If I Knew Then What I Know Now…

If I Knew Then What I Know Now…
Posted by Ryan Sullivan on Aug 31st, 2010
If I knew then what I know now… I probably wouldn’t have spent over 10 bucks every time I hit up Taco Bell at 2am. If I knew then what I know how, I probably would have been more active growing up. At the very least I would have jumped into more pickup basketball games. If I knew then what I know now, I would have started a savings plan at age 5. If I knew then what I know now, I would have taken golf lessons. If I knew then what I know now, I think I would have made out with a lot...

10 Ways Losing Weight Changed My Life

10 Ways Losing Weight Changed My Life
Posted by Ryan Sullivan on Aug 30th, 2010
It’s funny because I seriously love the IdealShape program yet I don’t tout it here at NMB as much as I’d like to. I guess it’s a combination of wanting all of you to be reassured that I’m here for the right reasons and just plain old forgetfulness. I’m the guy that would forget his a$$ if it weren’t sewed on. Hopefully after a year of sharing my ups and downs with all of you, you know that I wouldn’t steer you wrong. I’m here to stay and...

Full Disclosure
Posted by Ryan Sullivan on Aug 27th, 2010
It’s been a few days since I blogged. There are a slew of different reasons, but in an attempt to be more transparent , I want to give you an update on some of the latest happenings in my life. My Business Life I started a business a few months ago and business is literally booming. I can’t keep up with orders. It’s a great problem to have, but it’s definitely overwhelming at the same time. I truly wonder how entrepreneurs do it. I know that I have the “I can...

Be Excellent To Each Other

Be Excellent To Each Other
Posted by Ryan Sullivan on Aug 23rd, 2010
It’s funny how a couple of misguided time traveling teenagers learned one of life’s most important lessons at a very young age. Today’s post isn’t so much weight loss oriented as it is lets-try-to-be-good-people oriented. As sappy as this post may come across, I’ve been reminded multiple times lately that treating each other with respect can’t be emphasized enough. There’s a lot of hate in this world and while I am an idealist of sorts and believe it...

Beginning Yoga With Bieber

Well, I still can’t believe I posted this. In my interview with Dr. Fitness and The Fat Guy I may have made a premature judgment about Mr. Justin Bieber. You see I’m really not a fan of his music. At least I didn’t think I was. It turns out however, that if you slow down Bieber’s music by 800 percent, it quickly becomes very zen-like and less i-wanna-poke-holes-in-my-ear-drums-like. If you’d like to download the s u p e r s l o w version of Bieber, you can find it...

Can People See Right Through You?

Can People See Right Through You?
Posted by Ryan Sullivan on Aug 18th, 2010
Transparency is a funny thing. When it comes to brands or bloggers or even friends and family, don’t we tend to gravitate towards the ones that give us a back stage pass into their lives or inner workings? There’s a reason that a “tell-all” book will fly off the shelves while a normal autobiography collects dust. We’re intrigued by the whole story. We want to know that we’re not being misled or duped. We strive for trust. I know some people who have made...

Exercise, Strength, and Support

Exercise, Strength, and Support
Posted by Ryan Sullivan on Aug 13th, 2010
Last week we were encouraged by Miz and MrsFatass to ask the little ones in our lives what they thought of these the words exercise, strength, and support. At first I wanted to interview this guy but he actually got pretty upset that I called him a little person. Go figure. My 3 year old doesn’t talk (yet, it’s only a matter of time), but the 1 year old won’t shut up loves to jibber jabber. It was kind of spur of the moment and my less than quick brain couldn’t recall...

I Love Me Some Fat Guy

I Love Me Some Fat Guy
Posted by Ryan Sullivan on Aug 12th, 2010
As great as getting fit and living healthy are, there’s just something great about the fat guy. You know the guy I’m talking about. He’s not intimidating. He’s generally easy to get along with. He got a good sense of humor and he can bust out the truffle shuffle whenever the party gets slow. He’s Chunk. I’ve yet to meet a soul who didn’t love Chunk. How about a few quotes from “Lawrence” for nostalgia sake. Listen, okay? You guys’ll...

Looks like our blog celebration is going to have to leak into next week too. Aww shucks Quite a bit of discussion has been going on in the blog world lately about how food choices should not...
