Well…not only do I have another brave soul for the “Take Control” campaign for 2013 – I have two…perhaps this is to compensate for the fact I worked overtime with the amazing Kelly last year! The wonderful thing about having these 2 beautiful souls step up – is the fact that they share similar goals and are striving to get in shape before their next beauty pageant…’yes’, a world that focuses on inner beauty – and overall health & FITNESS as well! I started working with Andrea in early Dec., so I’ll post her intro blog first and then provide Marisa’s tomorrow….here we go…..let’s make 2013 a … [Read more...]

Well, well, well, we’re baaaack! After a hiatus of downtime and a holiday (and now staring at yet another) it is without surprise and with great delay that I officially have bid adieu to Ms. Kelly and her amazing 16 week journey earlier this year!

I know I will be completely refocused when I get back. Have a wonderful week! I know I … [Read more...]

Kelly’s Blog – Week 12 Hi everyone! Hope you have had a great week. I have! So, at the beginning of the last blog I told you I met my goal of weighing less than Greg and this week…I still weigh less than Greg. So, what happens when you reach a goal? You need to set a new goal. So, I have been thinking about what my next goal should be and I decided to work on a couple of them. I would like to be able to do 50 pushups in a row on my toes and I would like to have my BMI (Body Mass Index) in the normal range by the end of the year. So, that gives me until about Christmas time to work on these … [Read more...]
