Yesterday, I shared 3 Travel Tips to Stay ON. Since I’m traveling again, I thought I’d share a couple more. This time I’m in Chicago, which means I have access to Whole Foods. :-) Even though I got in late last night due to delays and then traffic, after I checked in I headed [...]
Hola! :) Janell and I got back from our conference in Mayakoba, Mexico last night. After a 12 hour day of traveling (we couldn’t get a direct flight), I’m e-a-s-i-n-g into today. I slept in a little, snuggled with Badger, and hit a workout fully recovered. Then I met up with Janell (she was [...]
Your brain is a goal-achieving machine, and it operates on the images you create for it. How does that work? The Reticular Activating System is part of your brain that, among other things, “finds” what you’re looking for. I’ll never forget getting my first car. I scored big time with a used Toyota MR-2.

So, I just had a very *interesting* ten days. Basically, I had the worst headache imaginable. It was so bad, it was hard not to think of the worst… The first thing you need to understand is that I don’t get headaches. I’m very fortunate that way. I really can’t remember a time in [...]
I’m going to be heading off to Louisville this afternoon so I thought I’d share a few travel tips with you today… First, it starts with packing. I swear I spend more time packing my supplements than I do my clothes. ;-b But, supplements are EXTRA IMPORTANT when you travel! For one, the food [...]
Death and taxes… We’ve all heard the saying. This is usually attributed to Benjamin Franklin, who wrote in a 1789 letter that “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Of course, you could [...]
Well, today’s my 44th birthday… I’m actually not really big on birthdays. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not down on them in any way. I certainly have no issue with getting a year older; I actually kinda like that. :-). I just don’t need to take a day off or go shopping or [...]
To get the most out of your fitness program, you need to pay attention to and maximize your recovery… Recovery = Results You see, most people don’t realize that the workout is just the stimulus for change. The actual transformation occurs during recovery. That’s where things like sleep, stress management, and supportive nutrition come [...]
