Rise Again From The Struggle

Obviously, this starts with a little satire, but the rest is solid 😂

Look, you don't need to get up and do a rigorous workout, meditate for an hour, or cold plunge. There's no need to face plant into …

The world today loves to over complicate things. Why does everyone think science has it all figured out and need 35 studies to prove something before they believe it to be true?

Eating is one of those…

Some people really don't think things through.

Yes, Ozzy did some things that are ill advised. He also sought treatment to stop those things and was largely successful for most of the last several dec…

I asked God to help me get better, so he gave me an idea to do just that. I already committed to doing it in my head when I realized I underestimated the total distance by almost a full mile.

I chose …

Harsh truth. It doesn't matter what happened in the past. You still made decisions. You still refuse to let go of the narrative. You still allow someone else to reign over your life.

I've gone through…

Consistency is definitely a superpower.

My daily overhead presses and bicep curls felt way more crisp today than yesterday. I've been doing 50 a day with a sandbag for the last few weeks, and today wa…

No matter how well trained you are or how many times you've done something, you will be tried over and over again mentally.

This happened to me again today. During my run, I kept trying to back out. I…

Movement and progress are not the same. You can do more than someone and not advance as fast. How is that possible?

It's simple. If you just show up and do the thing for a while, you will make some pr…

Your scale is a tool, not a trap.

I weigh myself daily when I'm home. The number tends to be the same when I'm not trying to gain or lose weight. But sometimes it's not.

If it's low and I'm not trying …

Where there's a will, there's a way.

I was reminded of this today as I was working to complete a part of a challenge I've taken on to better myself physically, mentally, and spiritually. At first, my …

Choices were made... most of them worked out 🤣

Alright, I did lose focus for a split second and busted my ass, but I'm fine. My wrist hurts a little, but that's better than the back of my head getting…

If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.

You have to believe in yourself more than anyone else will. It doesn't matter what their title or experience is.

The human spirit is much str…

Nothing will change if you don't believe it first. You can be the exception. You can be the "outlier" people talk about. The outlier is usually the person who just chose not to believe the expert who…

Gross exaggeration incoming 🤣

For real, though, things like this are the reason I do this. Your health is an individual experience. Yes, the masses and the averages can give you a basic idea of what C…

Most people think you can't train your body to recover faster. That's because "experts" tell you to take it easy when something hurts. But motion is lotion to your body.

When you regularly stop moving…

No chance I would have believed these words would be coming from me, even in April.

Today, I did an hour long, 5-mile RECOVERY RUN! What?! This is what happens when you set your identity and start act…

Adversity hit hard for me today. Here's how I handled it and got my best ski resort Spartan time.

Not even a quarter of the way up the initial one mile climb, my body decided it wasn't going to go at …

My training is getting me up the ranks, but I'm not there yet.

I can simultaneously be happy with my progress and understand it's not enough to be where I want.

That's not a bad thing. I want more from…

I have an early morning coming up, but I'm excited to put my training to the test!

We'll see if all those hills I've done help me out this weekend. I know one thing, my training won't make this harder…

Men are way more emotionally intelligent than we get credit for. That's because people are confused. It's not emotionally intelligent to constantly show your emotions.

In fact, that's the complete opp…
