EDITOR’S NOTE

This is the time when so many of us struggle to stay focused on the reso- lutions we set at the start of the year. Whether we had recommitted ourselves to existing goals or decided to embark on new ones, it can be difficult to maintain the motivation. A bit of inspiration helps. I’m in the camp of recommitting to an

existing goal. For a long time, I have been focused on strength- ening my muscles and bones. My bone density is not what it used to be thanks to a variety of factors, age being one of them. I have known this and have been working on strengthening my bones, but it’s a marathon and not a sprint. It’s a goal that re- quires consistency, time, commitment and motivation. At times, all those things are in play, and I feel like I am ac- complishing great things. Other times, I can barely drag myself to the gym. For a while, I’ve felt utterly uninspired to work out. Part of it is my busy schedule, or rather my kids’ busy sched- ules. I’m in my Uber-driving phase of life and just keeping up with my kids doesn’t leave a lot of me-time. When I do get time, exhaustion creeps in and my goals get pushed aside. Personal trainer Amanda Rohde’s fitness article on bone strength is just the dash of inspiration I need to ignite my moti- vation and hopefully fuel it for the long haul. Amanda puts it quite clearly. Strength training = stronger bones = increased mobility = improved quality of life … later in life. These are strong reasons to recommit. I’m back at the gym and hopeful my newfound motivation will carry me awhile. If you have a goal but can’t maintain the motivation to see it through, look around for inspiration. It’s there. Maybe right here in the pages of this magazine.
Enjoy!
