Happy Mother's Day to All! Mother's Day is interesting. It's an entire day set aside to show appreciation to all the mother's out there. That is really great but wouldn't it be more realistic and better if you were to treat every day like mother's day? Think about it. The only reason any of us exist is because of our mothers. I can't speak for anyone else but my mom is nothing short of amazing. There are not enough words in any language to begin to describe how influential, helpful and awesome my mom is. So how do I go about trying to show my appreciation, respect, gratitude and love for my mom in just a single day?!  My mom is the epitome of what a mother should be. She is a strong, powerful woman who stops at nothing to achieve what she wants or what she feels is best for her family. Growing up my mom was always super independent, kicking ass and taking names at work. She would show up early, fix problems other incompetent people had made and the...

As a certified fitness professional, I hear a lot of things/excuses from people regarding their schedules and abilities (or lack thereof) to exercise/make time for heir health. I'm writing this post based on the statements made during a conversation I had yesterday with a member of mine. She had spent twenty minutes or so expressing frustration about her diet and weight loss issues. She went into detail regarding the typical ups and downs of weight loss; the roller coaster of emotions and weight change. After listening to her intently and conveying my understanding for her situation, since it is a struggle well-known by the majority of the population, I really did not have that much sympathy for her. As a certified fitness professional, I have heard this story or ones similar to it almost daily. It's not that I don't understand or have compassion for their struggles, but is time for some BRUTAL HONESTY. The degree of passion which my members/clients/friends express fr...

DONATE TO THE VICTIMS OF BOSTON: http://onefundboston.org/ It is with a heavy hand and a heavy heart that I struggle to write this post. The images, the eye-witness accounts from yesterday's tragedy are on a continuous reel in my head and all over ever piece of media. Yesterday was supposed to be a day of celebration for all those in Boston and supporters of the Boston Marathon. For those that do not know, I am born and raised in Boston, MA. I grew up in the area and as am advocate of fitness was a huge fan of the marathon. I ran my first Boston Marathon in 2005 with no training, no advice, no phone, water etc; just a curious nature and a strong belief that I could do it. After a successful completion of the 2005 Marathon, I was addicted. I continued the addiction by running the Boston Marathon in 2006, 2007 and 2008. I also worked as an intern at the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) that organizes and puts the entire event together. Needless to say there is a lot of p...
