I forgot to mark a momentous occasion that passed recently — one year of Live Fit and Sore!

Here is the link to the post I created Nov 18th about why I started this blog:  http://livestrongandsore.com/2009/11/18/hello-world/

And today, here are my thoughts – I started this particular blog Nov 18 2009 with the intent of inspiring others to make a change in their lives. People everywhere come up with excuses as to why they can’t get started on living fit and healthy. Just this past Friday, I saw some people I don’t see very often and the topic of my healthy life came up.  This old friend of mine said that she had no time to do it because she has teenagers and is always busy getting them from here to there or helping them out. I call B.S. on that — as you know if you read this blog — there are women at the boot camp that are Moms of teens and they make a choice to get up early and fit in exercise because it’s important to them. As I have quoted before – –when you are ready to make a change, you will. And if 80% of losing weight is diet alone — that has NOTHING to do with time. That has to do with making the right choices.  You can always order a salad at a restaurant, some grilled chix etc.  But, enough lecturing —

My goal is to set an example to my kids and the people in my life that you can do it. Despite life’s adversities – it’s important to carve out time to exercise for health and stress relief. You can do it. I can do it.  And as you can see — it’s totally worth it.

So with that being said – I hope you find inspiration and support here — I feel great and am so inspired that I want to help others feel that way too.
