My Story: Getting Into the Fit Mentality
One thing I really struggled with when I made the decision to lead a fit and active life was maintaining relationships with people who were used to the old me—the carefree girl who preferred spontaneity and partying to routines and workouts. What they didn’t understand was that my decision impacted all aspects of my life, not just the time I spent at the gym. And to accomplish the goals I set for myself, I needed a change in mind, not just a change in body.
You absolutely need to surround yourself with positive influences and keep an upbeat, can-do attitude to achieve your goals. Chances are, friends and family may not be the most supportive-tempting you with familiar foods or activities that are not a part of your new lifestyle, making fun of the time you spend on working out, or not supporting you in your new decisions. But there is a reason they are part of your life, and you are part of theirs. So by being patient and keeping the lines of communication open, you can save your relationships and keep making progress in your quest to be fit.
Make it a Salad Summer
Summer is a terrific time to take advantage of lots of nutritious foods that are in season. To truly make the most of this opportunity and maximize health benefits, consider packing (or carefully purchasing) a salad for lunch! A salad every day may sound boring, but you can jazz it up with fresh fruit, vegetables, and small amounts of nuts to make a flavorful treat. Salads are also an excellent way to introduce new foods or foods you may not want to eat on their own, such as spinach or kale.

50 years old! and LIVING MY LIFE!
Posted July 16th, 2010 by AnonymousMany know me from other websites that I blog on. For those who don't, I am Teri LaFaye. July the 24th, I will turn 50 years old.Now, I don't know exactly what "50" feels like. The number sounds big....sounds old....let's see: 4 decades, 2 quarter centuries make a half of a century, and the HALF a century conjures up interpretations and scearms OLD. But this is where I disagree. The numbers are there ... true...but I am more fit than I was when I was half my age. And well, 50 feels fantastic!

See Jane Run 1/2 Marathon. The closest I have been to a sub 2. We started fast, it was nice and cool. Through the middle, it got hot. Maintained a good pace. Towards the end, I tried not to think about it and focused on each mile and ran each as fast as I could.
