Fitness Training News

Last days of 2007
We have had 30 inches of snow this December and 45 inches last year. I think our totals, here at the house, are a little higher. Those are great totals. Not that I love shoveling all of the time, but it is so good for the ground, the plants, the grass, the streams and the front Range. It's also good for knocking off calories.

Yup. I've been eating my fair share of sweets. People think I have this great will power. Nope, I'll eat junk food, if it's in the house.

So now as the year ends, and I can workout again, I need to start stepping up to what I teach. Good eating, good fitness and good health.

I'm about to head out and take our Girls for a hike. Just an hour near the house but it's beautiful out with the snow on the ground and in the trees.

It's about 18 degrees so I'll have to suit the Girls up in two coats each and maybe even paw booties. Can't let them get too cold.

It's a good weekend to reflect on what is really important in life. It's been a good year of finding out more about myself. How I feel about life, fitness, friends, and family.

My greatest loss this year is the disappearance of my close friend, Clay. I know his own family and friends are feeling the loss more than ever. Clay touched my heart and mind in so many ways. Our conversations forced me to think out of my own little world. To get off my butt and do more things than I would had we not had the talks. Thank you Clay for continuing to push me to learn more and more.

I learned a lot about my health. Not only my own health but that of some very close friends. I learned that life is too short and that I/we should not forget to live for today. Tomorrow does not always come.

So remember that New Year's resolutions are good but reflection on what we can learn from the past, may be more eye-opening. Here's to more learning, more friendships, more love, and more knowledge.

Happy New Year. # posted by Michelle Grainger @ 12:01 PM 0 Comments

Back in the saddle, again.
OK. A photo of the Girls is not quite a photo of me, back in the saddle. But I'm not showing a photo of me on a trainer in my office. I am however so excited, after 7 weeks, to be back on my bike. Injuries suck and getting back to a fitness way of life is awesome.

I have been hiking with my Girls for about an hour to just over an hour. I've been doing that for about a week. I just started back riding and it's great. As soon as I reach and hour, I'll head outside. That is, if the weather and temperature are good. In the gym, I'm back on machines.

It's a slow start but anything is better than nothing. That's what I tell my clients. Just get out and do something. even if it's ahlaf hour, do something. # posted by Michelle Grainger @ 2:45 PM 0 Comments

Lots' O Snow
Well, finally it's been dumping snow like a winter wonderland. I think it all looks like gum drops. Ready to fall off the trees and into my mouth.

Every ski area has lots of snow and that's a great thing. Even great for the x racers today, in Lyons.
Even the Girls had fun today.



Still no word on my good friend, Clay. There was one more big search before winter sets in. There will be more in the spring. My heart just really aches and it's hard to imagine what in the heck happened to him. Every day I think about him and remember his help with anything I needed him for.

Did a lot over the weekend on the business side of my life. Finished up ceus, sent in my license fees and registrations, bought many business related books from Amazon, and bunches of office stuff like that. Hate how working for yourself can have so much little annoying little detail stuff. Oh well, I like it just the same.

End of this week, I may be back into my own little world of fitness. Can't wait. So many new things to write about. So much catching up to do. Yikes, that's gonna be weird. But great! # posted by Michelle Grainger @ 12:25 AM 0 Comments
