The title of this blog is a line from one of my favorite authors, Dan Millman.  I believe this line is from his book "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior".  If you need help making a change/transition or need motivation, it's a great read!

Need extra motivation? Let me share my story with you.....I personally gained over 20 lbs this last year due to stress.  2012 was a rough year for my family.  We have all been there....  Life Happens!  I allowed myself to "jump off the wagon"  for awhile, and drink red wine and eat things that I normally avoid or only have once in awhile. I knew that I would gain weight, especially when I even lost motivation to workout....Yes ladies, even trainers lose motivation from time to time. We are real people too! But that period of my life is behind me, and I am ready to be fit at 40!  My weekly routine now consist of 2 private Pilates sessions on the reformer, chair, and trapeze per week plus 1 weight lifting session per week to cover my strength training needs. For my cardio training, I teach a 55 minute spin class twice a week and do the elliptical for 2-3 hours per week, split into 45-60 minute cardio sessions.  I also have been doing weekly infrared body wraps and stretch therapy sessions for recovery and flexibility training.  All in all I am glad I have been back on the fitness bandwagon! In just a little over 2 weeks, I am already losing weight, toning up, and feeling better.  I will keep you all posted over the next 12 weeks during the Luna Fitness Weight Loss Challenge of how I am personally doing.  Feel free to share your success stories with me!  Let's motivate each other and our families to live a healthy lifestyle!

So ladies, I leave you with this....... "There are No Ordinary Moments!"-Dan Millman
