I workout with weights normally 3-4 times a week.  I love my health club because it has all of the amenities that I may need, and I feel at home at the gym.  I focus so much on being comfortable because when I go to the gym, I understand that I am there for one purpose, [...]

Having goals is really what separates success from failure.  Of course, I am not saying that you will never succeed if you don’t have goals, but it makes them much easier to achieve if you have written and documented goals.  It is important to have goals for all areas of your life.  I’ll admit that [...]

Let’s talk about change.  Change can mean many things to many people.  But whatever your definition, change indicates that something stops happening and something else begins.  How profound yet how simple.  Every minute of every day, our bodies and our mind are changing.  Sometimes for the worst, but hopefully, we are changing for the better.  [...]

It’s the day after Thanksgiving, and I have had my fill of turkey and all the sides I could eat.  At my house, when we sit down for our meal, we each take a turn proclaiming exactly for what we were grateful.  This year, nearly everyone said “family”, a few said “good food”, and one [...]

How long can we officially have a strong or very strong feeling of animosity towards another human being?  That really was just a long-winded version of “how long can we hate someone?”  I wrote and erased that phrase 3 times before I decided it was really just too strong of one to use.  Do we [...]

I read a great blog today entitled, “Who’s to Blame for America’s Obesity Epidemic?”  I’ll admit when I read the title, my first reaction was one of playing a devil’s advocate.  I have read and heard so much about people suing fast food restaurants, people suing school-districts, people suing soft-drink companies for their own health [...]

A friend and business associate of mine is currently going through a very difficult time in his life, especially in his marriage.  His wife asked him today (actually more like demanded) that he leave their house and find somewhere else to live.  He and I talk frequently, and he is one of my fitness-training partners [...]

A good friend and I were having lunch today, and we began to discuss what we were eating.  I had a piece of grilled tuna on a whole wheat bun with a side salad, and he had a mushroom, bacon, swiss, and sautéed onion hamburger with onion rings and a soft-drink.  On his fourth bite [...]

I got the idea of today’s post as I was gazing at the tops of my hands.  Now of course this doesn’t sound so unusual; however, to better understand where I was, picture if you can, the shape of the letter “c”.  Then turn that “c” on it’s legs so that it forms the shape [...]

Let me say that before I begin this blog, I have heard it all before when it comes to my weight.  I can be classified as an ectomorph. For those who are not familiar with that term, it means that I have a slim, linear body type (as opposed to an endomorph, who has a [...]
