When Planning Prevents Progress
After my workout this morning I sat outside to finish Stretch - Unlock the Power of Less & Achieve More Than You Ever Imagined. I had an hour before my chiropractor appointment and I try to make those most of those little windows of time. If you'd rather listen to...
It’s Hard? Perfect.
My alarm went off at 4:30am this morning. I didn't want to get up. I did it anyway. I needed to get in the shower at 6:40am to make it to the gym. I didn't want to go. I went anyway. If you'd rather listen to this blog than read it, please click here to listen on...
Travel Day Strategies
My alarm went off at 3:35 this morning. I had a flight to catch. Travel days used to be complete train wrecks for me: candy from Newport News, pretzels from Auntie Annie’s, snacks in flight - you name it. I used the departure from my normal routine as an excuse to...

Joy Is Created, Not Consumed
I needed a little fresh air this afternoon so I took a quick break to carry my trash out. Yup, that's what a break looked like today. Anyways, while I was walking, a thought popped into my head: Joy is something I create, not something I consume. If you'd rather...
Stop Ignoring This Serious Problem
I can totally appreciate thinking about & classifying food based on whether it helps you achieve your physique goals or not. However, that's a limited perspective that can come back to bite you. When you only think of food through the filter of weight loss/weight...
Defensiveness & A Deficit Mindset
Last year I went out to dinner with my mom & my sister. As we waited for our meal I asked if they would indulge me in a little experiment. I wanted one of them to share a problem or a challenge they were having but they had to share it in the form of a question....
