Make Yourself a Priority
Oh I regret working out. Said no one, ever. I run a FitCamp and often at the end of a workout one of my beloved attendees will tell me they didn’t want to come for whatever life reason they had. Then they often add how happy they were they came. Not once did anyone...
The word DIET
Long long ago the word diet referred to what your dietary intake consisted of. Now it pertains primarily to what you limit your intake to. So when people ask me about what I think of ‘this diet’ or ‘that diet’ I often ask why they want to consider it and for how long...
