 Happy "Thankful Thursday"! It has been quite some time since my last Thankful Thursday post, my apologizes! Today I want to express how truly THANKFUL and BLESSED I am to have the CHOICE to live a Fit & Healthy lifestyle. As I always say, "Fitness & Health are a Lifestyle". The beauty of life is that each morning we wake, we have a choice! The choice to Give Up, Give In or Give it ALL you got when it comes to making healthy choices in your daily life. I personally choose to set my alarm an hour earlier to make sure I get my workout in for the day. I set aside time to prepare healthy meals. I choose to pass up a night of drinking on the town. I choose to maintain a healthy diet, while enjoying my "Sweet Indulges" in moderation. I choose to be Fit, Toned & HAPPY! So remember, it is your personal to CHOICE to live a healthier lifestyle! Quick Tip ~ Add Exercise to your Habits ~ It takes 21-30 days to adopt a new habit.If you would like to share your own fitness success story for "Thankful Thursdays", please email me at jennifer@getfitsd.com. I would love to feature you! Also, please share what you are THANKFUL for today below.
Fitness and Fashion are my Passion! I was recently invited to attend an Indoor Cycling Class inside Neiman Marcus at Fashion Valley Mall (organized by On Demand Workout), led by Corey Spangler, Owner of The Rush Indoor Cycling Studio located in Birdrock. How could I possibly turn down the opportunity to do an hour of intense cardio while looking at the latest Fitness Fashion Trends?! Hello comfortable, stylish clothes! Neiman Marcus recently launched their NEW Active Wear Department " NM On-the-Go" featuring some of the top designer active wear brands. The collections featured in the new NM On-the-Go are selective, seasonal, trendy, comfortable and surprisingly affordable. Yes....I was capable of participating in the fabulous spin class while browsing the racks with my eye! The event was a blast from the fabulous class from The Rush (my favorite place to get my weekly cardio) to the mimosa I was handed at the end of my workout, which I had to pass on. Ladies, next time you are at Fashion Valley Mall I encourage you to take a peek inside Neiman Marcus! Lastly, I STRONGLY recommend each and everyone of you take an Indoor Cycling Class at The Rush!

 "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." ~ Mahatma Gandhi Happy "Thankful Thursday"! Will Power is something that comes from within us. Will Power is definitely something we can control when it comes to our eating habits as well as our dedication and motivation to fitness. As with everything in life, the key is moderation, especially when it comes to food intake. Having the Will Power to pass up that cupcake your co-worker brought to work or that Sunday Night pizza you ordered for the kids plays a KEY role in weight management and overall health. Will Power also plays a KEY role in NOT hitting the snooze button on the alarm in the morning and getting out of bed to get that morning workout in. I challenge you to record ALL your food intake and to log your physical activity for a week. You will be surprised at your accomplishments! If you would like to share your own fitness success story for "Thankful Thursdays", please email me at jennifer@getfitsd.com. I would love to feature you! Also, please share what you are THANKFUL for today below.
