I wish I were more upright but this is me; not quite parallel but I can get this far down. But when I start using weight: I need to get this far down, every time, else I am using too much weight.

I had what I would consider an exercise obsession (work off everything you eat) and overly strict diet (I’m talking zero fat- very bad). So, I quickly realized that working in the field would not be the best long-term fit for me. I choose not to work in a field that is based largely on superficial results. And yes, there are a lot of internal physical benefits to exercise, and I will continue to offer advice and exercise myself, but being totally immersed in the fitness industry is not for me. I don’t find it rewarding on the level I am looking for. For some, it’s the perfect fit, and that’s great. It’s just not for me.

Simply put, your BMI is a ratio of your weight compared to
your height. It really is that simple. In fact, it is that simplicity that
means that BMI isn’t always a 100% reliable way to judge if your body shape is
putting you at risk of weight-related health problems.
Now, that’s not to say that you should ignore the BMI value
you get – a healthy adult should be looking at having a BMI value of between
18.5 and 25 and if you do have a value of above 35 in particular then you are
definitely at risk of weight-related health problems, regardless of any other
factor.
That said, for the 25-35 BMI range there are a few risk
categories which may cause over or under-estimation, which include:

In August of 2017, my friend Jessie who is a Coach at a local Crossfit gym, invited me and 
several friends to a class she was teaching that was starting in September called Get Fit! I had tried a number of things over the years of young motherhood to manage my diet and fitness, like running and yoga and learning more about how to cook and eat in a balanced manner. I had run a number of 5K and 10K races and I frequently would run my energetic dog for exercise.
I was very intrigued by Crossfit when I started to meet more and more women who were involved in it and who had transformed their physical appearance by working out at Crossfit gyms. I had previously assumed this was a guy thing and that it would be ridiculously hard-too hard for me to ever succeed at as…

Hello and Happy February! I hope 2019 has been treating you very well, and you’ve been able to make you and your health a priority this year! January’s wicked polar vortex has come and gone…and now onto sweet little February! Yes, it’s the shortest month of the year, but it’s also the month known for focusing on heart health! With cardiovascular issues running deep in my family, I tend to be hypersensitive to this topic. I encourage you to always focus on your heart and keep that muscle strong so it beats for many years to come. Don’t forget, heart disease is the leading killer of American men and women. A few quick tips that I can’t emphasize enough!

As I sit at home this morning, enjoying the snow day, I try to motivate myself to go on a run. I’ve been doing pretty good with working out. I have only taken 2 days off since the first of the year, which, I say, is reasonable. But, today I just couldn’t seem to get myself motivated.
Last night, I was looking online at clothes, and found myself avoiding adding some tops I really liked being added to my cart. I would tell myself, “maybe when you’ve lost more weight, you could try something like this.” Or seeing skirts that were my style, but short, saying “maybe when you’ve gotten down to a size 0.” And today motivating myself to run, all I could think about was being fat.
Honestly, I am by NO MEANS fat. I just struggle a lot with body image. I allowed others to determine…
