Push The Envelope and Challenge Yourself

After two weeks of taking it a bit easy, yesterday it was back to my Insanity workout program.  It really felt good to sweat and workout to the max again!  Just when I thought I was about to run out of 'juice', I heard one of my old trainer's voice in my head saying to me, 'is that all you got?  The other guy is training harder than you are and only one of you will win a fight'.  That just puts in all into perspective - I decided to suck it up and let's face it....we can all do anything for another 14 or 15 minutes if we push ourselves (given that we have no heart conditions or other serious health conditions).  So, it was down for more suicides, pushups, ski abs and whatever else there was to do.  I felt great afterward....a Winner never quits.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  It's good to take a little time off and relax, smell the flowers and lie in the sun like a lazy dog.  But after a short spell, it's time to get that rested body back to the business at hand.  A llittle rest and relaxation can go a long way....you'll be surprised when you get back into your normal routine how much more you can push yourself and how far you'll be able to stretch your limits to new lengths.

It's April 3rd and Time to Start Something New

Whoopeee!  It's April 3rd and I've completed my 90 day Insanity Fitness Challenge.  I've lost inches everywhere and 20lbs.  I've been following my own customized Wellness Program and have adopted minor lifestyle changes.  Shopping for clothes has become fun again and I'm really enjoying myself.  But...now what????
I've achieved my original goal, so now is the time to set the stage for reaching my second goal....another few inches and another several pounds to be 'picture perfect'.  I want my 50s to be as fabulous as they can be and being as fit and healthy will help make all that happen for me.  I've devised a second stage Wellness Program that will include Brazilian Butt Lift, Insanity, jump rope and some Muay Thai pad work to keep me fit, supple and ready for anything coming my way.  Nutritional plan includes one cheat meal per week and a continuation of a dietary plan full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

Work Out, Eat Right, Reap the Rewards

Everybody always talks about getting into that swimsuit or miniskirt in time for the warmer weather.  Well, have you ever considered getting back into that fabulous fall skirt or Zegna suit?  Today, I began switching the summer clothes out of the closet and bringing the seasonal items in.  I decided to try on a few items that had no longer fit last year, but I was too stubborn to give up on either myself or my great clothing.  Much to my surprise, those fabulous Armani skirts fit nicely again, as well as some other amazing pieces.  I'm a happy camper...all that hard work is paying off just in time for fantastic Fall fashion.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Workout, eat right, don't fall into the cooler weather trap of heavier foods and exercising less.  You should want to look and feel great all year long.  Remember, those silly holidays are coming and, if you're like me, you'll want to escape to someplace warm during those days.  What better way to prepare for a winter getaway than to keep up the good work!
