Committed to a healthy lifestyle, I now have more energy, patience,  focus, happiness, strength, coordination, flexibility and more.  \u00a0 I  never thought food and exercise could have such a profound effect on my  body and mind. The benefits exceed all my expectations, and now eating  right and exercising are essential for my well-being. \u00a0 My  accomplishments were attained through daily dedication, planning, smart  eating, lots of sweat, and patience for results. \u00a0 It wasn&#8217;t easy, but it  sure is worth it! I&#8217;ve found what works, and I&#8217;m now dedicated to  sharing with people first hand how nutrition and fitness greatly improve  many areas of your life!<\/p>\n<p>Everyone would like to feel and look great, but an inner desire and  commitment is needed. What&#8217;s your motivation for getting and staying  fit? Having a long-term goal with a purpose for working out and eating  healthy will help you commit.  \u00a0Losing weight is a common goal many  people have in mind when they begin a lifestyle change. However,  considering all the benefits of exercise such as improved health,  increased happiness, \u00a0 and living a better life will keep you going. \u00a0 I&#8217;m  motivated by the ability to enjoy a happier, less-stressed life with  more energy, and better abled to take on physical and emotional  challenges. I love keeping up with my kids and their activities, and  being an active role model. \u00a0 When I changed my diet and exercise  routine, the difference in my activity level, \u00a0 my increased energy and  mood were well noticeable. My children often comment on how much more  fun and happy I am now! That makes it all worth the effort. My family  and I go out for long bike rides, walks that sometimes turn into races,  play basketball, baseball, do yoga, workout to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beachbodycoach.com\/fitwithmolly\">home fitness programs<\/a>, kickbox, \u00a0 and dance. \u00a0 No need for much rest anymore&#8230;I&#8217;m up for any challenge. When you do more, you get more out of life!<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining a solid regular workout program with a set time is routine  in our house. We schedule our fitness time including strength,  flexibility and cardio training 4-5 mornings a week. \u00a0 Our favorite home  fitness programs are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beachbodycoach.com\/fitwithmolly\">Beachbody&#8217;s<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/P90X?referringRepId=46500\">P90X<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/TurboFire?referringRepID=46500\">TurboFire<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/RevAbs?referringRepId=46500\">RevAbs<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/BRAZILBUTTLIFT?referringRepId=46500\"> Brazil Butt Lift <\/a>and coming soon,<a href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/Insanity?referringRepId=46500\"> Insanity<\/a>. Knowing that age causes us to start losing muscle mass and bone density, my husband and I are doing our best to fight back.<\/p>\n<p>My daily &#8220;must haves&#8221; help in keeping my body healthy. I consume lots of  water throughout the day and don&#8217;t drink soda, even diet. Applying  moisturizer, lip balm and sunscreen nourishes my skin, along with my  favorite daily supplement, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shakeology.com\/fitwithmolly\">Shakeology<\/a>. \u00a0 Drinking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shakeology.com\/fitwithmolly\">Shakeology<\/a> regularly greatly contributes to our health containing 70 whole food  superior nutrients such as fruits, vegetables, fiber, protein, omega 3s,  digestive enzymes, probiotics, phytonutrients, antioxidants and much  more. Post workout, I drink <a href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/P90XRRFTub?referringRepId=46500\">P90X Results and Recovery Formula <\/a>to help replenish nutrients lost, reduce muscle soreness and assist in repairing and building lean muscle.<\/p>\n<p>Being mindful to what my body needs is essential. Some days after many  high intense workouts, I&#8217;ll treat myself to a long yoga workout and feel  rejuvenated and re-energized when I&#8217;m finished. \u00a0 Getting enough sleep  is very important, and sleep needs and patterns often change as we age.   \u00a0I&#8217;ll try my best to maintain the same bedtime and wakeup time making  sure the room is cool and dark, and limit caffeine consumption,  especially from late afternoon into evening. Many times, we don&#8217;t  produce enough melatonin at an older age. \u00a0 Taking the all natural herb  melatonin helps me relax before bed, and I&#8217;ve also found the more active  I am during the day, the easier it is for me to sleep at night. Often  times, when our bodies our dehydrated or have a lack of sleep, we have  more hunger cravings.  \u00a0When this happens, I try to drink a glass of  water and catch up on needed rest.<\/p>\n<p>Embrace the body you&#8217;ve been given, take care of it, and it will love  you back! You&#8217;re never too old to get in shape and feel great. Exercise  and good nutrition will help retain your youthfulness! I&#8217;m thrilled with  how I feel and my fitness level at the age of 41. Eat smart including 5  small meals each day, maintain a positive mental attitude, find  effective fitness activities you enjoy, have patience, commit, don&#8217;t  give up, focus on your goals and get it done! Be the best YOU possible,  and you will improve in so many ways one day at a time. \u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beachbodycoach.com\/fitwithmolly\">www.beachbodycoach.com\/fitwithmolly<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fitnesswithmolly.blogspot.com\">www.fitnesswithmolly.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px;
