Another milestone reached...

Well folks, I have crossed a threshold, jumped a hurdle and pretty well done something I never really thought I would......I cracked the 300 lb barrier

What you are probably thinking is this “schnikes, Gord weighs 300 lbs!”

Well, when I started, I weighed 329.8 lbs, to be exact (measured on Ryan's electronic scale, always post workout).

This is a milestone because for the first time in eight years, I am now below the 300 lb mark. Eight years! ...

Gettin' Real- The Fear

Posted by Eilish Ward on Monday, March 29, 2010, In : Gettin' Real

This might sound silly and maybe I am alone in this fear, but for a long time I have held on to the fear of losing weight. Right now you are thinking what is there to fear. Well it’s simple in my mind, for most of my live I have been the “fat” friend, the one girl in the group that was always larger than the rest. I have accepted my role and played it rather well.

The Benefits of Using Yoga for Stress Management: Part I-Breath

Posted by Rina Thibault on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, In : Stress Management

With the hectic upcoming holiday season we are experiencing the effects of stress on our life in mental and physical health. This is reciprocated in an increase of blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Society copes with these daily stresses by ignoring it and letting it dwell within to let it fruit into trees of depression and exhaustion or through medication, and in some cases it causes more harm than good.

Killing the Time Excuse

Getting rid of another "Excuse"

Step One: Schedule Your Workouts: You've heard this before, and it makes so much sense. If you treat your exercise time with the importance of a work meeting then you'd never skip a workout and you'd be in amazing shape.

While the scheduling concept is brilliant in its simplicity, you have to put it into practice to reap the benefits. Pull out your calendar and a pen. Don't laugh, I'm serious! Just do it. If you want to get into shape it starts with committi...
