It’s public! I’m committed! Fitness as a lifestyle has taken over and permeates my very being (and let’s be honest, that just means my extra curricular calendar)! As promised, this blog’s intention is to address some of the unanswered question from a blog initially written, what are my next steps? So here it is, the answer to my question, and it is not all that complicated but it is a major undertaking. I have made the commitment to train and compete in 3-4 triathlons … [Read more...]

Motivation & Dedication – 90 Day Challenge
January 17, 2013 by 2 Comments
Where does motivation come from? Why the &%$#, do I have such great motivation some days and other days the only reason I do anything is cause I have too. I know I’m not a lone in this, it is a really interesting parallel, if you don’t have motivation you might not achieve the dedication, but if you don’t have dedication even with great motivation you might not push yourself. This week’s blog post has been tricky, not because I have nothing to say (really that just doesn’t … [Read more...]

December 14, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Last week I (Robin from Revive Wellness) met with Rosemary to help her practice some EBT (Emotional Brain Training) skills when she mentioned her 90 Day Challenge was finishing up this week.

Rosemary has truly made great strides along her journey and now has the tools to take her for the next 90 days (and so on)! Although I initially offered to … [Read more...]
How Fitness & Training Became One of my Top Priorities in Life
September 3, 2012 by 4 Comments
A couple of weeks ago, someone asked me: "what makes you feel strong?" The context was of an overall nature; not just strength but more of an overall strength of person. It surprised me a bit how little I had to think about my answer to this question. All of the sudden, it just sort of flowed out of me; My instant answer was ‘training’. It got me thinking about how things in my life had evolved to a place where training has become a top priority. I have always been involved in sports; … [Read more...]
I Love…

I love watching you struggle and I love hearing you say “no more”, I love seeing you tire and hearing you claim "I can't". I really love watching your struggles become your strengths and hearing you request "give me more", I really love watching you get up after a fall and hearing you protest "I can!" I'm sure that plenty of personal trainers can support this same feeling. More than anything else, working out is about the mental attitude. Within every single client we have, … [Read more...]
