Holiday Time

The holidays are just around the corner and this can be a time when all the healthy eating habits go out the window! Make a conscious effort to get moving now, to start planning meals now, to avoid the drive-thru and have one small plate on Thanksgiving. I can't tell you how many times I have heard in the last week "Oh I am going to start eating right after Thanksgiving." Why wait until then? Make today the day and stay focused! Do anything you can to find the strength to see it through! If it takes finding a buddy that is on the same page, subscribing to a new fitness magazine, going for a walk daily or something that inspires you to be committed to a healthier lifestyle! We all fall into slumps but don't let your MO-JO slip away completely! Personally I am getting a little bored at the gym but lucky for me every time I feel I am slipping into boredom I recreate my experience in some kind of way. I have challenged my cousin to do back to back spin classes with me on this Saturday and we are amped! I can't wait! This is something new for me to look forward to! By no means am I doing two classes every Saturday but I do plan to mix it up as much as I can. Anyone want to join us, let me know!

The Dynamic Duo

Hard work pays off! I would like to share with all of you that one of my followers, my cousin also know as Six feet & Sexy (Alicia Cross McDonald) will be featured in the January issue of Essence magazine for her stunning results after losing 70 pounds and devoting her life to being healthy and fit. I am so proud of her! She works out hard and encourages everyone around her to take that leap of faith to turn their life around to be healthy not only for themselves but for the people they love. That's what it's all about. She is also my devoted work out partner at the gym. When we can we love working out together and get excited like kids at Christmas when new equipment arrives at the gym. We also have to make our 8:30 am Saturday morning spin class no matter how long we are out on a Friday night! If we are in town we are there or find a way to get into another. Nonetheless, between the two of us we have lost a whole person! We have each lost 70 pounds and continue to keep the weight off and maintain our healthy and fit lifestyle all while being a Mother, working full-time and having a life with family and friends and other interests. Get on board share the word, you too can be like the dynamic duo! Start now!!!!!!!!!!
