Have you ever wondered why you cannot keep doing the same thing over and over and achieve different results? That, I have been told, is the definition of insanity. In my opinion if you try to follow the same “Diet” or “Guru Fitness Routine” and try nothing else….you will achieve the same results as someone carrying out the same action. Let’s take this to the next level. There are probably half a dozen or so healthy habits you need to follow to be extremely fit and healthy.

We are officially half-way through summer! Wow, can you believe it??
However you look at it, if you have not taken my advice in the past year…….start now.
Last January I wrote a blogpost stating you should have started your fitness goals then for the summer.
Then I wrote another in April mentioning you should start for this Fall back then. And now, guess what season I am going to tell you to start getting prepared for when it comes to achieving your health and fitness goals?? You got it. Winter. Yup, I know some of you are possibly going to hate reading this but in all honesty, I only want to share my point which is STOP PROCRASTINATING NOW!

Another great question, this one from Erminia:
How do you optimize your fitness level (cardio, strength, flexibility), while ensuring you’ll be injury free (or almost ensuring). Often times I would like to train towards something like the Ride to Conquer Cancer etc. and am held back because I worry that I will pay for the extra training with my body (back).
Having incorporated Yoga, and using things like chiro, osteo, bowen, massage, accupuncture in my life are tools I thought would really keep me injury free for years. Although I’ve not really experienced anything major, I don’t like to be held back.
Is this just something one has to accept at the ripe young age of 44, or do you have tricks up your sleeve you’d like to share? I’m hoping you have a long sleeved shirt on, and not a tank top – ha!

Another great question, this one about eating and workout timing:
“I’m at work until 5 p.m. every day, when and what should I eat before leaving work to ensure that I am feeling alert and energenic enough to work out when I get home around 6:00 or 6:30? I struggle with feeling tired and hungry when I get home which makes the choice between working out and having dinner a tough one.”
Thanks Bec

Wow, one week after doing my all-time best DB Curls with 50lbs I had my buddy Irv spot me and I think he did not help but I did 4 reps each arm. Feeling great and alive in 2009, thanks for everyone who has supported me and is a member of this blog.
I will be posting something on July 17 that is a bit of a surprise. Stay tuned for that one.
You must have a plan when you are going to shop for your groceries or you may as well just ask the next person beside you in the parking lot to double-up on their choices and you will meet them at the check-out counter, please and thank you!
To really succeed in the healthy and fit categories of your life wellness journey you must plan for success. I always plan for three or four days out and actually make a concerted effort to mathematically tally up what we will be needing.

Wow, felt incredible in the gym today and did my all-time best in dumbbell bicep curls…..50lbs.
I am feeling so great and turning 41 the other day has just opened up a new way of thinking. I can be one of the fittest people around and I am in my 40’s. While some others are saying they are starting to get and feel old, I am feeling the exact opposite-young and vigorous.
Thanks to everyone who is willing to put the extra effort into their health and fitness, there will be a great payoff.
