An excerpt from my novel

Two kids, her own personal training studio, and a great body to boot; what more could a woman ask for these days? Well, if you were Amy Morgan, you could ask for something else: a terrific man who would sweep you off of your feet and rescue you from the loneliness of life in L.A. Moving to what she saw as the hub of American wealth and sophistication had been a huge change from her quiet suburban life back in Seattle; and she was not used to all of the changes that her new life had brought. With her school age kids Emma and Brandon to take care of, Amy’s modest goals in life had changed and now she just longed for stability. She was determined that she would meet Mr. Right somewhere in California; and once she did, she’d finally be happy.

Sunday Blues

Start the week off right tomorrow, and try to stay consistent all through the week, even on the weekends. Why waste all of your workouts on weekend bingeing? Instead, try to allow yourself some guilty pleasures without over indulging. You'll feel better on Monday, guaranteed. Happy Monday!

Novel Excerpt

Here is an excerpt from my novel. Tell me what you think! “Oh, I don’t know. Mandy, you’re not listening to me. I went to the doctor’s for a routine visit. My doctor was on vacation, and I was supposed to see her replacement. But listen to this, the replacement had food poisoning and this doctor was the replacement for the replacement! Isn’t that weird? It’s like karma or something,” Amy went on, starting to get carried away. She was starting to regret not agreeing to the coffee in retrospect. What would be the big deal? Sure he’d seen her womanly areas, but lots of men had. Well, not that many, but really, what was the harm in a little coffee? She could really go for a mocha right now. Low fat of course, and no whipped cream.

Music Makes Me Sweat

Music? Yes, it's important. Especially when you're working out. I love listening to up-tempo music when I'm doing cardio, especially if it's early morning. Do you play music when you work out? If not, give it a try and see what a difference it can make. With the availability of MP3's now, it's easier than ever to get the music you love on your player within minutes. Amp up the tunes and start to feel yourself enjoying the work out that much more. For fitness specific music, you can check out : Musclemixes.com Powermusic.com Enjoy the music!

Take the Challenge

What is motivating you these days? Are you tired of feeling like you want something, but just don't know how to get it? Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to tone up? Do you want to look the way you feel inside? If you're lacking motivation, why not try the challenge? Take a 30 day challenge and fire up your motivation, your metabolism, and your energy levels. It could be a yoga, Pilates, eating, cleansing, weight training or anything challenge. Just take the challenge and change your life.
