Your persistence and dedication to your exercise goals will get you the results you are looking for in time. Don't beat yourself up about missing a workout or eating more than you should have, just keep trying. Consider this quote from one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
"I've missed over 9,000 shots in my career. I've
lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot . . . and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that
is why I succeed."

Greetings!
Dublin has finally given us the green light (permit) for the start of our renovation! We thank you for your patience and understanding that the former Accelerate Ohio space has been less than attractive and not up to our usual standards.
We realize that many of you have enjoyed the open floor space, although the renovation is necessary to make Good Bodies the place to come not only for personal training, but Physical Rehabilitation (M.A.T.) and Metabolic Assessments. Please continue to bear with us as we make these necessary and exciting changes.
Moving team member...
Good Bodies is very sad to be losing trainer and friend Melody Ley to the great state of Texas. We all knew it was a possibility as her significant other was relocated there a few months ago. Melody will be here a couple more weeks before her move and we hope you will all have a chance to say good-bye. Thanks Melody, we have all been inspired by your smiling face, positive attitude, and dedication to your clients and profession.
On the lighter side...

Plant This Idea: Fill Up On Fiber
Fiber is an important part of our diet, but what is it and how do we
get the amount we need to reap its healthy rewards? One way to remember
fiber: Think plants.
Dietary fiber is found only in plant foods like whole grains,
fruits, nuts and vegetables. It consists of certain carbohydrates our
bodies can't digest or absorb in the bloodstream. Instead of being used
for energy like other carbohydrates, fiber is eliminated, taking with
it waste products the body doesn't need.
There are two types of dietary fiber - soluble and insoluble. Both
are beneficial but have very different missions.
Soluble fiber, found
in foods like oats and oat bran, brown rice and beans, may help
decrease blood cholesterol levels, reducing your risk of heart disease.
Soluble fiber can also help control the rise of blood sugar levels
after eating.
Insoluble fiber, also known as "roughage," helps to "move things
along" in the digestive tract. Sources of insoluble fiber include
whole-grain breads and cereals; wheat, oat and corn bran; many
vegetables, like broccoli, green beans and sweet potatoes. Some foods,
such as oatmeal and beans, have both soluble and insoluble fiber.
When making your food choices, don't get hung up on which fiber is
which. By eating a variety of plant-based foods, you will get fiber in
your diet while also enjoying great tasting meals. Eating high- fiber
foods can help you feel full sooner, so you eat less.
You can increase your daily fiber with these tips:
- Eat whole-grain cereals for breakfast.
- Eat at least two pieces of whole fruit per day, such as pears,
apples, bananas and strawberries. Add them to your cereal, yogurt or
salads.
- Eat whole-wheat bread. Remember, just because it's brown
doesn't mean it's whole-wheat. Check the label to make sure it reads
"whole-wheat."
- Add tomatoes, lettuce or other vegetables to sandwiches.
- For a snack, munch on popcorn, which is also a whole grain. Go easy on the salt and butter.
- Make side dishes with short-grain brown rice. It's loaded with fiber and flavor.
- Put vegetables in soups and pasta dishes. If you're having pizza, load up on the vegetable toppings.
For more information on fiber in your diet, schedule an appointment with our registered dietitian, Christina Bartosik, RD, LD.
