Fitness isn’t a punishment; It’s a blessing. Nutrition isn’t restrictive; It’s healing. Health isn’t a one-size-fits-all and may not look the same for everyone, but it’s something worth fighting for.
There are a lot of stressors in life! Some of them are controllable and some are not! I encountered a lot of controllable stressors this past weekend on my trip to Nashville. It was a great mix of fun, lots of laughter and relaxation along with some adult beverages and good indulgences! I am always grateful for my exercise habits and appreciation of good food to balance out trips like these.
One of the best ways to keep ourselves feeling good, healthy and happy is to eliminate the bad stressors when we can! Poor diet, lack of exercise and bad lifestyle habits all cause extra stress on our bodies, weaken our immune systems and leave our minds unclear! Remember there are a lot of things you CAN control and some you cannot! There is no greater way to fight stress than with a strong body and a strong mind!!!!! Have a GREAT week!!!!!!

FitHouse Takes Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis
Join us Saturday, May 21st for a special workout and fundraiser dedicated to two of our own FitHouse members, the Belfiore’s, in hopes to raise awareness and support for Joe and Owen and the entire community. Click the picture and link above for more information on how Joe and Owen are taking steps with Pittsburgh to raise awareness. Any type of donation is appreciated and be sure to join us for a special workout Saturday, May 21st to meet Joe and Owen!
“As most of you know already, this is a personal goal for our family because the effects of Crohn’s have touched us. It has been over three years since Owen had his bowel resection surgery and since then he has been blessed by good health and great care! Please help us join the fight to raise funds and awareness for Crohn’s research! My family and friends will be participating in the Take Steps Walk in Pittsburgh this coming June, and our goal is to raise over $5000. Please help if you can. Join the fight to find a cure for Crohn’s!”
Regards,
Joe & Owen Belfiore
