I don’t know where Debra Mazda gets her energy from but she is one of my inspirations, as you know if you’ve been reading my blog for a while. I’ve got her on my picture side links, I’ve interviewed her and I’ve written other peices about her on this site.
I love how this woman tells it like it is but she’s forever mindful of the struggle we all face to balance work, exercise, food and life. She’s never forgets how she felt years ago – and that is why she still continues to inspire and motivate.
My only regret is that I don’t live closer to her ShapelyGirl Fitness classes. I’ll have to make do with my gym visits, power walks and swimming. But I cannot forget that this woman’s wise words helped me get to the point of wanting to make a life change.
For those, like me, who really can’t get to Debra’s classes or feel they need to sit and listen to her motivational story and advice then this new double (shipping 22nd April) may be just what you’ve been looking for.
This is NOT about hating on people who are overweight. This is about inspiring those who wish to shape up – no matter what their size. I found her chats with me extremely helpful when I decided I could no longer justify my weight when constant back pain and breathlessness was interrupting my life. I’m now content having put exercise into my diary on a regular basis and just observing what I eat.
Another interesting thing to note is that Debra doesn’t want to hate on the odd chocolate fix. She’s realistic. She also doesn’t like the word diet – YAY. Instead Debra prefers to call the process of maintaining good health a ‘lifestyle.’
It’s a very tricky subject which no one really likes to discuss – on the flip side we want to be proud of our bodies, but on the realistic side many of us know that regular exercise and observing healthy eating choices is the way forward. That said - conversley Debra is quick to point out we have our own minds and our own personal goals – they don’t always need to be the same as the next person.
One of her catch phrases is, ‘get off the couch’ and she’s right!
It’s nice to see since I’ve been talking about my ‘getting off the couch’ some of my friends have been tweeting and facebook updating about their walking, swimming and going to the gym. Doesn’t it make you feel good? Okay – not at first – it hurts and you will probably be cursing but honestly after the first few times of doing regular exercise you will feel you have more energy to do more.
I also would like for my America friends to ‘quit using your car to go down the block to the store.’ Honestly! Yeah, people look at me all the time when I walk off the main strip in Hollywood when I visit, like, ‘there is a girl walking and she doesn’t look homeless,’ HA! I know right? Honestly get a group together and walk around, break a sweat, break the fat myth. Debra Mazda, will assist you if you’re ready.
