I would blog about this on the autism site , but this is more about my resolve with food than Logan's new diet. Just for those who aren't familiar, Logan is on a GFCF (gluten free and casein free) diet. All of his food is now cooked naturally, on the stove, fresh, no microwaving, etc. We use...

I'm posting some advice I gave to a client in our private forums. I feel most of us have gone through this at some time or another. It's natural to be jealous of someone's success. What is a waste of your time is letting them have all the success when you have ZERO excuses to be just as successful...

My girls work so hard. They feel like they are charging ahead, doing things right most of the time (but they haven't journaled their food), getting in (almost) every workout, working out (pretty) hard, etc. Notice a trend here? They will come to the boards, frustrated and upset because the scale...

A client posed a problem to me that I think almost every person can relate to: eating out and the nutritional dangers it can pose. Everyday she eats out at work and finds it hard to say no to going or once there finds it hard to order “safe” foods. Here is her comment and I think it is right on with...

I am proud of myself. I had a cold, a right hip that is just not up to running, and a left hamstring that is tight as a drum. A year ago I would have easily pushed through the pain of the hip, maybe throw a stretch or two in for the hamstring, and forget about the cold. Taking days off are out of the...

The word diet is almost as bad as dropping the “F-Bomb” these days. The lastest terms are lifestyle, nutritional plan, eating strategy…but who are we fooling? Whatever you call it, isn’t it really a diet? The word diet ’s primary definition is “food and drink considered in terms of its qualities, composition...

Back when I was a corporate trainer I had the opportunity to go through Situational Leadership II. It was a great program that I taught to managers and it dawned on me last week how applicable it is to the fat loss journey. Many of my girls are in different stages of the fitness lifestyle; beginners...

“Eating healthy doesn’t take any more time. It’s just choosing better.” Michael Kirkbride For years I was under the delusion that having a healthy lifestyle was hard or it was too time consuming. Working with clients and loyal Phattie Phollowers, as one girl put it, has shown me how easy it is to make...

When I grew up I remember going on diet after diet trying to lose weight. That was back in the day (late 80’s to early 90’s) where you tried to eat as lowfat as possible, filling up on sugary, fat free food items, avoiding eggs like the plague, and Lord help you if you ate more than three times a day...

Chris Rock did a comedy special years ago where he was joking on men who brag… “I takes care of my kids.” “I pay my child support.” “I ain’t ever been to jail.” He said in a way only Chris Rock can say, “What? You are bragging about the things you are SUPPOSED TO DO!?!” “You are SUPPOSED TO take care...
