Do you cling to foods that are hurting your fitness goals?
Are you struggling with separation issues :-)? Are you clinging to foods that are hurting your fitness goals? If so, you need to get rid of them. By far the easiest way to make sure you don’t eat something is to make it difficult to access. Think about it, if you have a bowl of M&Ms sitting in front of you, you are going to eat more M&M’s then if you had to go buy them at store. To illustrate this point, that sometimes it is wise to break up. I am going to tell about how Abram and Lot...

Are You Sabotaging Yourself?
A couple quick question. Are you sabotaging yourself and cheating yourself from acquiring your fitness goals? Are you giving your best? How is our attitude? So often when it comes to physical fitness we sabotage ourselves by only giving 70% - 80% effort. If you are a formal athlete you are likely thinking, “No! I give 100% every time I step into the gym! Shut your mouth!” My gentle rebuttal would be, “What are you eating on a consistent basis?” Chances are you need to shut your mouth, lol. I know this because it describes me…;-). In my experience, former athletes...
Why People On The 56 Day Diet Get Frustrated!
I am sure you have heard a lot about the 56 day diet. Truth be told I am a fan, it is based on non-processed foods, it emphasizes protein, it is pretty epic.

Now the common frustration I hear from clients and others who have used it is… “I have stopped losing weight and I am doing exactly what it says”. In short, they get frustrated with the 56 day diet because they end up hitting a plateau and...
You are shaped physically and mentally by what you consistently do.
The other day Axel took me on an “Adventure Walk” behind our house. As we were trespassing (Ironic I know) we ran into an old sign that was partly “consumed” by the tree it was nailed to. I attached the picture so you can check it out. How long do you think it took for that sign to get consumed by the tree? 10 - 20 years? I have no idea, but I do know it did not happen overnight. It took a really long time.It took consistent work and effort. To often I see people quit just about the same...

Limit These 10 Common Foods To Lose Some Weight.
Axel and I went “hunting” :-) So, the other day I was eating dinner and watching a show on Netflix’s called, “Meat Eater.” Basically, this guy named Steven Rinella goes around and hunts animals and then cooks them. I haven’t hunted in about 10 years, not since I left Montana, and watching this show reminds me of some great times. Any way, as I am eating my dinner, my son Axel (5 years old) whispers… “Dad, why are they whispering?”. I look at him like, “What are you talking about?” and I then realized he is talking about the show. So, I...
