Apparently Kate Hudson isn’t Lance Armstrong’s only new venture, he just launched a new site, Livestrong.com. Like many health sites, you’ll find lots of articles and videos covering nutrition and fitness, but Livestrong has sections on stress relief, relationships, family and beauty too. And more importantly, the overall mission of the site is to inspire people to take action and make their lives better through everyday victories. It’s even connected to my favorite online food diary, The Daily Plate, so you can get everything all in one place.
The site also stresses the community aspect so you can ask other members questions and cheer each other on. One of my favorite things is the “Dare to Change” section. You can identify and set goals (i.e. Eat Less Sugar, Eliminate Debt, Do More Cardio), track your progress, chat with other members working toward the same goals and read articles that’ll help you achieve your goals. So check it out to see if you get inspired and if you join, add JivaFit as a friend!

If you don’t have a life list, you should start one right now. It’s easy and fun–simply make a list of all the things that you want to do in your lifetime, both big and small, fun and serious. Or you could make it more specific like 30 Things to Do Before You’re 30. Maybe you want to swim in the Mediterranean sea, run a marathon, write a book, fall in love, see Madonna in concert or cut your carbon footprint in half. A life list is an active way to remind ourselves to keep dreaming and achieving. Without setting goals, we could float through life for years without ever trying anything new or feeling the thrill of doing something challenging or exciting.
