TGIF

Happy Friday too all my fellow bloggers and those lurking in the shadows. It's the weekend and it's time to kick back and relax. But don't forget to get at least one workout over the weekend. I am a firm believer in taking rest days, but IMO, taking 3 consective days off isn't productive.

I know you are ready to get your groove on, however take at least 30 minutes to workout , even if it just doing stretches or yoga. This will give you energy to drop it like its hot.

So remember to party like a rock star, but don't forget to work your body as well.

Have a great weekend and Fitness First & Always.

Looking In The Mirror

"I like what I see when I'm looking at me when I'm walking past the mirror" songed by Mary J. Bilge in the song Just Fine. This is a powerful statment that a lot of us can't or won't say.

Perception is everything, but more importantly, self perception is everything. IMO.....we were not all created to be a size 2. If the world was made up of everything being the same size, color and shape, it would be a boring place to be. The biggest mistake a lot of us make is making change because of someone else's perception of what they think we should look like.

So take a good look in the mirror, do you like what you see? If you do then embrace it, if you don't then change. But change it for you and only you.
