I apologize in advance for using such an informal edgy title, but “stink” didn’t cut it – and it didn’t rhyme with success. LOL As I was searching for synonyms for “suck”, I discovered where the word came from. Jazz musicians would compliment a horn player by saying “wow, he can really blow!” Since I play trumpet, …
When we see photos of fitness competitors and professional athletes, it can be very motivating for some people – but very discouraging for others. It’s easy to set ourselves apart from the professionals, or from people we think we can’t relate to, and think to ourselves “I could never do that”. But, when I see someone with my …
We all have to eat, but are we living to eat or do we eat to live – and live life well? Meaning, is food Lord over our life or is it just part of life. Sometimes I think we give food way too much power. This morning I was reading the passage “…choose for yourselves …

“if If I only did things when i felt like it, I wouldn’t do many things that benefited me”. – Pastor Ron, WaterStone Church If you want to succeed with fitness, in relationships, at work and in life, there is one thing you will have to learn to do: Don’t live a life led by emotions. …
On of viewer’s favorite lines in Steve and Tasha’s Fit To Fat To Fit episode was when Steve huffed and puffed (and wheezed) through his first workout. Personally, I was amazed at the resounding response, “now he knows how it feels”. On the night the show initially aired, Crush ♥On ♥You @HotMadLegend tweeted “for the love of god & …
