I’m guilty of this myself, “Not living in the moment.” Why do we do it? Why does it matter? There is a saying, “The reward lies in the journey”. That means losing the weight or crossing the finish line is not what it’s only about. Maybe it’s more about the experience, the love, happiness and excitement you get, and share with those you love, by challenging yourself to be healthy or run marathons.
Alison is working on the worthiest of goals, “Living in the moment”. Elusive, but worth the effort. more »

Most people are afraid of trying something new, especially when it bucks against traditional holiday foods. They usually set themselves up to deprive themselves, then overeat, feel guilty, and possibly ruin a wonderful family holiday. Read how Alison won’t let that happen this Thanksgiving. more »

Keep in mind as you read this, Alison started with 5 minutes of exercise in her bedroom. Now, there’s no limit in sight.
Alison:
“50 yards. All you have to do is swim 50 yards.”
This is the only thought going through my head. No, I haven’t started doing short little sprint races that take about a minute and half. In fact, I’m on the beach at Lake Sebago in Harriman State Park, lined up for my longest race to date. It’s an Olympic distance triathlon, consisting of a 1 mile swim, a 28 mile bike ride and a 6.2 mile run. But all I’m thinking about is swimming 50 yards. more »
