Greetings,

My name is Lauren. I am involved with an amazing project of fitness, goodwill and charity fundraising called Boot Camps With a Purpose Worldwide. If you are not familiar with this movement here’s what we are doing:

Locations around the globe, fitness professionals and enthusiasts, are giving workouts, charging a reasonable rate and donating all the money to the charity they choose. We are all listed on the website, http://www.BCWAP.org. We work together along with the headquarters in Philadelphia, PA, U.S.A. to market events both locally and internationally.

Please contact me if you would like more information, would like to be considered as an official BCWAP location or get involved in some way.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Yours in fitness,

Lauren Loper

Ah, the infamous New Year's Resolution.  Do you have one?  Is it attainable?  How are you going to put it into action? 

You know you best.  With me, I need accountability.  I tell a close friend or two what my NY Resolution is and I tell them how I came to choosing it and how I think I'm going to achieve it.  Then I tell them I'm going to keep them updated with how it's coming along.

My walk with Jesus compels me to different NY Resolutions - ones that affect everyone around me.  Those have been so incredible to me - in that I asked God what my NY Resolution should be and that He told me!   It struck my heart and head so that I was just amazed.  And the great thing about my faith is that I know that I don't have to do it all on my own - if I did, it would be like all my other NY Resolutions - UN-resolved!  But reading His word and His promises, and walking out His commands and obeying and trusting, my Resolution is RESOLVED!

There is so much media thrown at us daily for diet and weightloss and exercise sometimes it makes you dizzy!  I found the following article to sum everything up in regards to eating, or related to your diet (and not necessarily dieting). 

Woman’s Day helps separate the helpful advice from the diet busters

You've heard that every rule has an exception, and that’s especially true when it comes to dieting. There’s lots of good, sound advice out there, but sometimes sticking to it too closely — and not considering the nuances — can get you into trouble. Banning chocolate, for example, might seem like a great way to cut calories … until you find yourself devouring an entire chocolate cake late one night...click the link below for more:
