Standing Still

June 22, 2009 inspiration June 22, 2009

I got an email this morning from SparkPeople and loved this quote. I love this saying because I think there’s even more meaning with weight loss and fitness goals.

I am so excited about my results this 2 weeks. I really see that my waist is trimming. My thighs are leaning out a bit, but I have a ways to go before my jeans will fit. I’m still one size up in my jeans and pants for now. I’m ...

As the proud owner of a “retriever” I have to admit that I love all ads and commercials with retrievers in them….labs or goldens. So, when I saw this commercial I thought it was adorable. I know it has nothing to do with Fitness but it has something to do w/ me…FITori
