Feeling Grateful!
It is easy to get bogged down in the challenges of work. For that matter, it is easy to get bogged down with the challenges of life! But I am feeling especially grateful right now for having the privilege to be involved with One on One and all the people associated with it. I had one client tell me after his session this morning that “coming to One on One is the highlight of his day.” Another client who has only been with us for a few months shared that she can “get up out of her chair without any problem.” She said it might not sound like much, but that she is thrilled (as are we!). I took a moment this morning and just enjoyed seeing everyone interact [...]
One on One’s Nutrition Habit Challenge 2011
We have all experienced the challenge of creating new habits even though we may have the best intentions. You know the story, "This year I'm going to lose weight by eating more veggies, exercising more, drinking more water, eating more protein and having the ideal post-workout shake." You are probably also familiar with the common result of such lofty goals... failure. Our habits are a result of the behaviors we practice on a consistent basis. In order to create change for the long-term it is vital to make small sustainable steps. Don't shoot for the moon and beat yourself up when you fail. The key is to set your self up for success by choosing 1 or 2 behaviors and practicing them consistently until they [...]
Accept where you are…or change it!
As fitness professionals for the last 25 years, we have seen spectacular, heartwarming successes. People have literally transformed their lives through intelligent exercise and maintaining good nutrition. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. We have seen many people torture themselves by constantly stating that they “need to eat less” or “need to get to the gym more” or a hundred other things they believe they “should” do. They make themselves truly miserable. Here is what we recommend for our clients at One on One. When you get right down to it, our main motivation for exercising and eating right is to make us happier…to be able to get the most out of life. However, living day in, day out with the frustration of “should haves” is [...]
Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
By Monica Montag, MA, HHP, CN Insulin resistance is caused by the body’s decreased ability to use glucose. What happens is the membrane of our body’s cells actually becomes impermeable. This change occurs when cells that are continually flooded by blood sugar become unresponsive to insulin and cause insulin levels to rise. Over time, the pancreas senses that there is too much insulin and reduces production. If this continues, insulin production is reduced, leading to the familiar form of type II or insulin dependent diabetes. What causes these high elevations of blood sugar? The obvious cause is eating refined carbs (which includes alcohol, high fructose corn syrup, white flour and white sugar products). But did you know that stress also raises blood sugar levels? It [...]
