A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
- Lao Tzu

Please think about how that applies to your life, and your goals.  In my opinion,  it applies to all aspects of our life, whether it is health and wellness,  career or relationship.  It takes one step at a time.  Consistency is the key.  Let's keep moving, physically, mentally and spiritually.

For anyone who is looking for a better health, but can't seem to quite get there, I'd like to post some questions: What are your worries in pursuit of good health? What is your biggest challenge? What is your biggest fear? I'd love to hear what is real for you.

For a lot of people, struggling with the extra weight is a very emotional and frustrating experience. Often time, it is this very emotion stopping them from moving towards their goals and dreams. We need to explore and acknowledge those emotions first. So let's share them because your are not alone!

IT Band Stretch - More Pressure

This time place the left leg on top of the right so that your feet do not touch the ground at all. Progress to this particular version only after being able to handle the previous position without a problem.

The same principle applies to all muscle stretches using foam rollers.  Please feel free to ask questions or give comments.

Foam Rollers to stretch IT Band

IT band tightness is a common problem.  So I will use this as an example to illustrate how to use the form rollers.

Roll from the pelvis down the outside of the leg. DO NOT roll onto the knee itself. Use your left leg to control the amount of pressure.

Never Count Calories? THINK AGAIN.

1) 1 out of 10 people do NOT know how many calories they need to maintain their weight
2) Most people think they eat less than they actually do (20-50% on average)
3) People who track what they eat at least 5 days a week lose twice as much weight as those who don't
4) People who track what they eat regularly maintain weight loss better

As you can see, tracking has proven to help people manage their weight.  It's essential if your goal is to lose weight.  You can't manage what you don't see or measure - so keep tracking.

We’re all succeeding right now in terms of what is or is not showing up in our life.

How? We’ve successfully placed ourselves/lives exactly where we are in this moment. Wherever you are right now and how you perceive it to be, you’ve succeeded at creating this current reality. 

I would even go further stating that this applies on how you perceive your current and future weight!
