Camping Season is here

Submitted on May 8, 2013 - 4:10pm

AHHH summer we have finally seen the sun! Snow is gone and I can taste the beer… OOPS! Yes I am human just like all of you and I like to have the odd beverage once in a while. In saying that, I also know how many extra empty calories there are in summer time delights. For instance one regular beer has 120 calories and a fruity tutee has close to 200 calories. If you times that by 4 or 5 you’ve gained 1 lb. Now look at it over the whole summer….. that’s right you now have close to 10 pounds to lose.

Here are mine:

1. The only rule in love is to treat each other like you would like to be treated, don’t expect roses and wine if you aren’t willing to do the same. Love is nothing like in the movies, its hard work and sacrifice.

2. I love being a mother; I wouldn’t change it for anything. It’s the hardest but most fulfilling job in the world. I am the mother of a child with a disability and I am blessed.

No Excuses: Tear Down Those Mental Walls First of all, if you're struggling with a sedentary lifestyle, you're not alone. Most of us are just like you, and we all know we should get moving, but we stumble and fall back into old habits or never get the traction you need. This is completely normal. Don't think anything otherwise. Very few people spring out of bed one day and say "I'm going to change my behaviour for the better for the rest of my life," do it, and never look back.

"I’d like to start an exercise program, but where do I begin?"

Making the personal decision to begin exercise is the first step. Committing to make it a priority in your life is the next.
