Happy friday! Before we get into the weekend, I thought I would share a little words of wisdom. Have you guys heard the story about the rat race? I want to break it down for you today if you haven't, because it's powerful. So they did a study, where they had two different groups of rats. The first group were picked because…

Well, my wife and daughter are off to New York! Such a huge exciting moment for her. If you would have told me years ago that my daughter would be competing in a Nationals Indoor track meet, I probably would have shrugged it off and said "sure, we'll see" half heartedly. She will be competing in the long jump, triple jump,…

I really like your outlook on your situation. This is a powerful why and I am sure you will overcome your obstacles. If I can support you in any way, please let me know. Feel free to send me a friend request!

5! I know you have you hands full!

Two days of eating cleaner so far and feeling pretty good. Just 12 more days to go.

Another successful workout today. Short one, but I good one. I was still sore from yesterdays set. How are you doing? Are you closer to your goals?

Good morning! How was your weekend? I hope well. Mine was quiet for a change. It was nice. Here is a simple little challenge for you. Have you ever played the 5 Why's Game? If you have kids, I bet they have. ;) Do this for a goal you're thinking about striving for. Ask yourself why. Then ask yourself why again.... Do this…

Good morning! I love seeing new posts on here. It's so awesome and inspiring. Not only to me, but others as well. Thank you. How is your Monday going thus far?

Happy Friday!!! Well, yesterday ended up being a rest day anyway. No worries. Today I got in a good Plyo workout, so I am good to go. I'll have running club tomorrow, and then I should probably do some good stretching or Yoga on Sunday. I think I actually have a weekend of no events for the kids, so I may just get to…

Well, so far the calendar has said it is supposed to be a rest day for me, but normally I save that for Sundays. However, so far, I have not had the chance to do anything. I took the night off so I could go see my daughters orchestra concert, and have spent all morning doing bills and reworking my budget. Kind of sucks…

At the bottom of each post, you should see somethng that says Quote. Click that and it will automatically put that persons post in the reply box above your comments. :)

Hey, it's a start. I kinda look at scheduling my workouts and doing them like emergency situations on a plane. The flight attendant always tells you that if your O2 mask falls from the ceiling, and you are sitting next to a child, put your's on first, then the child's. If you can't get yourself taken care of, how can you…

It's seems to be happening faster and faster.

30 minutes of strength conditioning, followed by 2 miles of jogging! Today was a good day!

How old are your kids?

Setting goals is crucial to achieving results, and can provide you with focus, motivation, and a means of measuring your progress. If you haven't set them already, you can use these tips below to get started.

Happy Monday. Today I started the Master's Hammer 30 day calendar. This is just half of the program I have done for the past 60 days. I wanted to see what it would be like to do just Sagi's half. We shall see how it goes. How was your weekend? Mine was busy celebrating my daughters 15th birthday. A few more weeks and my…

Celebrate your victories, no matter how small! When I first got back in to taking care of myself, it was hard. I would bust my butt for an hour each day, sweating all over the place, getting nauseous, fatigued, sore and just completely wiped out. Day after day, week after week I would put myself to the test. And at the end…

Finally feeling back to normal. I got a good nights sleep, which I desperately needed. This morning's workout was Hammer and Chisel-Max Hammer strength. One of my favorites from this program. 60 seconds or pre fatiguing the muscle, then following it up with a max weight heavy set. good stuff. What was your workout today?

Got up at 5:30 this morning for a meeting. Blah. Been up since and didn't get to bed until 12:30 -01:00 last night. No bueno. One of my peeps gave me an energy drink. Normally I don't drink these, but I am really dragging and have to be able to drive home still tonight after shift. Ugh. Ready for this day to be over.

Thank you. she is super excited and nervous. My wife more so than her I think. lol

Let's talk about stretching. You have your routine down! You wake up, do a little cardio, then hit the road for a nice run or the gym for the weights! You lift, push, pull and feel great. Maybe, you felt really good and increased the weights just a touch to really get a good workout in or ran an extra mile. The next day,…

Did interval training today. I gotta try and get my speed back. The only way to do that is to run fast. So I did 6; 20-30 second sprint intervals during mile 2. I was pretty much toast after that for the 3rd mile. Happy Tuesday!

Ok, somehow most of last week is a blur. I'm not sure what's going on. One minute it was Monday, the next...Monday again. What the heck happened. I know I have had a lot on my mind and a lot going on, but seriously, did I just lose a week? On a different note, my daughter competed in the USATF Regional Indoor meet this…

Today I spent some quality time with a good friend of mines son. He is 17, made a lot of bad choices over the past year, to the point where he was expelled from school, with no chance of graduating. He volunteered to attend a program for at risk kids to earn his GED and get his life back in order. He and his parents asked…

Mine is a sleeve as well. I am a sucker for thin mints and samoas. Followed closely by the peanut butter ones. Not the tagalong ones though, the others. I also decided I would try the new smore's ones. More than likely, I'll get one out of each box, and my wife and kids will devour the rest. lol

I got out for a nice 3.2 mile run this morning. Had to convince myself to get it done. Glad I did now though.

Have you ever been stressed out? That's a silly question. Sure you have. Especially if you have kids. :) Everyday something in our lives will stress us out. Work, home, or school in particular. But did you know that stress can effect the entire body? Yeah, not just make you irritable, tired or anxious, your entire body!…

Remember when Girl Scout cookies were only like 1.50 a box. Those were the days. Which reminds me. I think I have to pay a coworker for some at work today :)

I may have to look into that.
