Posted on July 2, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Eating healthy, Making it happenShare I had lunch with a fellow corporate warrior/amateur athlete today.

Why being sore makes me smile
Posted on January 17, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare It snowed last night when I was driving home. I think it kept snowing at least part of the night.

I love The Workout Zone
Posted on December 7, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare Today I had Core Synergistics on tap (recovery week #1!) and just wasn’t into it. I don’t know why. I left work on time (VICTORY!), I wasn’t working out on a full stomach, I wasn’t tired. But I just was not into it. But because I went and signed myself up for the Tough [...]

Open Invitation: 90-Day Challenge Group Starting Nov. 7
Posted on October 24, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, Online resourcesShare When I look around, I see so many people around me who sacrifice their health ambitions – knowing that they are doing so – because living a healthy lifestyle is a genuine challenge.

Reward your hard work.
Posted on September 29, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare Reward yourself for meeting or continuing to work toward your goals in some way, not necessarily food or exercise-related. Get a massage, see a movie, buy that thing you’ve been eyeing. One of my favorites is taking a bath with scented epsom salts, making a French green clay mask, lighting some candles, and reading [...]

Intense exercise also [...]

Put yourself on your to-do list.
Posted on August 21, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Eating healthy, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare You are absolutely right in that you don’t have time to eat right and exercise, just like you don’t have time to do everything someone wants you to do at work. There will never be enough time to do everything. Something will be left undone. Don’t let it be taking care of yourself! What we do do is [...]

How to become a person that exercises
Posted on August 21, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare 50% of people who start an exercise program quit within the first six months. That’s not exactly reassuring if you’re thinking about starting one. The good news about statistical numbers like these (well, the best news you can wrangle out of them anyway) is that even if the odds aren’t in your favor, there [...]

Annoyance can become joy
Posted on August 18, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, My fitness journeyShare Last night’s scheduled Back & Biceps workout wasn’t getting me particularly excited. (I schedule my workouts in terms of programs – both running plans and Beachbody home fitness programs – to make sure I always know what workout I’m doing, months in advance, so that I’m obviously giving up progress toward a fitness goal [...]
