  • Stay Hungry My Friends

    It is so cold out there this morning but even that wasn’t the reason I took a rest day. I noticed yesterday that I was just not into the workout. My body was fatigued but it was more my head. My head wasn’t in the game. Whenever that happens, I know my body is tired…

  • Clutter in the form of a Caboodle

    Even though we had a day off, I still got my butt up and headed for the workout. I personally find that deviating too much from a routine is a recipe for disaster. It’s like a gateway drug — before you know it, you are making excuses for not getting any exercise in and you…

  • How People Change

    To go along with my post about Change: How People Change The problem, of course, is that no matter how emotionally satisfying these tirades may be, they don’t really work. You can tell people that they are fat and that they shouldn’t eat more French fries, but that doesn’t mean they will stop. You can make all sorts of…

  • Fake it Until You Become It

    Fake it till you make it is a phrase all of us have heard before. But what if that’s not enough — What about Fake it until you BECOME it? This Tedtalk from Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy talks about power positions and Body Language. It’s a really interesting look into the science behind…

  • Caution: Internal Construction

    The Dance of Relationships I have been undergoing some self prescribed internal construction lately. I am looking into new strategies and ways to react to certain situations and people to help me improve some aspects of my personality and the way I behave when faced with them that seem to get me into some pickles…
