Aim With Everything
I really enjoyed Joshua Medcalf's book Chop Wood, Carry Water. The title refers to one of my favorite Zen sayings: Before enlightment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightment, chop wood, carry water. For years I've adapted that Zen wisdom with my clients and in my...

Simple Summer Meal: Lobster Avocado Tower
I am all about pseduo-cooking in the summer time. Maybe it's more appropriately called "assembling", but sometimes I just want to throw something together that is easy, cool and fat loss friendly. I totally made that happen the other day with this no-cook lobster...

I’m Breaking This Bad Habit
I have a new pet peeve. Quite frankly, it's a pet peeve because I started to annoy myself. Ready for it? I am sick and tired of defining myself, how I am and how work is with the word busy. How are you? Busy. How's work? Busy. How have things been? Busy. What's new?...
