A sad but powerful story about 6 year old Hattie May Wiatt
Today I am going to share with you a pretty powerful story about a little girl who made a huge impact in her community and the world simply because she was willing to share and sacrifice. It is a little sad, but powerful! I found this story while listening to the Bible in One Year App. here is the story: Hattie May Wiatt, a six-year-old girl, lived near Grace Baptist Church in Philadelphia, USA. The Sunday school was very crowded. Russell H. Conwell, the minister, told her that one day they would have buildings big enough to allow everyone to attend....
Confession…I ate Peanut Butter Pie and a Brownie…AND…I LOST WEIGHT!
So last night, my wife and went our Community Group Dinner. Every Tuesday there is a group of us from Winston-Salem who attend Mercy Hill Church and we hang out, talk about life, etc… If you would like to check it out just rely and let me know. I would love to bring you as my guest ;-). Any way, last night we had our monthly dinner and at that dinner I ate peanut butter pie and half a brownie. I also had rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, and a small roll. Guess what...
Will Weight Loss Make You Happy?
My awesome wife, Beth, like’s to care for flowers. As result, we have 7 kinds of various plants inside of the house. The one that I think is the most unique is one that only blooms when it is under stress and deprived of water. We actually have two of these plants, see the photo below. The one that is under stress is blooming awesomely, but the one that is “healthy” just looks mundane. This made me think about humanity. How many of us look like we have it all together? On the outside we are kicking butt and taking names....
Lindsey lost 18 lbs and she lives 4 hours away…
This last weekend we went to the Zoo. It was epic, all the animals were out and about. It has been so raining for so long I think everyone was ready for some sunshine, especially my kids. The only issue I have with the Zoo is it is an hour away, which makes for a 2 hour round trip. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could just teleport there like in Star Trek? Likewise, wouldn't it be awesome if you could just teleport to a training session instead of having to drive there? Imagine the time you would save! With that...
Six Fundamental Truths of Getting and Staying Lean.
I just got off the phone with a supplement salesman who wants me to invest in buying some supplements to sell to my clients. I currently sell ZERO supplements to my clients because the truth of the matter is 99.9% of the supplements out there are just expensive pee and worthless. In fact, there are only three that I currently recommend, protein, caffeine, and creatine. You can get protein from meat or even protein powder (I use and recommend Quest protein), you can get caffeine from coffee or tea (I like Earl Grey), and creatine you can only get as...

Scale stopped moving?
Do you freak out when you are eating right and working out and the scale just stops moving down? If you said, “No” you are either a liar lol, or a dude who is trying to pack on the pounds. I got a message from one of my clients who was worried because her weight loss had slowed down after the course of 4 weeks. In the first 4 weeks she had lost 10 lbs, which was 7.5% of her total weight, which is really good. Now, in week 5, she has been stuck at the same number all week and...

Is constantly changing up your workout routine a good idea?
I will answer this question with a little story about my son Axel. As you know, last week was Valentine's Day, lots of chocolate. As such, Axel needed to write down all his classmates names into their individual cards. Axel is 5, but he still in preschool and he really doesn't enjoy writing his own name, much less his classmates names. As such, Beth broke down this card writing process into tiny little repetitive steps. Beth had Axel write down five names, on five different cards, once a day, every day, until he had finished. If Beth had changed up...
