Let's Get it Started

| Member Comments (4) Added Dec 11, 2009

I've decided not to post my daily fitness routine/progress today. I realized that people could care less to know how fit I am and could possibly feel intimidated by it. So I figured that I'd try conforming to the idea of sharing; instead of seeming as if I "know it all" (which I don't by the way). Thus I've concluded that being fit in your body actually can contribute to being fit in your mind; and truthfully it is. Not only in part, but on a whole. Here, I'll say this and I'm done. While I know this is not a blogspot, I'll be brief. Sound principle says that the results that we seek are not just for looking and feeling better, but for better performance - maybe a sense of accomplishment even. If so, why do we push to succeed on the job and in school, to be a better wife, mother, etc. and then come to this screeching ABRUBPT HALT when it comes to our health? Can I ask you that question? If you answered honestly, please answer this while you're at it. Can't we at least try to live triumphantly and allow ourselves to take a closer look at how we treat ourselves from the inside out and actually love ourselves enough to DO something about it? Is that what we're doing when we find ourselves washing, cooking, cleaning, shopping, cursing and nursing the day away until there's no day left? Yes, I believe we can. So I'm getting started right now! What's YOUR solution?

	By Amy L, Jan 08, 2010 I too want to get started. I was motivated by this as it has a lot of good points and reminders. Good balanced nutrition and exercise are literally a panacea for many ills, from behavioural like ADHD and Autism, to physical - arthritis, lack of energy, migraines to chemical, anxiety, depression, etc. I am one who DOES get caught up in the day to day of being a mom, telling myself I'm too tired but deep down, I know that a regular regime of exercise will give me more energy to conquer daily tasks with less obstacles like migraines to stand in my way. Thank you for this!

	By Marisa Cleare, Jan 11, 2010 MY PLEASURE AMY. I TOO AM LIVING THAT LIFE. I'M NOT RICH AND I DON''T HAVE A PERSONAL CHEF OR A PERSONAL TRAINER, BUT I AM ONE AND I'M HERE TO HELP YOU AS WELL AS MYSELF. I'M NOT PERFECT NOR TRY TO BE. I DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS BUT WHAT I DO HAVE IS SENSE ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT I'M NOT ALONE. I WROTE THE ARTICLE TO DRIVE THE SUBJECT STRAIGHT HOME; TO THE WOMEN. I'VE INVITED ALL OF YOU TO ASSIST ME IN THIS FORUM TO GET ACQUAINTED, REALLY FAMILIAR WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US AS WE AGE AND OBLIGE OURSELVES TO OUR FAMILIES, FRIENDSHIPS, FIANCES, HUSBANDS, JOBS, CHILDREN..THE LIST GOES ON. WE SACRIFICE OUR TIME FOR THOSE WE LOVE AND TO MAKE A LIVING. YET OUR HEALTH SUFFERS AND IT'S SHOWING UP. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUR HIPS WIDEN AND HEALTH ISSUES BEAT US INTO SUBMISSION? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR HORMONES CHANGED BECAUSE YOUR OVER 40? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T LISTEN TO THAT STILL SMALL VOICE THAT SAYS "WHAT ABOUT ME"? I'M OVER 40 AND A REALIST AND THE SECRET TO MY SUCCESS IS THIS -REINFORCEMENT! WE ALL NEED SOMEONE IN OUR CORNER. A MENTOR, A FRIEND. AM I RIGHT? I NEED YOU TO HELP ME TO HELP YOU. I'M MAKING AN APPEAL TO ALL WHO ARE STRONG ENOUGH AND WISE ENOUGH TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK UP & HAVE A VOICE. LET'S TALK AND HELP ONE ANOTHER. CONTINUE TO UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS, COMMENTS, QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS AT CLEARECUT FITNESS & BODYWORKS VIA FACEBOOK. WE ARE A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY OF WELLNESS. SEPARATE AND ASIDE FROM THAT, I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE MIGRAINE HEADACHES, YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR PHYSICIAN AND GET SOME ANSWERS. ONCE YOU GET AN "ALL CLEAR", YOU SHOULD START OFF WITH SHORT WALKS WITH A FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR. MAYBE YOU CAN TAKE YOUR CHILD TO THE PARK OR AN INDOOR CHILD FRIENDLY FACILITY. TRY TO STAY MOTIVATED AND KEEP MOVING. ANY STEP FORWARD IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION. YOUR FEEDBACK IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. IN HEALTH & STRENGTH, MARISA CLEARE
	By Amy L, Jan 11, 2010 I was diagnosed with migraines but then last time I went the doc thought I had cushings and the headaches were related - he said I had all the classic signs but the endo he sent me too said I was just getting old (I will be forty in April).
	By Marisa Cleare, Jan 11, 2010 Wow, Dr.s have really lost their "bed-side manner". Perhaps that would have something to do with the health care/insurance crisis. On the other hand however, I do know that yes, our hormones do change as we age but that's not necessarily the reason for migraines. Since the migraines seem to persist, I would get another opinion. There's nothing wrong with that. You need to be your own health advocate and cover all the bases. You have a small child and I'm sure you would like to take every precaution to assure that you are able to enjoy every moment that you can with him. I wish you well Amy and hope that you are able to get the answers to remedy the situation and live comfortably. In Health & Strength, Marisa Cleare
