really had me sweating and breathing hard. My menstrual cycle and working out is giving me a little issue only because it is difficult to keep my crampy back comfy while doing my weights and cardio...

Ahhhh…chest day. I think this is my least favorite body part to train mainly because I am so weak in this area and the exercises are just grueling. The only way I know to get past my stinking-thinking about chest day is to set a goal. My goal is to do 50 push ups by June…and I’m talking about the full...

Let me begin with saying the push up challenge is certainly working my chest and arms because my upper body is just raging from all of this work. Compound that with my near crippled legs from yesterday’s “how to fry your legs without any weights” workout and you have one miserable looking woman staggering...

The last three days have been interesting since I each workout has involved shoulders. I didn’t plan it that way but by the end of my chest workout (which involved a lot of bearcrawling and a lot of push ups) I noticed my shoulders felt like they were on fire! The other interesting thing is that I not...

Exercising is not always the easiest habit to establish. I mean, hey, half the battle is putting the time into it , right? But, do you ever wonder if you are getting everything you need out of the workout? Are you truly pushing yourself each and every day or do you go to the gym and go through the motions...

Do you ever wake up in the morning, run to the scale, weigh-in, and either do a joyful dance because you are at your “happy weight” or slump your shoulders and look for your fat clothes because you gained a pound? For women, the scale has a powerful control over us and can dictate how we feel about ourselves...

I endlessly discuss how you cannot live by the scale. It is such an inaccurate way to see weightloss success. 1. It doesn’t tell you what type of weight you are losing. Plenty of people who burn, burn, burn on the cardio neglect to add in strength training to their routine. These people lose a combination...

What keeps you motivated has to be in the top five questions I am asked by my clients and readers. Motivation is such an individual thing; what works for one doesn’t always work for another. I decided to list some of the things I found helpful along my journey. Maybe you will find something on my list...

Welcome home to me! It’s so good to be back and getting into the routine. I did not workout yesterday. Our flight was delayed in Vegas so we did not get in until 3:00 a.m. Rather than slugging through a half-*** workout I chose to rest, work, play with my son, and go to the grocery. This was in prepartion...
