Fat loss….why is it so hard? Does this sound like you?
Story #1: I want to lose fat! I will work harder and just say no! This is where 90% of us live. We want to look good in a bathing suit, we want to feel confident and comfortable in our bodies. As such we build up enough emotional “willpower” to, “Just Say No.” The problem however goes like this… Work went late and/or the kids had something they “had” to do, but forget to tell you about. As such you get back to the house late and arrive exhausted running on fumes. Plus, while you were at work, you didn’t have...
It’s Easter…and the Grinch has had a change of heart!
It’s getting warmer (unless you are in Florida, it's warm there all the stinkning time), which means spring is upon us and Easter is almost here. The chances are you have been eating a little bit better since the onslaught of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years…or at least that is my hope : ). However, as I stated earlier the Grinch who stole Christmas is back and he wants to steal your muscle and give you some more fat instead of coal. The simple truth is here is no escaping the onslaught of sugar that threatens us at every turn...
Insulation, Sheetrock, and How to make a Homemade Detox Bath when you are feeling “sideways”…

How to get the end result…starts with celebrating small successes.
I will give you a personal, real life example. My desired end result is to have a state of the art personal training studio. If I only focused on the end. I could easily get discouraged and distracted...
Just Breath…Bonus tip to improve falling to sleep!
At the start of the week I challenged you all to send 2-3 minutes, each day, practicing deep breathing. It is pretty simple, if you missed it. Sit comfortably and straighten your back. Deeply breathe in air through your nose and hold your breath for a few seconds. Exhale through your mouth slowly, pushing out as much air as you can. Continue to breathe in and out like that for a few minutes and try to relax as much as possible. Concentrate on your breathing only. Bonus tip for those who struggle to fall asleep. One of the best times to practice deep breathing is right...
Deadlines work! You want to reach your goal, set a deadline and tell others about!
We moved into our new house, BUT only with the people from some awesome people : ) So this last Sunday we moved! Super awesome right? It actually was. The only reason it was awesome and not a nightware is because I got help from some amazing people/families, the Guldberg’s, Stanley’s, Quinone’s, Browning’s, Jenkins, and probably others I forgot. It is extremely humbling and awe inspiring when others are willing to serve you, (especially me, I definitely don’t deserve it...

Challenge….JUST BREATH…
It’s a good thing we DON’T have control over many of the things that go on in our bodies. We get so busy, that we probably would have died a long time ago because we would absolutely have gotten distracted and have forgotten to BREATH! I know I would have! These last couple of weeks have been crazy. We moved this past weekend, we are getting ready to open Just You Fitness Winston-Salem...
