I personally like to “map out goals” vs. “make resolutions”. The difference is that by mapping out goals, I will review them quarterly to see if I’m on track. There is also an internal difference and I’m not just focused on one thing (like losing weight or getting in shape). My “goal mapping” includes other [...]
C’mon, you know you’re thinking about it. Okay, so maybe you’re not thinking about what you can do to keep your resolution but I bet you’re thinking that it’s okay if you eat one more ______ (fill in the blank) because after January 1st you are going to ROCK your resolution to lose weight.
Well, I [...]
I received an email the other day from my friend Jeff Anderson (aka The Muscle Nerd). I thoroughly enjoyed it because it was composed of the perfect blend of humorous sarcasm and TRUTH. Those two things blended together always touch me in a way that nothing else can. I LOVE IT!
Anytime we learn something while [...]

You might remember the Presidents Physical Fitness Challenge when you were in school. You know, the one where they test you on various fitness exercises and make you feel like everyone in the entire class is in better shape than you. Okay, so that last part was totally from my perspective. But that’s how I [...]

Watching the Olympics seems to be bad for my health. Let me explain: First of all - I was taking my own Diet Tip Trio Challenge (see prior post) and the Challenge I chose was the third one - Mindful Eating. Basically, when I’m eating, I’m not supposed to be doing anything else (like watching [...]
I have a real hard time finding an exercise partner. My workout schedule doesn’t always run like clock work. So it’s hard for me to commit to being in a certain place at a certain time. But yet I enjoy having the accountability that an exercise partner brings. Knowing that someone will be disappointed if [...]
The other day I emailed a friend of mine the link to a post here “Do You Workout Like a Soldier at Boot Camp?” Well … no, she doesn’t and this was her reply:
“I loved the military workout article on your site. Frankly, that site gives me a total guilt trip. I’m sorry, but I don’t abide [...]
Do you ever wonder why our soldiers in the military workout so hard? I mean really, wouldn’t a simple jog and lifting a few weights be enough to keep them in reasonably good shape?
