Reframing Your Excuses

I talk to a lot of people who deem themselves too busy to get their workouts in. We all talk about the amount of time we have to put into our kids, our work and/or our personal life. We don’t want to give anything up. Our identities are deeply tied to the things we do,Continue reading “Reframing Your Excuses”

My Favorite Question

How’s that working out for you? A question I have been asking myself a lot recently. A lot of depth to it if you commit to diving into the real answers. Real answers being hard to own up to. In my case, The way we set up your health program takes work. The way we setContinue reading “My Favorite Question”

Exercise During Pregnancy

Hey, I’ve been doing some research into exercise while pregnant. I’ve done my best in talking to MDs, reseaching nerdy crap and talking to people with experience.

Connecting your Why

  Earlier today I ran up to the rec center. And in case I haven’t told you, I’m on a basketball kick. Basketball is funny to me. It’s a reminder of when I went through my surgeries.

A Guide to Conscious Habit

Ahoy and good day! Your daily routine. You wake up, brush your teeth and get rid of that nasty tasting morning breath. Put on some clothes after throwing the PJs in the hamper and make your way into the living room. After turning on the TV, breakfast gets prepped. You open the door to the fridge andContinue reading “A Guide to Conscious Habit”

You ain’t Cheating, you ain’t tryin’

Had a heck of a weekend with peeps after working out together on Sunday. ‘Winners’ of the workout were Todd and Holly – who affectionately named the workout ‘ohh this cold cement feels good’ immediately afterwards. It was a great experience getting out of the 1 on 1 mode and diving into the whole ‘let’s workContinue reading “You ain’t Cheating, you ain’t tryin’”

I Made a Surprise Visit Home and Freaked out my Family

Heather and I are having a blast out in Utah. Seriously – when they say happy wife, happy life – it rings true. She is loving her new position and it’s been a while since I have seen her this happy. She says her new command is a lot less stressful, they play sports everydayContinue reading “I Made a Surprise Visit Home and Freaked out my Family”
