Yes, you CAN be thin again after having kids...

Having kids is an easy out for why we can't lose the weight we want to lose and be thin and fit again. This excuse is a bad trap because it's pretty common and quite believable. I know, because I struggled with this one myself for years before I eventually conquered it.

The choices we make...

"I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday." --Unknown

Why am I doing this?

When things are tough and you feel like throwing in the towel, it's time to evaluate things again.

Are you having fun?

You should be! Yes, pursuing goals and dreams is hard work. Very hard work at times. But it should also include plenty of joy, satisfaction, and downright fun along the way.

What if you have MANY goals?

Some people have just one big dream, allowing them to focus all of their time and energy on that one goal in life. But many of us have several dreams or goals we'd like to achieve. That's me! If you're holding your hand in the air right now saying, "That's me, too!"... then read on.

You won't always feel like it...

Sometimes I have tons of energy and motivation to hit the gym and get in a good workout. And sometimes I just don't.

The first step is the dream...

Are you really living right now? Or simply just existing in the day to day? The whole idea of waiting until you "retire" to pursue your interests is bogus.

Find a way, not an excuse...

We all have a way of coming up with excuses for why we aren't doing what we could/should be doing, right? We let ourselves off the hook for not putting in the time and work to get to what's really possible. And we do it with the little things, as well as the big things.

Today is a new day ... what will you do with it?

Yesterday -- today -- tomorrow... they all play a special role in our journey to reach our goals in life.
