  • Grabbing for Stomach Share

    I came across a few really interesting things on the web yesterday: Read this: The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food Interesting information about companies and the quest for“stomach share” — the amount of digestive space that any one company’s brand can grab from the competition. Today, one in three adults is considered clinically obese, along…

  • Face Reading: What Your Face Tells About You

    The other day I was flipping through channels and came across a show that was highlighting Chinese Face Reading and how it can help diagnose health problems. I don’t know about you, but I had never heard about it but it makes total sense. Think about it — we all have heard that acne is…

  • Don’t be Afraid of the Dark Meat

    I took an unplanned rest day this morning. I had two very tough workouts on Sunday and Monday (Both previous CrossFit Open workouts) and my shoulders/traps hurt, which makes for the perfect time for me to hurt myself –so I took a rest. I am considering going in for a later workout and seeing how…

You’ll Be More Productive More and more of us find ourselves unable to juggle overwhelming demands and maintain a seemingly unsustainable pace. Paradoxically,…

  • Rest When Your Body Tells You

    Sometimes you need a reminder of how far you have come to keep your mind from focusing on the recent slip ups.  Look at this pic from 2009. I look bloated and puffy.  This was the start of me getting healthy. I was working out often but didn’t change my diet. I look so different…

  • Find the Best Possible Diet For You

    So I was considering doing that three day cleanse that I posted late last week but the more I talked with people and thought about it — all I need to do is get my head in the game and start eating clean again. Coach Chef from CrossFit Rubicon gave me some good stuff to…

  • To Cleanse or Not…

    Last night, I was out to dinner with some of the staff from CrossFit Impavidus. We went to Mortons for steak and good times with people that are family. This week has been tough physically for me. I have fell off the wagon in regards to my nutrition. My birthday was the straw that broke the…
