Something had been bugging me for a VERY long time. Now, I've figured some of it out, after the ideas from some amazing conversations with people I consider to be some of the biggest minds in fitness have congealed. On the left side of the desk is this little heap of paper bits: brainstorms, workouts I've written for clients, myself, or the small group, a few receipts and SD … [Read more...] about The Ultimate Rebellion: Rejecting Punishment and Deprivation

An Experiment…. Hardstyle Dog Training or More Reasons NOT to Practice Mistakes
Anyone who knows me in real like knows how much I love a good experiment. Having made my science fair debut at age 5, I've been on a life-long quest for all kinds of answers. Early highlights include (reworded, obviously): reciprocity of smiling, acidity and plant growth/survival, and of course all the undocumented backyard efforts. Still one of my favorites, was some … [Read more...] about An Experiment…. Hardstyle Dog Training or More Reasons NOT to Practice Mistakes
Excuses are Incredibly Dangerous for You and Other People Too!
Think before you pass the blame. Seriously. Are you unhappy with some particular aspect of your life? Fitness? Money issues? Relationships? Or whatever else? Listen to the "voices in your head." What are they saying? Are they passing the blame? Are they arguing aggravating or mitigating circumstances?* I know a lot of people who blame their problems on things … [Read more...] about Excuses are Incredibly Dangerous for You and Other People Too!

Fitness Conspiracy Theories and How To Fight Back!
It's funny - every time I hint about a "conspiracy theory," many of you perk up, some of you text, some email, some even call! If I'm ever feeling lonely, I really know what to do. HA. I don't have a case of the lonelies today, but I did want to get your attention and tell you some of my theories and why they are so insidious. And also how YOU can be smart and beat... THEM. … [Read more...] about Fitness Conspiracy Theories and How To Fight Back!
Abstract goals and the road to strength
It used to annoy the heck out of me when I'd meet someone presently or formerly very successful in their technical or artistic field (a former newscaster, various artists, filmmakers, writers, programmers, etc.) and upon asking them about what they did, they'd come back with some kind of abstract answer like: "I'm a Storyteller." Problem was, I didn't get it at the time. Now … [Read more...] about Abstract goals and the road to strength
Start 2012 Well! + A GIFT FOR YOU! :)
2011 has been a big year - I finally accomplished some very far-reaching personal goals, and have been moving slowly but surely forward. 2012 holds a lot of promise I think - and hopefully the same is true for you. As mentioned in the Challenges vs Resolutions post, I've chosen a particular exercise challenge - and then was further motivated to add the 21 Day Sugar Detox to … [Read more...] about Start 2012 Well! + A GIFT FOR YOU! :)
Forget Resolutions… Choose a CHALLENGE!
Oh yes... it's the season... the season of CHANGE... the season of being BOMBARDED by advertisements exploiting your... theoretically weakened condition. Most people have stuffed themselves over Christmas and now New Years Eve looms in the not so distant future. The "guilt" weighs heavy... and just like last year, and the year before, etc. we are hearing a lot of talk about … [Read more...] about Forget Resolutions… Choose a CHALLENGE!
Elegance and Efficiency
I may have a slightly different definition of "elegance" than most - and its origin is oddly enough, Computer Science! In CS, sometimes we talk about elegant code, or an elegant system. And this is essentially something like a large task accomplished with as few keystrokes, or as few lines of code or even characters as possible. One of my favorite college computer science … [Read more...] about Elegance and Efficiency
A Simple Strategy for Healthy Eating
Ah, excuses... gotta love them - actually I do love to hear people's excuses because whenever I hear them, they give me ideas for blog posts! Also, it makes me think about my own excuses for things and how to overcome them. So yes, keep whining and giving me excuses :) Did you know I've been writing a cookbook of sorts? It's part cookbook, part stategy, part "truth or … [Read more...] about A Simple Strategy for Healthy Eating
