Where in the World is Fitness Friday?
In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t done a Fitness Friday post in awhile (August 2014,to be exact) . And before that, Fitness Friday posts were inconsistent, at best—only a few, at the beginning of 2014.
So, what’s the deal? Has Fitness Friday Girl secretly fallen off the fitness wagon?
No. Not at all.
I am still passionate about fitness, nutrition and health. I am still doing everything I know to do to lead a healthy lifestyle. And I still want YOU to doing everything you know to do to lead a healthy lifestyle.
The truth is, after seven years, I’ve finally run out of new things to say about fitness.
My Fitness Philosophy: 1. Eat real, whole foods most of the time, local when possible.
2. Cook at home most of the time.
3. Avoid added sugar.
4. Enjoy an occasional treat.
5. Exercise 4-6 times per week doing something you enjoy.
6. Exercise should include a combination of strength, cardio and flexibility.
7. Get a good night’s sleep.
8. Learn to manage stress effectively.
9. Do meaningful work that you enjoy.
10. Move all day long.
I feel like I’ve said these things every which way. And, truth be told, there are so many other people who say it better or are more qualified to say it.
Because this is a blog about balance and a reflection of what I believe about life, fitness will always be part of it. But for now, (or maybe forever?) I’m officially retiring Fitness Friday. If I choose to write something about fitness or share a delicious recipe, I will post it whatever the heck day I want.
I know. Crazy.

I’ve enjoyed Fitness Friday and like most things in life if they are worthy then they are worthy of repeating. I have also enjoyed your reviews of workout programs which have been helpful. Thanks for all you do in promoting fitness.
Thanks, Mark. I enjoyed writing Fitness Friday, too. In fact, I think about it every week as Friday approaches. I will still write fitness posts. It just won’t be a regular weekly feature. It hasn’t been for a long time. But the nagging “OMG! I NEEEEEED to do a FF post!” is now gone. I can write fitness posts any day of the week now. 🙂
I am just glad that you are blogging again. I’m thrilled when I see a new post because I know it will be insightful and witty and most importantly well worth the time it takes to read. Often, I ponder a post for days after reading it.
All that to say, post those fitness tips whenever you want, along with anything else your heard desires. I’m hear to read and learn.
