I marvel at technology. I’ve been fascinated with tech in some capacity since I was a kid and I’d love to tell you that I have enough intuitive sense to be an early adopter to advancements in technology but that would be untrue. I tend to be a slow adopter and some things take a […]
Most of the people I work with like to have something occasionally sweet in their diet. That might mean a donut in the morning, a handful of candy, or maybe some ice cream after dinner. None of those options, in and of themselves, is particularly wrong to do. However, we want to step back and […]
We have a close friend of the family who has known me for my entire life. His name is Larry. Larry was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and he was eligible for a surgery called the Whipple procedure to remove the area of the pancreas where the cancer was located. While the side effects from […]
Last week, I attended a wellness event locally and I had the chance to meet some people in the community that I hadn’t previously known. Most of the people attending the event were there for fat loss and each person had their own unique challenges that they shared with others. I realized that many of […]

Jackson, You’ll be turning sixteen this week and I am still in awe that I have a sixteen year old child. I want to share a story with you, one that you may never come to understand. Your teen years have been, in many ways, as unpredictable as I had always heard they would be. […]
A couple of years ago, I was reading a post from a fellow coach (whose name eludes me at the moment) and they were talking about how to address and compliment their fat loss clients. There was a leaning towards the belief that they would no longer congratulate their clients for fat loss success. I’ve […]
Last week, I had a lot of things to do. It was a week where a holiday (New Year’s Day) was on a Monday which left us with 4 days of the work week left (not including a short shift we have on Saturdays). Each day, I would tell myself what needed to be done […]
