True Beauty Starts from Within

True Beauty Starts from Within We have all heard it before… true beauty starts from within. And yet, so many beautiful souls struggle with low self esteem, self worth, and self value! Who is responsible for one’s self esteem, self worth, self love, and self care? How about yourself! Abusive relationships aside, of course. And,Continue reading “True Beauty Starts from Within”

Yes, I eat Pizza

Alex and I were out to dinner at Mexican with new friends this past weekend and as we were waiting to be seated the four of us engaged in conversation about health and fitness. One of the friends, a dedicated mountain runner who engages in events that are 50 miles plus and spends some timeContinue reading “Yes, I eat Pizza”

Why?

If there were awards given for judgment and assumption, there would be so many -maybe not so proud- recipients. Social media created a entirely new platform for judgment and assumption to reach all new levels. Not only did social media create a new platform for judgement and assumption, it also created a new avenue forContinue reading “Why?”

Are you treading water?

It never fails! When I am consulting with a potential new client and I ask about their health and fitness history and then their current habits I hear time and time again… I diet and do cardio. Makes sense, right? After all, to lose weight we must burn more than we take in. To loseContinue reading “Are you treading water?”

Rear View!

Who doesn’t care about their rear view? Both men and women appreciate a nice ass! As much as we appreciate a nice ass, our Glutes are so much more than a sexual turn on. Their function is so, well, not sexual at all. Gluteus Maximus, the largest single muscle in the human body, has theContinue reading “Rear View!”

Eat Fat to Lose Fat

Before you get too excited, this doesn’t mean you can eat French fries, bacon, potato chips, or other high fat processed foods on the daily. Processed foods are not heart smart and do not supportContinue reading “Eat Fat to Lose Fat”

You have to eat to lose…

What we do in the gym with weights sculpts the physique we would like reflecting back in the mirror. WhatContinue reading “You have to eat to lose…”

Happy Enough…

Happy Enough… I just started watching Grace and Frankie, on Netflix. The series begins with two couples meeting for dinner. Grace played by the stunning @JaneFonda and Frankie played by the equally stunning @maryjeantomlin aka Lily Tomlinson, the two wives, are in thought that the dinner has been scheduled by their partners in hopes thatContinue reading “Happy Enough…”

You never know…

You never know… @alexpilson and I were in @wholefoods yesterday picking up some of our smoothie ingredients. And, we were super lucky to get my favorite cashier. I have been in her line many times and each time she has greeted me with a huge smile, positive energy, and an authentic helpful attitude. Yesterday wasContinue reading “You never know…”

What came first…

The chicken or the egg? Don’t worry this post has nothing to do about chickens or eggs… although eggs are an excellent source of protein:) In this case of “what came first”, I am discussing all things aesthetics including desire for improved health and fitness, improved body composition, cosmetics improvements such as Botox, Fillers, andContinue reading “What came first…”
