Four Short Words
That’s all it is. Four, short words. When others inquire as to why I began this new entrepreneurial venture, my mind keeps coming back to those four, short words. Losing weight is easy.

Your Fool-Proof Plan For Weight Loss For the Holidays
Turkey, ham, or pot pies? Cookies, buckeyes, or “tree bark”? Cheese and crackers or shrimp cocktail? Pumpkin pie or cheesecake? Stuffing, green bean casserole, or mashed potatoes? Budweiser or Jack? There’s so many choices this time of year. We know we’ll have to make them. And it’s not exactly like the person making the dish […]
Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable – And Reap The Benefits
It’s the dad of a toddler who runs to his child’s every whimper, cry, and whine and tries to fix it. It’s the out-of-shape soccer mom who runs for the fridge at the slightest twinge of hunger. It’s the 13-year old on the soccer team who seems to have an “asthmatic attack” every time the […]
Do Nothing and Benefit From It……..and My Redemption
Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of times where doing nothing is a TERRIBLE idea. A student yells, “SHUT UP, IDIOT!” at me in the middle of my Algebra lesson. Your arm catches on fire at a bonfire. An intoxicated friend decides to try to drink a fifth of Jack in one huge gulp. […]
Most Health Articles Suck. So, What SHOULD You Believe?
And we wonder why nobody has any clue how to better their health. Do you watch the evening news? Dr. Oz? The Doctors? Do you read Yahoo? MSN? Fitbie? If you do, then I’m sure you notice a trend. One day, goji berries are the greatest thing ever. The next day, they cause genetic mutations. […]

Lesson 6 – Things To Adjust While Dieting – And Things To LEAVE THE HECK ALONE,
Patience is fleeting for all of us. When we want something, we want it now. Our society has become inundated with the me-first style of thinking which practically infests our mind with the idea that we should have it all. Right now. Not in ten minutes, or ten weeks, or ten months. But now. Fitness […]
Exercising Your Willpower Muscle
I read up on the internet as often as I can. Nutrition fascinates me. I’m genuinely interested in food and how it enhances or inhibits certain processes in the body. Trying to find the right amounts of nutrients and make the proper food choices to improve my body composition is a passion of mine. […]
Dieting Myths Even Dietitians Fall For
Oh my goodness. Just got back from an appointment with a dietitian. Not for nutritional advice; I wanted to get a DEXA scan done to test my body fat. I’m gonna be doing a little self-experimentation this summer with pre-workout nutrition for a future blog post. I needed to get my baseline levels measured. I […]
