Are you PIGGIN' out on STRESS?
Stress creates an increase in the hormone cortisol, and chronic stress creates a chronic increase in cortisol. This is a problem because is slows your metabolism, leads to cravings and is linked to greater levels of abdominal fat storage.
Identify the sources of stress in your life.
True sources of stress aren’t always obvious, and many times they are overshadowed by our own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sure, you may know that you’re constantly worried about work deadlines. But maybe it’s your Procrastination, rather than the actual job demands, that leads to deadline stress. So look closely at your habits, attitude, and excuses in order to find the underlining stress factors.
Find ways to cope with the stress. There are many ways to deal with stress. In our fast paced world we always look for the "quick fix" to a problem but this is the last thing we want to do hen dealing with stress factors because it often leads to unhealthy habits like Smoking, Drinking, Overeating, and in some cases illegal drug use.
If The Way You're Currently Dealing With Stress IS NOT contributing to your health and well-being then its time to find an ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION.
Taking up a New Hobby, Exercise, being actively involved with the community, or just making time to relax and have some fun are great ways to reduce your stress levels.

Have you made progress or did your motivation sizzle out?
As the second month of 2010 comes to a close, where do you stand with your resolutions?
Have you made progress or did your motivation sizzle out?
Most people wait around for motivation to strike them like a lightning bolt. Well, I've got news: motivation isn't something that happens to you - it's something that you create for yourself.
If you don't feel motivated to achieve your goals, it is likely due to mental roadblocks that hold you hostage.
Read the following 21 Mindset Tips and prepare your mind for success.
Success comes first in the mind, so visualize yourself accomplishing your goals.
Remember, you are the only person who can hold you back.
Forgive yourself and love yourself despite past failures.
Decide what is important in your life, and focus on that.
Conquer each negative thought the moment it enters your mind, when it is weakest.
Give up the idea that things won't go right unless you worry about them.
If you bring the body of your dreams to the point of resolve, then you'll soon be living in it.
Look towards your future, if you believe the best is yet to come then it will be.
You become what you think about most.
The margin between success and failure is very small and easily bridged by determination.
Start your day by accomplishing your hardest task first.
Set small attainable goals, rather than one monumental goal.
Convince yourself that exercise is fun, and it will be.
Know your big reason why.
Create a motivating play list of songs to use as the sound track to your workout sessions.
Every decision you make leads you either closer toward achieving your goal, or farther from it.
If you think you're a fat person, then you'll stay fat. If you think you're fit, then you soon will be.
Once you've set your goal, your attitude either pushes you toward accomplishment or failure.
If you don't know exactly where you want to go, you will likely end up someplace else.
You can have the body of your dreams, but first you must give up the belief that you can't.
You can only have two things in life: excuses or results.
If you're sick and tired of making excuses, then contact me today to get started on a results-driven fitness program.
