Year of Push 2.22 I Was Lightening
There is someone who knows me better than anyone else. When I got the text, "Listen to this song, it reminds me of you", I knew it was probably spot on. The song was Thunder by Imagine Dragons. Not a yes sir, not a follower... I was lightening before the thunder Yup....
329: A Case Against Counting Calories
Today is the day. We are making a strong case against counting calories. I understand it's easy. I understand it's been "all the rage" for decades. I also understand it doesn't work. As Mark Sisson says, the calories in/calories out model is overly simple &...
Year of Push 2.21 Be Intentional
Happy May Day! We had a May Day tradition when I was growing up. My mom always said it was a Polish tradition, but who knows... We'd wake up on May 1st & run to the front door. On the outside steps would be a basket for each of us - kinda like an Easter basket -...

Year of Push 2.18 I’m Not Competing
Yay for lessons! Today brought a great one. Sure, it's one I already knew & one I teach my FLFT clients all the time, but as with all lessons, we have to learn them over and over. Today, I re-learned. I'm so grateful for a good friend giving me a powerful truth....
Year of Push 2.17 Mind Wandering
Happy Tuesday, friends! I was in bed at 9p last night and happily bounced out of bed at 5am today. I got in a couple hours of work before heading to the gym early. I planned some time to work one-on-one with a coach on improving my toes-to-bar form. It's not something...
