I was always a journal-er (-ist? Writer of journals?)

I still have volumes of notebooks and diaries depicting chapters of my life.  At one point in time, in my early twenties, I could go back on any given day, leaf through the volumes of my diaries and see what I was do...

So.  I didn't have time this morning to workout before work.  

That's a lie.

I failed to prioritize my workout this morning before work.  

Tonight I came home at 9:15pm and still really was itching to get a quick workout in, but I didn't really want to commit to...

Real talk. 

Not feeling my über leanest right now.  And sure that disappoints me a little bit.  We all want to feel like the best versions of ourselves.  But I'm also not freaking out because I know what to do to get back on track.  I have the tools and nutritional know...

Recent passtime?  Researching nutrition deficiencies.   (I know, I live an exciting life.)  

But one thing is blatantly obvious:

NO ONE is getting enough omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Don't freak out, there's an easy solution.

A whopping 95% of our populat...

Do you feel a little uneasy walking into the gym?  Does it feel unnatural to take ownership over the weights section?  Well, guess what?  

Me too.  And I am a trainer for fox sake!  

I call it "gym-timidation".

As I walk up to the bar to lift, I s...

HOW MUCH WEIGHT SHOULD I LOSE?

Real talk?  Sustainable weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds per week.  I know this doesn’t exactly sound thrilling.  But any program promising faster results is probably worth a harder look.  A more aggressive program might “work” for a while, b...
