When one door closes, another one opens....

...or so they say!  I am sure I have said this before, but this business is ever changing.  There are highs, there are lows, but at the end of the day I have a wonderful fiance who supports me (do I get brownie points for that plug?).  On a daily basis I am seeking new opportunities to grow my business - diversify - make my name known - but what is the best medium?  This remains to be seen. 
One of my best clients had to cancel her services with me (*sadness*) and so I am looking for ways to find more clients like her.  I have a great client base, but I want MORE!  So I will continue on my quest for cheap advertising, word of mouth, and referrals.  I know I have a great product, I just need to get it out there!
So to add more value to my blog - Next Skipping Class is tomorrow!!!  Drop in! 6am!  Be there!

lol - have a great day everyone - market yourself and the rewards will be endless....

After a long day...

Sometimes it is hard....no pretty much always it is hard to motivate yourself after a long day.  This can even follow into the next day.  You pull a 12 hr day, go home, eat, sleep and wake up feeling like you needed another 10 hrs of sleep.  You know that feeling?  It is a struggle to think about a workout much less do one.  WELL, even if you do a mild workout it is so important to keep up your consistency.  Go for a shorter jog, do 30 min instead of an hour - JUST DO IT THOUGH!  We work so hard to see results, don't let them vanish because you cannot tear yourself away from the couch!

Booze and Training

This is a great article on drinking and training (not at the same time!).  I believe that some people need to 'just say no' to alcohol when they are hard core training and trying to reach a goal.  On the other hand I don't freak at clients who have a glass of wine (or two) at a social function.  I freak when they show up and I can smell the booze coming out of their pores and they have a serious goal they are trying to attain.... you are working against yourself!

Check the article out - it is realistic, which is why I like it....

The holidays have begun - NO SWEATPANTS ALLOWED!

LOL - I have been reading peoples posts on Fb and most of them involve sweatpants and long stints on the couch.  Bad, Bad!  Make a pre-Christmas resolution to not need the sweatpants and to walk after a larger meal.  Also, lets focus on the veggies, and not going for seconds.  I know I am the bearer of bad news, but if we don't make these promises now, your pants wont fit in the New Year!  Make wise choices and stay active even when the sun sets early....

Sunshine and Core....

New ab client today!!  Love abs and core.... some of my favorites to work out! 

Tip for the day:
No matter how many crunches you do you will not get that 6 pack if you do not lose the fat that is covering them!  Proper diet and exercise is the only way to get that fat GONE for GOOD!  So keep doing proper ab exercises, but be sure to put the pastries away for the time being....they are the enemy!!

Running for the Cure....

Hello all!  Tomorrow is the CIBC Run for the Cure!  I have been running for 13 years now.... 13 years!!!  I can't believe that much time has passed since my Auntie Norma passed away.  But every year I strap on my runners and give it my all.  I hope you all come out and support such a good cause.

Enjoy your weekend with your loved ones, I will be doing the same.
