One of my pet peeves in group cycling are the people who don't want to put any resistance on the bike and either cruise for the hour or go at top speed but don't realize that this is the equivalent of lifting 1 pound weights for an hour. Now sure if you're severely out of ... read more >
In my last Progress Journal post, I talked about how I wanted to switch things up. I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do but I felt like I needed a change in my own eating routine. While at IDEA PT West I attended a fabulous sports nutrition session and the presenter talked ... read more >
Well I survived the Geneen Roth workshop. Thank you Katniss Everdeen for the inspiration. We're killing FEARS one by one this year! We're shooting them down! The experience was quite fantabulous! I felt that I got a lot out of it. I didn't break down into hysterics and neither did many in the audience. It ... read more >
Nutrition and Workout Update I'm still following a Paleo nutrition program Monday - Friday evening and then after that I tend to loosen up. The workouts have changed a bit. I have some early morning clients now so I haven't been working out early in the morning these past 2 weeks. I'm coming up on ... read more >

Was I upset? No. There was a time ... read more >
This being the second round of the Whole30 is easier than the first round because I know what to expect and I know how to prepare. I'm making it a point to try at least ONE new recipe per week. This week was Melissa's Chicken Hash from the book. For those in my Whole30 Group ... read more >
One of my Goals this year was to be more consistent with sharing my own journey on this blog. I won't be doing the daily selfies and telling you about each and every one of my workouts because: a) That's not my thing b) After a while you just feel like saying, "Nobody cares" c) ... read more >
Recently I saw a post from someone I highly respect in the health and fitness industry who said that he wasn't a fan of the Whole30 because he felt it was too restrictive for no reason. I disagree with him. As someone who has done the super restrictive diets that are all about counting, weighing, ... read more >
