Health and Fitness Blogs

Last week was an "A" type person's nightmare.  Not that I consider myself an A type person but many of those around me do so when their life gets thrown out of whack, so does mine. Shortened weeks are always a little bit hectic and with the Labor Day holiday, Tuesday felt like Monday which meant people didn't want to get moving until Wednesday when the week was half over already. 

THIS WEEKS HEALTHY WINNER...   

I am reining it in! My eating was out of control over the weekend. Family in town and I went on a binge. Now I have to start back on the low carb, lots of greens and veggies. Protein and working harder to burn, baby, burn it off! Can't wait to get started! 

Hello everyone! 

The ONLY diet I am on these days is a News Diet.  With today’s 24/7 news spin-cycle networks have to find ways to keep audiences tuned in.  They do this by sensationalizing and dramatizing events which play on our emotions.  Notice how they build up the intensity just before a commercial break so you will stay tuned?  Since the invention of the DVR, networks have to take advantage of every opportunity to get advertising revenue and the news is the ONE show many do not record and therefore cannot fast forward through advertisements. 

Anyone following a traditional weight loss plan knows it takes time (and a lot of hard work!) to produce results. It’s no wonder that when we see ads featuring lean, attractive models guaranteeing us that their secret ingredients can help speed up the process, we’re a little tempted to give them a try.

Do you envy those awesome runners that you see?  Do you admire their strong bodies, their awesome health and enthusiasm? Even if you have never run a step in your life, Yes You Can Health and Fitness can get you on track to becoming a stronger, healthier you!  No skills required! Join us for our beginning running class and beginners boot camp and prepare for participation in the Arlington Toys for Tots or other holiday 5K fun run/ walks! You will meet others like yourself that will help keep you motivated!

SANDY IS THIS WEEKS HEALTHY WINNER...

  Fall is, most definitely, my favorite time of year.  The smell of fall in the air, the beautiful colors of the leaves changing, cooler weather, less bugs, oysters back in season, but most importantly(you probably guessed it), College Football!!!
