Get Inspired New Year, new commitment to goals—eat more kale and fewer carbs, go for a daily jog, floss more often (okay, start flossing). We have the best intentions with New Year’s resolutions, but let’s face it: Most of us make them and break them before Punxsutawney Phil rears his sleepy little head. Eating healthier, getting fit and improving our overall lives are goals that so often evade us. Perhaps we just need a little inspiration. You can always find a good reason to not work out, but with so many options in and around Southlake, you can’t use the old “the gym is packed” excuse. Gone are the days of big-box gyms flooded with resolution-ers fighting over treadmills; these days, fitness seekers have a world of options, from yoga and cycling to kickboxing and barre workouts. In “Fitness in the ’Burbs” on page 28, we take a look at how boutique studios are changing the way we work out. Dare I say that getting fit can even be fun. I’ve come to look forward to my pulse-pounding, adrenaline-pumping cycle classes. Throw in some wine and socializing on Wine-Down Wednesday, and it keeps me coming back. Keeping bodies healthy is always on the minds of the healthcare heroes on page 14. These outstanding medical professionals work each day to make life better for their patients, often going above and beyond the call of duty. Take Drs. Jonathan and Kristen Angwin, for example. This husband-and-wife dental team travels the globe to provide dental care to poverty-stricken patients. Jonathan says, “Our goal is to live each day with purpose and constantly strive to improve the lives of those around us.” For another dose of inspiration, turn to page 44 for our story on Marcus Luttrell, former Navy SEAL and author of the bestselling book Lone Survivor that became a 2013 Academy Award-nominated film. Luttrell shares his journey of holistic healing with Cerebrum Health Center, and how the center has helped him and many others go from hopeless to healed. Whatever your personal goals might be in the year ahead, find your inspiration—and maybe your running shoes and floss, too. You’ve got this!
