I’m embarking on a 30 day journey of blogging. This is Day 2. If you’d like some background on this, read my post from Day 1. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the classic scene at the beginning of Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” where the group of leads are arguing over the merits of tipping your […]
I have been reading a book by Seth Godin recently. It’s a compilation of posts he made between 2006 and 2012. I think he’s a wickedly brilliant person and while I can’t say that all of his work resonates with me, much of it does. There was an experiment he proposed which was to spend […]
Come here, take my hand. I’d like to show you something. A quick glimpse at the highlight reel of my life and career shows smiling faces, happy children, a thriving business and a loving wife. You’ll also see successful clients, personal records in the gym of those clients, and positive reviews of their experience at […]
I recently read the book “‘You Just Need To Lose Weight’ and 19 Other Myths About Fat People” by Aubrey Gordon. My friend and fellow coach, Sumi Singh, recommended it to me. Sumi is also an avid reader and I generally take her book recommendations to heart. I had no awareness of the author and […]
Last year’s post about life lessons, written with the help of my Grandmother, was one of my most popular posts of the year. This article will be released on the week that Gram turns 90. I’m always fascinated to hear what advice anyone can give to living a longer life. Of course, it’s an n=1 […]
Terry, I don’t know how I can get this message to you. This year will mark three since you left us. And I still can’t seem to shake your presence from my life. I know I spoke about this before, in a piece I wrote that was so painful and so cathartic to write. Yet, […]
I find myself coming to the defense of fast food quite often. It’s not because I think it’s high in nutrients nor do I think it should comprise the majority of someone’s diet. Fast food (I’ll define it as food that you purchase and receive through a drive-thru window) comprises maybe 5% of my total […]
1-Catastrophizing your food choices does more “harm” to your diet than the actual food you ate. So you ate a pint of ice cream..so what? It’s done. It’s over. Move on. Those calories are consumed, accounted for (whether you counted them or not), and you can’t rewrite that part of the story. Change the next […]
I’ve struggled with nail biting for over 30 years. It started when I was in junior high and I recall my parents buying some type of polish that I could put on my nails as a deterrent. The taste of the polish was bad but not so off-putting that I was able to stop the […]
I doubt I’ll ever run out of content for this site. Between my interactions with clients face-to-face and online, my continuing education, what I learn from coaches who inspire me (and those who don’t), there is no shortage of information to share with you. Sometime recently, I saw a post by a coach who I’ve […]
