333: Midterm Gut Check – How Are You Doing?
We are almost halfway through 2017. It's time for your midterm gut check. How are things going? What is working? In what ways are you contributing to your results or your lack of results? Do not let another day go by without taking the initiative and being proactive...
Year of Push 2.28 Two Pigs & A Cow
You know what represents progress? The fact that this blog title, "Two Pigs & A Cow" isn't an attempt at self-depricating humor! Yeah! Personal growth for the win! Haha. Nope, two pigs & a cow is a recipe I want to share with you. I'm not a cook, I'm not a...
Year of Push 2.27 Re-Creation
I was completely in "the zone" today. It was around noon time when I realized, "Holy sh*t, I feel unstoppable today!" It was one of those days where you're full of energy, getting things done, crushing the to-do list, making great choices and feeling like everything...
332: Attitude Adjustment – It’s Not A Competition
It's time for an attitude adjustment. The pursuit of fat loss or fitness is not a competition. You aren't competing against your friends and you aren't working out to "win" - the comparison trap will screw you up & mess with your head. Last week I was reminded of...
Year of Push 2.26 Nil Sine Labore
What a weekend. I decided to more or less isolate myself for an almost 4-day fast. My last meal was post-workout early Thursday afternoon and I broke the fast this morning (Monday) before my workout. Why isolate? It's best for everyone when I'm fasting 🙂 Just ask...
331: Carbs And Fat Loss
There is way too much confusion about carbohydrates. Too many people lump them all in the same category and act as if grams of carbs or calories are the only relevant factor. That's not the case. Others act as if all carbs are "bad" - also not the case. Some suggest...
Year of Push 2.25 When No One Is Looking
Yesterday afternoon I kicked off a weekend fast. My plan is to go for 4 days but I'll make that decision based on how I feel as the days go by. For me, the first 36 hours of a fast are the hardest. Mentally, I want to eat. Adjusting to not eating takes some time. When...
Year of Push 2.24 Fasting?
I am fasting this weekend. I've talked about fasting & my experience with it on the podcast - I even did a 5 day fast a couple months ago. I was incredibly unsure of my desire and ability to complete a 5-day fast but it was one of the best experiences I've had in...
330: Overcoming Inertia – Pushing Through When It Feels Hard
We don't make progress because we give up, give in, delay and make excuses when things get hard. Here's the problem: change feels hardest right before you break through to it becoming easier. It's easy to start. It's easy to do the work when it's new & you're...
Year of Push 2.23 Nightmares
Ever since I was a little kid, I've had nightmares. Creepy, violent nightmares. Until recently, I'd wake up from a horrifying nightmare and be haunted by it. I'd see the images, think about the scenes & focus on the fear. One short nightmare would disrupt an...
