"Show me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are" Anonymous I am a believer in the Law Of Attraction. I believe that you can, knowingly or unknowingly, attract people or situations into your life. I also believe that old adage: Birds of a feather flock together. So often we ignore this. We don't want to rock the boat and stop hanging with people that we know it isn't in our best interest to kick it with. We don't want to exit from a situation that is toxic because everything else is going so great! We will create excuses or just pass the buck all the way around just so we won't have to confront and be emotionally mature. Are you here? Do you find yourself doing this? Creating excuses for people and their bad behavior(s)?Hanging out with people that you do love, and there isn't anything wrong with loving them, but not really having a good time when you are with them? Wasting time and energy on situations that you know nothing fruitful can gr...

I say something to my Personal Training clients that I always said to myself and still do: "Don't make this whole weight loss thing bigger than what it is(excuse the pun).

I try not to say write a "Problem List" I use the word priority instead; it is way more positive and why turn it negative if we don't have to? So, sit and write your priority list, once you have finished, look and see what is number 1, is it your health?  9 out of 10 times, for most of us, it isn't. The list usually goes like this: 1.

"Nobody cares about your excuses.nobody pities you for procrastinating nobody is going to coddle you because you are lazy.its your ass you move it." I saw this quote and had to share it. When I saw it; it was as if someone had been listening to my inner thoughts when I first started seriously exercising.  My mantra, said while power walking, jogging, or anything that I didn't want to do and had to force myself, was: Get up and MOVE! Move that fat ASS! Seeing that it is my butt, I can call it fat all I want and I did. Everyone has their own mantra and motivator's, we also have our excuses: I don't have time, I don't like to sweat( seriously!?), I feel funny working out, people are judging me( they already have, who cares!), my body jiggles( yes, because you don't workout!) etc. And while we have all used one of these or created new excuses, it is still our butts getting wider by the minute. Sitting on the sofa, watching whatever television show is caus...
