Finding Time to Work Out
We all have busy lives, there is no question about that and finding time to fit in exercise is very hard. If I did not have an hour long lunch break I would have no idea as to when I could fit in a workout.If you have trouble finding time to work out try getting up earlier and going to the gym or just working out in your living room with a video, using your lunch hour or working out right after work before you head home for the day.Another option is to fit your workout in while you are doing something else. You could ride your bike to and from work, if your children are small enough put them in the stroller while you go for a run or walk, or if they are bigger have t

5 Diet Tips
Here are 5 diet tips that I find very helpful:1. Try to eat every 3 hours. If you are getting hungry before the 3 hours are up ask yourself these questions. (i) Am I really hungry or do I just want to eat? Try chewing a piece of gym instead of eating. (ii) Am I really hungry or am I thirty? Try drinking a big glass of water first. (iii) If you decided you really are hungry wait 10 minutes and then if you are still hungry go ahead and have a small, healthy snack – a piece of fruit, a handful of almonds, a glass of milk, a piece of cheese, you get the idea.2.

I did not wake up one day and say that I am going for a run and then I ran 5 miles – no way. As a kid I was never athletic. I did not even run my first mile until I went to college and my first mile took a long time to work up to it. I would go to the gym, hop on the treadmill and walk run for 30 minutes or so. I remember the first time I did run a mile on the treadmill. I was so happy.If you are a never, ever – you have never worked out or it has been a super long time, start slow but start. Here is a s

Happy Halloween - A little late
This year for Halloween Mikayla decided to be a princess. This was all of her doing. I have to admit she made a very pretty princess. Lily was the typical pumpkin. In Gunnison there is trick or treating downtown and this is HUGE. This was held on Friday night. Saturday we got dressed up again for a Halloween birthday party and then more tricking or treating. Let's just say that now we have WAYYYY too much candy in this house and most of it will be taken to work for the office candy basket. (Sorry these pictures are too small - I am having issues with my computer).Lily
