Are People Stopping You From Reaching Your Weight Loss and Fitness Goals?
Yesterday we talked about fear and how it can hold you back from even starting on your weight loss journey. Today, I would like to talk about the, “fear of man” and how it can really slow down your weight loss and fitness progress. I imagine some of you know what I mean when I say “fear of man,” but fear of man refers to allowing others to influence and determine what you do or say, against what you want or know to be right...
Does Fear Control Your Fitness Journey?
Why are you afraid? First off, before we dive into the topic of fear. I would like to say that fear is a God given emotion. In certain situations, fear is a natural emotion. If my kids didn’t fear heights, there would be lots of broken bones, lol. However, so often we let fear hold us back in a way it was not designed to do. I see this expressed in the, “Fear of failure” syndrome that holds many people back in regards to their fitness journey. All to often, people know what they should do, eat right and exercise. A lot...
Are You A Fitness Zombie?
Are you a Fitness Zombie? The other night (Thursday) we went to Mercy Hill Church (best church I have ever been apart of, you must check it out) and Pastor Andrew talked about a church in the Bible called Sardis. Basically, the church at Sardis looked epic from the outside looking in. They even had a good reputation...
Do you want to tone and shape or do you want to build muscle?
The other day, I was listening to a podcast and I heard an ad and it was talking about “toning” and “shaping” the muscle. I really dislike those terms because I believe marketing “geniuses” use those terms to mislead people into buying things that don’t work. The truth of the matter is you can add muscle and you can reduce fat...
Sorry, had to get my Make-up done!

Different Day Same Cra…..
Do you repeatedly make the same mistakes? Do you have someone to keep you accountable? Do you have a plan to be accountable too? Remember when I told you the story of Abraham running off to Egypt to avoid the famine and having his wife Sarah lie and tell everyone she was his sister so they wouldn’t kill him to get to her? Do you also remember it didn’t end well? Well guess what? Abraham made the exact same mistake again. He was going into a new land and told Sarah, “You need to tell everyone you are my sister so they...

NOT GETTING RESULTS STINKS!!!
You know what stinks? Not getting the results you wanted! You know what else stinks? My septic tank situation! I have a really weird house. The sewage for the top part of the house is on the city sewage system. The bottom half of the house is on a septic system. Unfortunately, the bottom half of my house is all plugged up..and you guessed it...
Are YOU the problem?
Do you believe you can? This may be the single most important part of any fitness journey. I would guesstimate that 98% of people fail before they even start ;-(. For you to be highly successful, You Must Believe You CAN! I train an awesome, highly motivated client named Dee who lost over 50 lbs since last January. I am paraphrasing Dee, but this was her thought. Dee knew I could help her, she also knew that the best training and coaching in the world would not make any difference unless she believed she could do it. Dee knew she had to be...
