Do some Spring Cleaning and get these words out of your vocabulary today! They’ll only harm your progress! Deprivation – Even though I had to quit the bacon for a while in my personal journey, deprivation has such a negative mental impact. Many of us spend so much time focusing on the things we...

We have a lot to cover in today’s post and only a little bit of time. Let’s get right to it! Sidelined I haven’t really brought it up much in the last few days because I don’t want to be a whiner, but I’ve been sidelined since Wednesday. I haven’t been able to workout at...

Alas, there is not a story of forgetting my pants in this blog post. If that’s what you’re looking for you can go back in time and relive it with me. As a matter of fact there isn’t much of a story at all to go along with today’s post. Today is all business and all about spring...

In the same way that Justin Timberlake brings back his sexy I’ll be bringing back my focus this week. I have to admit that not meeting with a trainer twice a week has made maintaining my focus more difficult than I had anticipated. I’ve been doing pretty well but I also know that I can do...

Complacent – pleased, esp. with oneself or one’s merits, advantages, situation, etc., often without awareness of some potential danger or defect; self-satisfied: I’ll be honest, I’m proud of how far I’ve come. Losing a bunch of weight has made me really happy. I’m more energetic, I’m...

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seemed to go right? This is a story about one of those very days. I must admit that things have been going pretty smoothly for me up to this point. It’s definitely been hard work, but I haven’t really experienced too many setbacks. At least that...
