Lose MORE WEIGHT by adding FIBER!
Let's get your nutrition SWOLE :-) This week's challenge has to do with fiber. I won't lie this is kind of a selfish challenge. I've looked at my nutrition lately and my fiber is kind of lacking.

There are dozens of reasons why we need fiber and why fiber is good for us, however let's quickly review the different kinds of fiber. Soluble fiber Soluble fiber means it dissolves in water.

Is your energy being drained and making you feel stuck?
Is clutter keeping you down? I am keeping me down. My desk right now is a mess. slowly and surely random items have been appearing there and I've just been letting them be. One coffee cup here, one sheet of notebook paper with some notes that I need there. And before I new it. There was a deflated soccer ball and a pump to pump up the ball. Are you kidding me? But guess what? I haven't done anything about it yet. Why? Cuz I don't feel like it :-). The problem is all these little items have slowly Clutter my desk...
How Phillip lost 10 pounds and met his short term goal…while traveling!
Today, I would like to tell you about a stub client of mine named Phillip. When Phillip came to me he wanted to lose weight and look and feel better. The BIG problem Phillip had to overcome was his crazy traveling schedule that would only allow him to see me about 3 times a month. And When I mean crazy traveling schedule, I mean he went to Germany, Texas, Maryland, and countless other places. Like I said, with such a crazy schedule he could only see me about 3 times...
Are you committed to losing weight and feeling awesome?
Are you hunting down your goal? My son Axel and I have this game that we play. Don’t freak out, it involves a Nerf gun that shoots foam darts. Axel calls it, “Hunting Daddy.” As you may have guessed, this game involves Axel seeking me out and shooting me with his Nerf gun. Axel loves it, he thinks it great. You see, when we play that game Axel has one singular focus. Axel is committed to doing one thing…”Finding Daddy!” Axel is so committed to his goal of shooting me in the butt, that he will even ask Kenna, his little sister for...

One of my clients failed a medical exam : (…

Are You Potty Trained?
My daughter is potty training… This week we started potty training my daughter Kenna. Do you know how I found out about it? Kenna came running into the studio wearing nothing but I think, My Little Pony “big kid underwear” and proudly displaying them to me :-). She gave me fist bumps, high-fives, and then she then started doing jumping jacks : ). Why, I have no clue? Needless, to say she was super excited and super proud that she was now going to using the big potty, like big kids. And an added bonus was, she didn't have to wear diapers, she...
This last weekend I kind of ate a lot…like Axel my son lol.
This is a confession of Kellen Lake recovering binge eater, also personal trainer :-). So, this last weekend I had french toast, with syrup, and no, not the sugar free syrup, the full sugar syrup with artificial butter flavoring. Yes, terrible choice by me. Feel free to judge and condemn me :-). I also later had ice cream cake, two servings of it, it was delicious. It was the same recipe that my mom used to make when I was a kid. There's a layer of homemade fudge, a layer of cookies and cream ice cream, and then a layer of crunched...
Do you treat yourself like poop?
Are you a Jerk?! When you talk to yourself are you a judgmental jerk? When you stand in front of the mirror and look at yourself what do say? How about when you try on clothes, are you supercritical? In short, how do YOU speak to yourself? Are you a judgmental bully or a caring loving BFF? I am willing to bet that most of you reading this are far meaner and critical to yourself then you would ever dare to be to anyone else...
Did you know Daylight Savings Time Can Help You Lose Weight?
I Hate Daylight Savings Time…Does That Sound Like You Too? As many of you know, or at least I hope most of you know :-), this Sunday we change our clocks because of daylight savings time. Most everyone in the United States will move their clocks forward one hour, which results in more Daylight at the end of each and every day. If you are like most people, this spring forward tradition comes with a touch of dread and agony. it basically means we get one less hour of sleep :-(. However, you can take advantage of this time change and use...
