…well, just like exercising – you fit in what you can every day. It may be a little more on some days and less on others.

The world we live in requires you to be your own health advocate. Fight for your health and well being. You’re worth it, and if you aren’t at a place where you think you are, don’t you think that your family, friends, and children are? ~trvw

Nourishing yourself has benefits beyond your initial consideration. When you eat well and exercise, your mental focus improves. Your mood improves and the people around you get inspired by your desire to live the best life you can. Your kids will practice the lifestyle that you are living out daily; don’t you want them to [...]
I say it often, but I’ll say it again. Don’t wait for the New Year to get active. Now is a perfect time to start moving your body. It alleviates stress and when you’re making an effort to be healthier, you will want to eat better. Plus, when you are scorching extra calories with exercise [...]
When you feel like you’re not measuring up in life, consider the characteristics that you do have. Be generous and kind. Give yourself the same pep talk you would give anyone else. ~trvw
