Moving Ahead Is A Choice I was listening to Rick Warren’s teaching today called “The Growth Choice“. As I listened to it, I couldn’t help think about how true that title is in every area of our lives. Growth is a choice. We can choose to grow in head knowledge, we can choose to grow …
Are You Near Sighted? What if every decision you made was not based on how you feel now, but how you would feel later? I believe too many of us approach our life with a near sighted view. We only make decisions based on what we can see up close, because everything far away is …
One of the biggest obstacles I come across most is people not being honest with themselves. Cients often try to convince me of how healthy they eat and how they are doing everything right but they just can’t lose weight. They think they are just an exception to the rule. In all my years in the fitness …
Only a few more days of my daily motivational posts to kick off the New Year strong! I hope they are “pumping you up”! In my interview with JJ Peterson, the trainer from the first episode of Fit To Fat To Fit, JJ says “you have to find your why”. As many of you know, …
Committed – 7 Days A Week One of the hardest parts about dieting is sticking to your diet 7 days a week. Anyone can diet for a few days in a row, but to diet over the weekend? That’s a challenge. Don’t erase all your hard work in the gym in one bad day over the …

One of the biggest problems Americans have is we lack self-control. We allow our feelings to control us instead of us working harder to control our feelings. Some people wake up and just decide they don’t feel like going to work, even though they are in debt up to their eyeballs. People get divorced because they …
New Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Different We are starting a new year! Before I tackle today’s subject of setting fitness goals and getting ready to conquer this new year, I want to share some more personal stuff about myself, what I’m learning and what God is continuing to teach me. As I woke up eager to …
Why do many New Year’s Resolutions fade away? I believe it’s because they are based on emotion. We get emotional after the holidays. We “feel” fat. We spent too much money.
