"HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT FOR THE YEAR?"

November 15, 2024 “Have you Checked out for the YEAR?” It’s the 4 th Quarter and time to rally, to kick things into high gear. In the last quarter of any game, you go harder to score and make crucial decisions in order to secure a victory in the end. A good team will execute a game winning drive and push through with no excuses and finish strong. However, when it comes to our health and fitness, we check out during this time of the year with a myriad of excuses. · It’s getting cold outside · It’s getting darker earlier · Cuffing season · Holiday gatherings/parties · Holiday distractions ....

“Are you ready for some WEIGHT LOSS?”

November 7, 2024 “Are you ready for some WEIGHT LOSS?” Football positions can be metaphorically related to different aspects of a weight loss journey, emphasizing the diverse strategies and approaches one might take for the player’s position. Here’s how some positions might correspond to weight loss concepts/strategies: 1. Quarterback - Just as a quarterback sees the big picture, orchestrates the play on the field, and makes quick decisions. A person focused on weight loss needs to see the big picture (what is the main goal) and then plan and strategize their meals and workouts to accomplish the win. ....

FINDING NORMAL

November 1, 2024 “Finding Normal” When people talk about "normalizing" something in 2024, it's often with a positive slant. On social media and off, I've seen calls to normalize everything from postpartum bodiesto having mental health conversations at work. The idea, of course, is to break down taboos that can be unhelpful, even dangerous. But there's another kind of normalization, and it's one that many people are far less aware of. It is less conscious, more pernicious and can be harmful. This is the normalization of trends, situations and events that really shouldn't be "normal" at all. You also might hear it referred to as "desensitization", or ....

Spice Up Your LIfe

October 26, 2024 “Spice Up Your Life!” Spices and condiments have been adding flavor to people’s lives for hundreds of years. Spices and condiments are used to add color and heighten the taste and aroma of food. But spices and condiments also have therapeutic properties, protecting and possibly alleviating symptoms from acute and chronic ailments and aiding in weight loss. You should shake up your meals with the big bold flavors of slimming condiments and weight loss and metabolism boosting spices. In this second week of bootcamp as I’ve been going through our clients’ meal plan booklets many become puzzled why I ask them what condiments ....

"The great white HOPE!"

October 18, 2024 "The great white HOPE!" In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month...Today I celebrate one of favorite clients of all times…whom I affectionately call…” White girl Sherry.” I met Sherry when I was over the ER, and she was in the ultrasound department. One of Sherry’s jobs was to come and get patients from the ER for their procedures via wheelchair or stretcher. Sherry’s COPD, other diagnosis and just being out of shape often prevented her from getting it done. The staff often complained that she couldn’t do her job and wanted her fired. When Dana suggested Sherry join the bootcamp this ....

Thank God for HUMBLE Beginnings!

October 1, 2024 “Thank God for Humble Beginnings” As we celebrate 16 amazing years of Tadda’s Fitness, I took some time to reflect on my past, present and future. My Past - from humble beginnings... Who knew, as a child in the 70's whose father was killed when she was two and being raised by a single mother of four kids, what my life story would hold? Who knew when I moved to Atlanta in 2001what lay ahead? When I started TFC in 2008, where it would lead? Looking back over the years I am grateful for this life I have led, for the people I've met along the way and for the world of learning that has helped me shape my future. ....

“Inhale Confidence, Exhale Comfort”

September 21, 2024 “Inhale Confidence, Exhale Comfort” Last week we launched another addition to Tadda’s Fitness Center to enhance our wellness. And since our 2-day launch, I have been receiving raving testimonials. One, for example, was a client who left out of a fitness class complaining of her asthma acting up. She went to get her inhaler however it was out. She went to get her backup inhaler, and it was also out as well. Now, as the client was getting more anxious one of my front desk staff, Marica suggested she try the oxygen bar and within 5 minutes of being on the lavender oxygen therapy the client felt immediate relief. The treatment was so beneficial she ....

You can’t lie your way to greatness!

You can’t lie your way to greatness! You can lie to everyone about your fitness level, but your body knows the truth, and it shows. I often write about how stressful midpoint and end-of-camp weigh-ins can be for me. Many of my clients are honest about how they got to their current health status, but some live in delusion. They believe their own lies because they’ve told them so often. Their self-perception is often skewed. They look in the mirror and see only what they want to see. They think ignoring their weak points will make them disappear, or they don’t see any weak points at all and Lord knows we all have them. They forget about the late-night ....
