Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

We are smack dab in the middle of “Swimsuit Season.” The weather is hot and the natural instinct is to shed clothing in an effort to cool down. Being able to wear tank tops and shorts without cringing in public is not just a luxury reserved for the slender. Getting comfortable with your body now will actually help you get to your ideal weight.

This week, I’m posting entries about body image and how it can affect us.

Just in case you didn’t notice, we added a new category called Inner Workouts. The Motivation category is for those times when you feel like quitting, but the Inner Workouts category is for changing your mind.

Half the battle of weight loss is in your head. Little things that you say to yourself can undermine you far more than any dessert or sabatoging cohort. Beating yourself up for slips, berating your body, and weighing yourself every day are all habits that can undermine any diet or exercise routine.

This week is Inner Workouts Week. All of our posts will pertain to getting your head in the right spot to get to your ideal weight.

We have just added a new category to the site: Motivation. If you are feeling low and wanting to cheat or skip your workout, try this category of posts.
