I would like to share some comments with you about a newfound (to me) sport. I was asked if I play golf. Is golf a sport? I wasn’t sure.
My response was that when I want to dig a hole, I use a shovel. I must admit this sparked a lively conversation. When you see the following terms: bogey, birdie, condor, and eagle, what do you think about? At first, I was thinking about wildlife.
It’s finally February, and you may be no closer to getting started on your fitness journey. Maybe you don’t have a plan and you’re frustrated. The best solution is to get back to the basics.
Before you start, you have to decide on how to approach a program to start walking, running, or exercising in general.
Welcome to the New Year! Each year, many of us make resolutions to change something. Do you find that each year it’s the same resolution? What are you thinking of for 2018?
Take a few moments to weigh your options for 2018 and what your fitness goals will be. Your choice of fitness can be walking, running, spinning, or other forms. Take a few minutes to take make a realistic plan which is attainable. Write your plan out and track your progress. Let this be the year you see results.
Remember that health class lesson when they taught you it was acceptable to eat macaroni and cheese day and night like there is no tomorrow? Yeah, me neither. But to me, cheese is its own food group, and it’s the best one!
As it turns out, my cute little cheese- and carb-loving habits were not so helpful to my health.
When my third child was just 6 months old, I already knew I was ready for my fourth, a girl. I just knew. My husband and I started to make plans, gear up, and even began buying her hair bows, her first ballet leotard, and I began my short list of names.

The weather is beginning to break with cooler mornings, which is ideal for walks or runs. In the last column I made reference to getting back to the basics. Where are you with your fitness?
No matter who I speak with, there are a variety of reasons why people exercise and your reason is no different. And no matter what you may read or hear, it’s always best to consult with your doctor first to make sure it’s safe.
Is there a point where you feel that you have to get back to the basics and start all over again? Your fitness program can be interrupted by family, work, injury, and health issues.
The initial reaction is to try to figure out how long you’ll be out of commission. The amount of time will be based upon the situation.
