My Transformation During a Global Pandemic

My Transformation During a Global Pandemic A Year I Will Never Forget By Maria Valley “You will never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.” – Cayla Mills HOW DID I GET HERE? From a young age, my weight was constantly fluctuating up and down. I’d find a diet/fitness program, follow it to the tee, and lose some weight, but every time without fail, I would gain the weight back again because I didn’t commit to a lifestyle change. I didn’t have a plan or the proper support, guidance, and accountability to lose the weight and keep it off. I would let whatever was going on in my life at the ....

Don't Watch Your Weight

We have all been here before. The end of the year marks the beginning of new opportunities, goals, and resolutions. Health, fitness, and weight loss are at the top of many people ’ s list. Inevitably, most of us hit the gym hard to get in shape and lose the weight we gained over the holiday season. Eventually, we step on the dusty scale that has been pushed to the back corner of our bathroom to see what progress we have made. We deem our success based on the number that is revealed as though this is the only deciding factor in how far we have come. But our weight is only one small piece of the puzzle. So many other things factor into our progress than the number ....

Should I Be Concerned About Losing Weight Or Losing Fat?

If you’re looking to join a new gym or fitness program in Stillwater, there’s a good chance that one of your main goals is to lose weight. But what does losing weight really involve? Is there a differentiation between losing weight and losing fat? Weight loss is different from fat loss. It’s important to know the difference to help you achieve your goals. And keep them. Weight Loss Your body’s total weight includes bones, organs, muscles, fat and water.

4 Tips For Returning To Your Healthy Habits At The Gym And At Home

Picture this: You hit the snooze button, skip your morning workout at the gym in Stillwater, get the kids prepped for the day, and run to the office (or your work-from-home room), getting breakfast and a coffee at the drive-through.

How to Work on Self-Care During Unpredictable Times

There’s more to your well-being than just working out and eating healthy meals. Taking a thorough idea of your health— nourishing your mind, body, and soul—is vital for your overall health. We like to describe this as self-care. Here are a few of our favorite ways to practice self-care.

Keep it cheerful and tell each other one good thing that happened to you recently. Brainstorm plans for when you can meet again and how comforting it will be to give them a big, warm hug. Together ....
