If you are like me, then you love inspiring, challenging, motivating, or even giving tough-love when it's needed.
It is amazing how the words of others can really rock your world by resonating with your heart.
You will see in the comments my son said to me today..!
~Papi, don't you think it's about time to get back on track. I thought you said you were going to be healthy and help us get healthier with you. I don't want to see my old Papi, who was not happy and not feeling good. I love who you have become and I want you to stay that way...
do you want me to warm your Jenny Craig meal up for you ~
Wow, talk about stopping me dead in my tracks...!
Powerful how words can really light someone up from the inside out, challenging them, inspiring them, motivating them to make a difference.
Openly sharing my experiences is a huge part of this blog and the readership I keep with "Skinny Vinny"
I Took a 30min walk this evening with my kids!
My Bday weekend along with Thanksgiving is over and time to get back on track!!!
I hope my sharing helps you as much as sharing helps me..!
I wish you all a wonderful week!!
Much more to come ~V~

You will be surprised at how positive your attitude will be if you spend time with people who really enjoy their life.
Hello There,
Diet and exercise may not be the only answer, our MIND may have a lot to do with it, I would even venture to say that it plays the biggest part.
(For sure with me)
The way we see ourselves and feel about our bodies is often the result of years of negative conditioning and contrary messages from the people around us and the media.
Open any magazine and you will see stick thin actresses or a rock body actor and then a caption mentioning their cellulite!! It’s everywhere on everything!
Excuse me but what is the message here?
We should all look sick and undernourished? “NOT”!!!
I don't know about you, I do feel better when I loose weight and it helps when my fitness and health improve too. Yeah Baby!
I want this lens to contain all the tips and ideas I found in my own weight loss journey.
I am giving you many tips I have learned on my own journey to a healthy weight.
~I need to remind myself~
I cannot claim to be 100% there, oh well; I am far from it still!
I went up 5 lbs from Vacation!!
I own it, it's mine!! I’m now down 2 lbs of those 5 pounds!
It's time to Re-assess my goals and turn the heat up!
If you are losing motivation, maybe your goals were too easy or too hard.
Don't do anything that you don't like!
You will have a greater chance of continuing to exercise if you find it enjoyable so if you don't like to run, do sit-ups, or swim, keep it fun, something you like.
Trust me, I don't think I will ever love exercise! But I have started to like it!
Ok-Maybe just a little!
Find the right location!
It is always more enjoyable to exercise in a nice environment so take a visit to a local beach/lake or park.
Reflect on your exercise history!
When you last enjoyed exercise, how did it feel?
~If your anything like me, your answer is never~
Don't watch the clock!
If you continually watch the time, then don't wear a watch.
If you are at a fitness centre, cover the display on the machine.
Spend the time with a friend!
Take your dog with you. (On a walk that is)
He/she will always be keen and it will help to keep him/her healthy as well.
Eat well!
Stay on "Jenny" she can give you more energy and increase your motivation to exercise.
Use intervals!
Break your training up over the day.
Do half in the morning and half in the evening.
Mix up the cardiovascular and weights!
Do 5-10 minutes of cardio, then 5 minutes of weights, then repeat.
Try a new form of training!
The methods of exercising are endless.
Try something that you think might be interesting (eg, Pump, Boot Camp, Pilates, Surfing, Rollerblading, etc)
Exercise with your kids!
Spend time with the family as you all get healthy.
Invest in your future!
Surround yourself with positive people!
You will be surprised at how positive your attitude will be if you spend time with people who really enjoy their life.
Use your workouts as "zone-out" time!
One step at a time!
Think of every rep, set, metre, or workout you do as being one step closer to your goals.
Change your surroundings!
If you always train indoors, then start exercising 1 day per week outside.
Challenge yourself!
Move out of your comfort zone.
Do something that will challenge you physically and mentally.
Variety is the spice of life!
Compete with a friend!
(Rock on Tony 5k here we come)
See which one of you can attend the most sessions, run the fastest lap, or reach their goals the fastest.
The competition will keep you both focused.
Set a plan! Fail to plan, Plan to fail!
Write down what you want to achieve, then how you will achieve it.
Ensure that it is realistic and attainable.
Time to get back in the game!!
Not just to play, but win!!
My win is hanging out with
"Skinny Vinny"!!
I’m feeling it!!! YES!!!!! Feel it with me!!!!!!!
~Much more to come~ V
