With Thanksgiving around the corner we get in the habit of "counting our blessings". We take a deep breath to realize our accomplishments thus far. This time can also serve as a chance to look in the mirror at our reflection to ask ourselves the question: "Am I living the life I want to live?" Go ahead ask yourself ...if you paused for a moment or even said a flat out "no" then that may be a sign that deep down you are asking for something more.

Being the avid personal trainer (i.e. cheerleader) for numerous clients throughout the day, I am often asked how I stay motivated from the dieting to the long hours on the cardio machine and the strength and yoga training that I incorporate throughout the week. Well, I try to focus on the big picture and the small ones. There is always the ultimate goal of the big show, the particular weight or size goal but with an understanding that those long term goals take time it is necessary to focus on the smaller goals and accomplishments along the way. This is what keeps me going.
