Weighing Everyday Could Drive You Crazy

People who wish to lose weight and weigh everyday drive me crazy. They take off their shoes before getting on the scales. They need immediate gratification, if they don't get it their day is ruined. The best approach is to pay attention to how your close fit at the beginning of your program.....this is the best way to gauge the loss of body fat.

For the most part if your clothes are fitting more loosely you are losing body fat...If they are fitting more tightly, you're gaining body fat.

Weighing once a week should be enough. Try these three things :

  • Be consistent with what you are wear
  • Use the same scale if possible
  • Weigh at approximately the same time on the same day each week

Loving Life And Using My Gifts

Playing drums is one of my passions it is physical and mentally challenging. I returned to performing live last Saturday after twenty three years. Taking time away from playing to get my life in order was something I needed to do. The love for playing drums never went away and I'm thankful to still have the gift.

We all Have Vices

Physical activity helps keep bad vices from taking over our life. It is easier to teach this lifestyle than it is to live it. I've struggled with many, but fitness has always brought me through them.

"Making sure that we have more good habits than bad ones is the key to keeping issues at a respectable distance."

Moderation in all things is a great proverb to live by.

Stay healthy, and enjoy life!

Running Hills Can Be Fun

Make a game out of running hills and work them into your routine. Be consistent and you'll get better. Try not to look at the top, look a few yards out. This will ease the pain of knowing how steep or how long the hill is going to be. Hills can be fun and they are a great conditioning tool.

Have fun!

Hard Work Pays Off For A Client

I brought my exercise mat with me and I'm doing my exercises. I'm getting stronger thanks to you. I was able to go kayaking, my arms held up to paddle, and my back didn't give out.

Thank you for that,
Diane W.
