As an athlete, I always tell myself I am teetering on the edge: the edge of injury, burnout, exhaustion, over-commitment, stress, anxiety, etc. etc. etc. the list goes on and on and on. We (as athletes and fitness enthusiasts) are very comfortable with a lot on our plate and while some people may struggle with one or two daily tasks, we love to see how much we can handle until we break. Of course, we never expect to break, right?
Really no point in the beginning of this blog post except to continuously remind yourself as to the best balance in your personal life so that every night you go to bed feeling satisfied with the day and excited for tomorrow. Find that right balance between diet and exercise so that your days aren't wasted but rather used with a purpose.
As you reflect on your daily routine, here are a few recent media links of mine, that I would love to share with you. Thanks for reading/watching.
HERE is a recent article I did for 904 magazine. A topic that is heavily discussed and one that can be confusing in today's society due to a number of factors. I hope you enjoy my take on carbo-loading.
Introducing new foods into the diet - maintenance
HERE is a recent TV segment I did for News4Jax on behalf of the Baptist Heartwise program. It's not just about eating certain foods but understanding why they are helpful in your diet.
Creating a positive home environmentHERE is my January article for my monthly column on Irongirl.com. Be sure to check out my tips on creating a positive environment at home to help you reach your goals. And while you are on the site, ladies be sure to check out the event series! Can't wait to see you at some of the events!
Build a better body imageHERE is my last article for my new column with Ironman.com. This was one of my most favorite articles to write as it is a topic that can not be overlooked in the beginning parts of a training season (or New Year). Stay tuned on Ironman.com for my next article on destructive eating. I'll be sure to let you know when it is posted on my Facebook Page.
Lastly, I am really excited to be speaking at the next Hammerhead Triathlon Club meeting on Feb 6th, 2013 which has now become an exciting Trek Bicycle event at Trek Bicycle Store of Jacksonville!!
Trek travel will be presenting about their trips/camps as well as handing out some cool swag! I will be talking about "Breaking out of triathlon boredom - how to train smarter to train harder."
If you are in the area, I'd love to see you there!
Oh and one more thing.....
