  • Be Thankful for The Difficult People

    Earlier this week I found out that someone that I am not fond of has been hired to do some work at one of the company’s that I am doing consulting work for.  When I said I am “not fond of”, It’s really not even close to covering how much I would prefer never seeing…

  • Snow Day Means Fun For the Kids

    An impending snow storm has the kids at home again and allowed me to spend some extra time after my workout to work on mobility and have time in the sauna. My hips flexors have been hurting for a few days. I have never had issues before with them quite like this, so I’m not…

  • Moving On & Simplifying Your Life

    This has been a really long week – lots of great things, lots of life happening. I can honestly say I am finally starting to feel better about everything – my spirits are re-igniting. It’s about friggin’ time too. I don’t like to be in the dumps and the people around me don’t appreciate it…

  • Life Happens So Always Look Again

    The past month or so have been odd — my son’s friend’s father died over the holidays and this week, my coach, Randy, at Highbar had to leave abruptly on Monday – unfortunately his father passed away in his sleep sometime during the night. Life happens and you never know what’s next. I was talking…

  • A New Family Member

    No name yet for my beautiful niece born Jan 2 — who looks like my brother and sister when they were babies. I am so overjoyed and filled with happiness seeing her and I can’t wait to meet her.  

  • Happy Birthday Mom!

    I have started to dehydrate some fruit again and a lot of people have been asking me what dehydrator I use. I don’t have a fancy one — you can find ones that dry out the fruit in a matter of hours. Mine is a basic model and I prep the fruit before I go…

  • Don’t Underestimate Your Mental Fitness

    I probably should have taken a rest day today, but I knew I would not be able to get to the gym tomorrow AM. I am stubborn sometimes and don’t listen to my own advice. My shoulders are toast and it is probably one of the reasons why I literally HATED today’s workout. I had…

  • Learning How to Eat Paleo

    Busy day but I wanted to share a few things I think everyone should read and also just mention something that happened to me yesterday. I stopped in to Wegmans to pick up a few things and while I was heading towards the Gluten Free/Natural foods area – I noticed this woman who was furiously…

  • Fourth Grade Field Trip to Jamestown

    Today I accompanied Nate and his fourth grade class to Jamestown, VA for his school field trip. It’s not the top thing on my list to do but I could tell how much he wanted me to do it. And other than the constant noise from the kids on the bus, I had a great…

  • Russell Brand asks Why Not You?

    I gotta say that I love Russell Brand – he’s wacky, screwed up in so many ways, but sharp and smart as a whip and because of that, I just think he’s awesome. He has a way of getting his point across in such a coherent way that hits the point where it counts. I…
