Can you lose weight by doing fun exercises? “As long as I get results I don’t care” I’ve heard that in the past from people who are looking to lose weight and get in better shape. And I used to think there was nothing wrong with that attitude. It’s almost respectable in a way, right? […]

I’ve kind of been on a ‘Minimalism’ kick lately. You know, getting rid of “stuff” that I just don’t use or don’t plan on using. The latest book I’m reading is called “Clutterfree” by Leo Babauta. So far so good… I love it. Even just reading about getting rid of stuff gets me fired up! […]

If the pain isn’t great enough that it makes you take a stand and do something to make it go away, then it must not be that much of a pain. I got a message in my private Facebook group yesterday from a woman going through our 6 week challenge. She’s lost 9 pounds so far […]

I’ve finally gotten around to my social media rant! I think it’s a huge waste of time, which causes inactivity, and ultimately, weight gain. How many of you are on social media: Facebook or Instagram? Or maybe some of you are more experienced and you also have SnapChat! Whatever you have, do you actively participate […]

Fitness Setbacks will happen and that’s OK! I’ve been living at my in laws house for the last 8 weeks and that’s finally coming to an end! Believe it or not, it’s actually bittersweet. I get along really well with my in-laws and I have to say, it’s been a lot of fun being here. Almost […]

How do they remember how much weight they lifted […]

YOU! Wouldn’t that be pretty sweet, huh? Well, I don’t know if you are ever going to win an Oscar award like some of the actors and actresses, but what about the “ordinary” people who got on TV last night? The Academy award goes to… Did you see that part? Everyday people like you and […]

How do you feel? Assess your current situation. I don’t just mean this very instant right now while you are reading this. How have you felt over the last few days, weeks, months? Have you been eating healthy lately and exercising regularly? If so, I’m sure you feel great. If your eating hasn’t been so […]

Did you ever wake up and feel a total sense of “this is the day it’s going to happen in your life”? I can’t really put a word on that feeling, so I hope you know what I mean. You know, the feeling of ” OK, today is the day I’m going to ________.” You fill in […]

So many of you know that I am in a “lean gain” phase. What does that mean exactly? Well, it means I am trying to put on as much muscle as possible while gaining as little body fat as possible. It’s easy to gain weight. But it’s gaining mostly muscle and as little fat as […]
