Cindy And Jill Went Up the Hill

Jill Before

and Jill After Below

I have been lucky in my fitness business that I get to work with many wonderful clients. I wanted to spotlight one of my clients today. Her name is Jill and she is awesome! Jill called me the day of the 2008 Superbowl and her words to me were "I AM READY!" Well, I would have to say that YES she was ready and has lost 20+ pounds and many inches. Jill is a powerhouse! In my opinion what has made her successful in her weight loss journey is that she puts in the time at my gym, but she also watches what she is eating. She gave up soda! Her beloved soda and never looked back. I know that there has been days when it does feel like the journey is all up hill, but Jill keeps putting in the work! Way to go Jill I am so proud of you and you continue to inspire me!

Just One Thing

I had the pleasure of attending a nutritional seminar at the COOPER INSTITUTE in Dallas this past week. Kim, one of the ladies at our Keller EDGE asked me what was the one thing that I took away from the seminar that stood out the most. I would have to say it was this...cardiovascular fitness will improve your overall health more quickly than weight loss. I thought this was great because so many of us wait until we are thinner before we start working out. I can't tell you the number of people who tell me that they are embarrassed to go to the gym because they feel like they are too heavy. The Cooper Institute has done studies and have proved that cardiovascular fitness improves your health and reduces health risks more quickly than just losing weight alone. So just remember that changes and health benefits occur on the inside far more quickly than they might show up on the outside. I say get to the gym, take a walk or run, just do something to improve your cardiovascular system. So ladies don't wait until you are in a size 6 jeans or men don't wait until you have a 36 inch waist before you start working out.

Chicka-lay may be OK

When my girls were very small I took them to a Chick-fil-a Restaurant almost daily for lunch. It was a cheap way for their mother to have a mental health break from being in baby jail all day with two small children. My youngest daughter fondly called it "Chicka-lay" and still does to this day. Anyway I was pleasantly surprised by this article on fast food that stated that "Chicka-lay" is one of the better fast food restaurant choices. I still love this restaurant to this day. If they ever trade publicly on the stock market I would love to buy some of their stock and make money off of myself. If you are smart in your choices you can find a somewhat healthy meal on their menu. Show up and make it count!
