Yes, It Is Hard but You Can Do It
Hello friends, fans, and family, How are you doing today? Are you staying motivated? Are you staying focused on your fitness goals? Yes, it is going to be hard and if you are already working out then you know it is hard to do. It is not easy saying no to your friends, telling a close friend that you don't want to hang out with them because while y'all are hanging out you all consume too much alcohol, unhealthy foods, and/or sweets. Every once and a while is not bad, right? The problem with that is you will put pressure on yourself to hang out with them, "like old times," and that will kill your workout efforts because you can't consume that amount of unhealthy foods and/or alcohol and get to the fitness level that you want. Your real friends will understand and support you in your decision. However, this fitness effort will change your life. So, that is why I say it is a life style change and you may lose some friends in the process because you are trying to get to a better fitness level. Even though this effort has nothing to do with them, they may see it as a personal attack because you are trying to better yourself and because you can't hang out as much. There is nothing wrong with preparation and setting goals for yourself. Do your research and know what exercises to do to get to the fitness level that you want to achieve.

Attempting a Bojutsu Class for the First Time
With starting Jiu Jitsu lately, I had been searching for another sport to try as I love a challenge now. Playing around on Google and Facebook, I was looking for a martial art that I might want to try, and what's offered here in the city. "Bojutsu."

Everyone Can Be 'Fit'
Think about all of the different people you see at your local gym. There are the “bros” with every piece of gear that Jim Stoppani convinced them they need. They have a shaker bottle with some vibrantly colored fluid that they sip on between sets as they scan the gym hoping for one girl admiring their “gains.” Over on the treadmills, you might see some college-aged young lady who is doing some weird exercise that looks like something made up by Tonya Harding. Next to her is your typical middle-aged woman, likely a busy mom, grinding out her hour of cardio. On the bench is a middle-aged man half-repping 185 pounds thinking of his glory days as a 20-year-old football star, somehow ignoring his shoulder and back pain. What do all of these people have in common? They all want to be “fit,” but each has a very different definition of what that means.

Attempting a Jiu Jitsu Class for the First Time
As a kid, I remember wanting to try some sort of martial arts sport whether it was karate, tae kwon do, or Brazilian jiu jitsu. It didn't matter as I thought they were all the same. In case you don't know, they aren't. I was intimidated to ask my parents if I could try it, as I had no idea how much it cost or if they would approve as it was a more "masculine sport" that normally had young boys enroll. Now as an adult, I regret not asking them. Who knows now if I would've gotten involved and what kind of person I'd be today?

Stay Committed to Your Fitness Goals
Hello friends, fans, and family, Here I am once again to show you that it can be done and that you can achieve your fitness goals. Okay, I know that it gets hard to go to the gym every other day, and it is hard to count calories, and it is not always fun to learn about your own body, and it can be boring learning about the best exercises that will give you the results that you are looking for, and want. To try and do something that everyone talks about and few people achieve and maintain is difficult. To defeat the one thing that has defeated so many people aspiring to be better can be intimidating. That one thing is time and your endurance or better yet, endurance over time. You see it is hard enough going to the gym and seeing all the fit people who have been doing it for years and in the best shape of their lives. It is intimidating, to see all these excellent athletes and fitness people working out and having fun.

My First Half-Marathon
I ran my first half-marathon in September 2017. I have always wanted to run one and it was not until my good friend approached me about the topic that I hunkered down and the two of us got to training. Prior to that, I had set out to train a handful of times only to give up when the runs got longer.

Your Fitness Success
It is never easy to try to get in shape and it does not matter if it is a New Year's Resolution or not. Most people fail because they don't properly prepare and/or train. Some people just lose their motivation. There are several reasons why this happens; poor scheduling, unrealistic goals, improper management of time, internal doubt, naysayers, actual failure because of lack of goals and objective setting. All of these can and will make you fail at your attempt at a higher fitness level. In some cases, people think that they can start today and achieve it tomorrow and that is just not realistic.

My Friend Jess: Jessica Roscoe's Tale of Triumph
What if I told you that there was a girl who, through the tumultuous love affair of despair and hope, transformed into an enigmatic treasure trove of a woman? Who inspired ceaselessly, who stunned gracefully, and whose gravitational pull was so strong, people would find themselves lost in the light she radiated. That light would pull them in by the hand as if to guide a friend to a new adventure that would forever be imprinted in their memory.
