Recently, a client of mine sprained her ankle and was told that she had pretty serious damage from the sprain and from earlier injuries to the same area. Her doctor put her on crutches for a month and told her the only way she could go to work was if her boss would let her do everything seated with her foot up.

If each of us truly understood all the ins and outs of our bodies and what the different parts need to do and have for health, our brains would probably implode from all the information.

Anyone can benefit from ballet training. Many athletes (yes, football and basketball players) take ballet! You better believe they have many advantages over the athletes who don’t!

Welcome to Wellness Wednesday! We are continuing the series on Self-renewal today. Committing to achieving a better you in 2010 is in itself a "powerful health booster."

Do you ever feel like you are more healthy in one area of your life than you've ever been, and yet, another area is in the gutter? I'm kind of there right now. Let me explain.

The weeks are really flying by here! Overall, I feel good about my progress with my self-induced program- a personal trainer would be nice, though. I think I'd be more inclined to go further with my fitness level; lunges are just no fun unless someone is standing over you barking, "One more, you can do one more, you lazy cow!

WellnessWednesday It is a well known fact that we are influenced by whom we hang around, live with, and even whom we share our time …

Oh, crap...this thing is halfway over! And, I wish I could say that I'd reached all of my mid-point goals - not so much, but I haven't given up. At least the challenge has prodded me to move closer to them. I did have a small epiphany this week though. While at my chiropractor's office, I had to use the restroom and noticed a framed quote on a table across from the toilet.

In the overall picture of my health challenge, this week wasn't so bad; in terms of the short seven day period, it sucked. It was one laced with a horrible head cold and that same old PMS thing that kept me bloated and grumpy last month. The cold at least kept me popping my extra vitamin C, D, B, and drinking a deluge of liquids. I was reminded of how dry my throat was about every 15 minutes during the night from the inability to breathe through my nose.

I'd love to say that this challenge has been easy for me. But I'd be lying. So, when women say that fitness, eating right, and doing all those other healthy things take a back seat to caring for their babies/toddlers, just believe them.

Well, ladies, I managed to drop the water weight I gained last week and even a couple of extra pounds, making the total loss so far in my health challenge 2.5 lbs. I set a goal of losing a total of 10 pounds, so I'm excited that I'm a quarter of the way there.

Are you wife of.., and mum of…, and are you spending your days in jeans and t-shirt behind the computer at home? Can you pass a construction site without anyone eying you or commenting on you anymore? Do you find your make up dried out in the back of a drawer? Then it is time to get your sexy back.

If you read last Saturday's post, you know that I challenged myself and anyone out there to take the next 90 days to improve their state of health. I am taking things slowly and working on only a couple of things a week so I don't get overwhelmed and give up.

This week has been one of self-evaluation for me. I attended two health/anti-aging seminars that absolutely shattered my delusional mind-set that I was actually healthy. It's like the denial that comes when you know that you've gained weight but think if you don't get on the scale it won't be true. Well, I was doing that with my state of health.

I’m sure we’ve all heard that phrase at one time or another, but may not have associated it with the scheme of our overall health. The connection that’s being made is referring to our immune system, and this remarkable network determines what state of health we’re in at the present and what we’re setting the stage for in the near future.
