You’re doing the best you can!
Hi!
I overheard this statement at the gym the other day and it really struck me as something important to address. However, it did not come out of an adult’s mouth, but rather a teenager. It is peculiar to me that as adults, we become more and more judgmental of ourselves, beating ourselves up time and time again over trivial things (i.e. that last pound or two, eating too many bites of cake, not running your last 5K fast enough, etc. etc. etc).
Do you constantly beat yourself up if you do not reach a certain goal within an allotted time period? Are you constantly judging yourself? Despite your hard work and effort, do you feel unhappy with what you’ve been given or what you’ve achieved? Do you set your personal bar too high?
Stop these negative behaviors right now and realize that you’re doing the best you can!
Imbalances
Howdy!
Have you assessed your current state of well-being lately? How are you feeling in general? Is everything in line? Do you feel healthy, strong, vital? Or do you feel achy in odd places, tired, anxious, worn-out?
If so, you may need to re-assess your current work-out program or lifestyle practices and make some changes. Don’t wait until something severe happens until you decide to do something about it!
I have always preferred running to other forms of exercise even though I know it’s important to cross train. I am just one of those people who adores running and can’t seem to get the same feeling that I get from running from other cardiovascular exercise.

Balance
Hello!
I’m back!
Lately the subject of balance has been on my mind and I want to discuss it a bit further, for I feel that we all could use a bit more balance in our lives.
Do you honor your body at all times or do your force yourself to do things that you really don’t want to do because you feel you have to or because you are used to the habit?
Debunking the recent Time article
The cover story of the August 9, 2009, issue of Time magazine featured an article entitled, “Why Exercise Won’t Make You Thin.” In this piece, author John Cloud made several inaccurate and unsubstantiated claims regarding the value of exercise, particularly as it relates to weight loss.
