Smashfit.com & Heather Frey

April 26, 2009 eating disorders April 26, 2009

I thought I would introduce you all to Heather Frey and Smashfit if you are not already familiar. You can add her and her Smashfit group on Facebook. The reason I suggest this is that she sends GREAT Facebook messages. They are not about training and that if you do 25 crunches a day you’ll have abs of steel by June….instead they are mental and pscyhological messages about how to stay focused and keep on the right track, which is what we all need now and then, right?I attached a sample of one of those messages above. Also, her site has some really great articles also.My favorite so far….http://www.smashfit.com/article.php?aid=7She also has a new shirt that she’s selling once you’re fan of …

MUST HAVE: Vision Board

February 15, 2009 fitness February 15, 2009

I got the idea to blog about my vision board from Girl With No Name on her blog. Great idea!!! Thanks!I put together my vision board when I redesigned my office last Spring. I did not know that this year I’d be working from home and staring at it every day. Back then, I was using it only in the evenings after my long days at work when I wrote my masters papers. I’m now in here all day for work and then to write my papers at night, so my board is really important.I also blogged about my calender and you can see that blog post here to see how and why I made this calendar:http://fitori.blogspot.com/2009/01/inspiration-calendar-2009.htmlI change the pictures periodically. I have a …

fitness gear: Hand Sanitizer

February 15, 2009 fitness February 15, 2009

I found this in Oprah’s Magazine in September 2008. Thought I’d share with you because it looks like a great thing to keep in the car. I’ve added it to my list to get one. At least one day a week I forget to wash my hands before I get in the car and think…EWWWW! This looks like a less messy way than the gels and foams.

I Can’t

February 14, 2009 fitness gear February 14, 2009

I found this on Erik’s Blog on Lean Bodies Consulting, but it was originally written by Leigh Peele on her blog. I feel like I should give them both credit here for both writing it and for me finding it. I love love love it!! It’s fantastic!!! I CAN’T….. I can’t hit my diet today because I didn’t get a chance to get to the store. I can’t do my workout today because it is cold outside. I can’t get up right now and do my stretching because my neck hurts. I can’t stick to this diet plan because it just asks too much of me. I can’t stick to my diet today because I just need to get the job done. I can’t ...

Eco-Friendly Water Bottles

February 8, 2009 fitness February 8, 2009

Many of us are drinking a gallon or more of water a day and we need to take our water with us on the road out for the day. There has been a lot of controversy lately surrounding plastic water bottles and reusing them. I got a text message yesterday from my BFF, Shawna of styleberrry HOME who mentioned that a neurosurgeon told her yesterday that Nalgene bottles (that are not BPA free) are worse for us than we already know. So, I looked for some info to put on here about how bad they are for us, but then I realized that we are hearing from EVERYWHERE to stop using these plastic water bottles….so let’s stop using them! And, I decided instead to …
