Fit and Strong, Motivation

I don't know about you, but I find it hard to maintain motivation, especially keeping momentum during difficult times. Maybe it's dealing with an immediate situation when a family member needs help. Or when a car decides to act up. Maybe it's a work-related "crisis" of one kind or another. Or it could be an internal problem - the flu, a cold, a sore muscle or a sleepless night. It doesn't really matter the cause. There are roadblocks to keeping momentum of healthy eating, working out regularly and making consistently good choices, right? In my heart, I know keeping momentum is the key to me being strong and fit. Here are six ways of keeping the momentum during difficult times: Gratitude List - What am I grateful for?...

How to Make Your Own Walking Desk

I know that it is 2018 and that now bicycle desks are becoming the hot thing and that walking desks are so 2015 but today I’m feeling very pleased with myself. I own a lovely treadmill that I bought last year on a Black Friday deal. I use it for running indoors when I don’t go to the gym and for walking in the evening sometimes while I’m watching TV and need to get in some steps. So let me tell you about making a walking desk. This treadmill takes up a lot of space in my family room so I feel that if it’s going to sit here taking up floor space and represent a significant investment in fitness, I should use it more. I...

Maintaining Weight Loss - Consistency Over Intensity

Maintaining Weight Loss – Consistency Over Intensity

During the winter months, it can be difficult to stay the course for maintaining weight loss. Long dark nights. Cold blustery weather. We are almost six weeks into New Year's Resolutions and I find that I need a reminder about what I promised myself. Maintaining weight loss. Developing muscle strength. Cultivating good eating habits. Already this year I've not been to the gym on a regular basis as much as I intended. Maybe two days a week instead of my usual four or five. Generally I go skiing down the slopes at a nearby resort during the winter months. This year I haven't been outside as much as I've wanted to, partly due to sub freezing weather the early part of January. Then I've also been dealing with...

Book Review, Fit and Strong, Motivation

I recently read a book called The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. And I have been able to change some habits! The book explores how habits work. The author studied how businesses change the habits of their employees as well as how everyday people lose weight, keep it off and start consistently exercising. My big "ah-ha" with this book was to learn to change the thing I do right before the action. I found this description of the book on Amazon: At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. The book explains the 3 parts of...
