You Won!

I am so proud of all those participating in S3 Sizzlin Summer Slimdown. I've seen and others are expressing what S3 has done for them. On our Sizzlin Summer Slimdown Facebook page with 10 posts, there has been over 110 pounds reported lost in the 7 weeks of our challenge. That is the size of my two girls together with one of them holding a watermelon! And that's just from 10 of y'all, so we … [Read more...]

So Now What Do I Do?

SizzlingSummer-S3-13Logo

Yikes S3 is over and now I don't know what to do. "I'm going to continue on with all the S3 habits" "I really like the progress I have made so far." "It was easy for me to complete habit 3 but habit 6 was a lot harder" "Wow, I am more aware of what goes in my mouth for nutrition now." I have heard these comments with the final weigh in. The goal of S3 is not a contest as much as a … [Read more...]

Two Wheels on the Bike Go Round and Round

bike

The weather has been outstanding. My kids have been outside for most of the day. They come in exhausted and hungry. At our Breakfast Kitchen Seminar I was reminded of one of their favorite things to do; ride their bikes. I was asked this question: "I heard from ****** that I should put 80% of my effort into nutrition and only 20% of my effort into training. What is the percentage you, … [Read more...]

For 2013 It’s Not An Option

h

I was reminded by birthday girl Muriel Hall (60 is the new 40 - woohoo!) of something that was in the book "Younger Next Year" that we reviewed a few weeks ago. Training is your new job. (You need to read the book to get the total context, so get a copy, it's well worth it.) Now I know the word "job" doesn't always bring up the most pleasant images to all of our minds, but in this case it is … [Read more...]

Things That Matter

family

For some reason the past few days I have been reflecting on how fast time goes by. Recently Nancy and I were talking about when we first got married. 19 years old, living on love and not much else.  February will be our 27th anniversary - doesn't seem possible. I never really thought about getting older until recently. I mean I feel better than I did 20 years ago, taking care of myself a bit … [Read more...]

The Big Question

question mark

The awesome Martha from 5:00am sent me this quote from Jim Rohn, and it really got me thinking. I want to make you think a little bit too, so here it is: "You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do … [Read more...]

Make The Most of Every Day

Sunset

I was reminded once again this week how short life is, and how time passes by so fast. The first thing that reminded me was that Wednesday was (is) our anniversary. You guys that are in your late teens and early 20's probably think being married 26 years is FOR-EV-ER, but to me that time has swept through like a passing breeze. I think that Nancy and I would both agree that our marriage has … [Read more...]

Test Your Get Fit NH Knowledge

aplus

What do you see when you first walk into Get Fit NH’s Training facility? Gym Rats- those people who only know how to “pick things up and put them down”. Rooms full of machines that are difficult to use or you just can’t remember how to use so you jump on the treadmill AGAIN. An inviting space where you can meet a bunch of great people who all want to get in shape, just like … [Read more...]

Living Out “Make It Happen”

steps2

I was given "Robert Ringer's 20 Life- Guiding Principles" to read. He compiles a list of 20 sayings that he uses to focus his life and direct his activities. There were a few on this list that hit home. His number 12 fits right in with Get Fit NH's motto - "Make It Happen" It states - "Never fall into the trap of waiting for something to happen. Make it happen." The first time reading … [Read more...]
