I Love Furbabies!
I am so excited and thankful that the Jackson Counter Commissioners have approved our Barktoberfest Event for October in Ripley, WV! It will be a great time to raise money to save animals and get together with our local community!

The Exercise Mental Block
We all have times where we simply don't want to exercise. Whether it's from pain, fatigue or even just a little lazy spell, here are a few tips to help you mentally prepare for your next workout:
1. Think About the Benefits!
Always focus on benefits that come with working out. Whether it's losing weight or inches or simply maintaining a healthy lifestyle, write those goals down and always remember them when a workout just doesn't seem to be in the cards. Think about how good you will feel when you're finished and put on those tennis shoes!
2. Be Flexible!
Plan your workouts, but don't let a change in your schedule knock you off-track. Taking a day off can lead to taking more days off, so always try to make sure you fit in some sort of workout, even if it is a modified version of what you had originally planned to do that day. If you're in pain, change it up - use modified exercises OR work out a different area of your body that day.
3. Reward Yourself
Schedule a monthly reward like a massage or a cheat day on your diet when you complete your workout goals. It's a great way to work toward a goal!

Confession!
So...
While I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, I definitely am more structured and strict when I am going to be competing for a pageant.
Well, this has led me to a pretty big realization.
My body has hurt and has had more flares with my RA since I increased carb consumption and stopped working out as much after I competed at Mrs. International.
Is this a coincidence? I don't think so.
This is further proof that a healthy diet and active lifestyle can help you feel better, even if it is pain that makes you feel like you can't get up and get moving.
I'm getting back on track to feeling great.
I hope this inspires you to tighten up your diet and get active!
