Rise Again From The Struggle

It's time to try this sugar fasting craze.

I got my sweets prepped today, and I'm ready to go.

In reality, as long as I'm in a calorie deficit, I will burn fat. In theory, not having protein will force…

When I tell you I'm excited to hear your wins, this is what I mean.

This was a big win for my client. In the past, this would have taken him months at best to get back on track.

This time, he accepted …

As I come across new trends and methods, I like to get a few takes and perspectives on them before I try them out myself or tell other people to try them out.

I've heard a few takes on this that makes…

In two months' time, I've made pretty significant progress in my run times.

I know my numbers aren't elite level, but I'm also not just training my running skills. I'm still spending more time on my s…

This is just another reminder not to overthink it.

Do you want to be stronger? Lift heavy things. Do you want to be more functionally strong? Lift awkward things.

Dig a big hole and refill it. Chop woo…

I used to say this, too, so my stance has changed over time.

When you fake it, you ultimately know you are telling a lie.

This means you know deep down you are not in integrity with yourself.

Instead, s…

Life only makes sense in reverse.

That's because we can never know an outcome before it happens. We can plan, prepare, and think things through, but the outcome is never in our control.

Things don't al…

Today was fun. I wanted to test my ability to run at the higher speeds I'm working on with sore legs.

I wasn't sure how it would go. I knew my nervous system was in better shape today, so it was worth…

One small change to my workout tonight, and man, did it make a difference!

Not only were the box squats harder because of the distance change. The mental piece was way harder than I expected.

I had to …

Sanding isn't the most enjoyable part of building things, but it's one of the most important parts to get a good finish.

What does that have to do with life? Everything.

Anything worth doing will have …

So... which one is it for you?

Do you make every excuse not to get something in?

Or do you figure out the best version of progress, no matter how small that is?

When you sit around waiting for the perfe…

Want to guide behaviors around you?

Point out the positives more often. Address them and give them some love.

People tend to remember the things you say, so when you point out the negatives more often,…

This one was brutal for sure, lol.

I saw an interview with the guy who got me into sandbags this week and wanted to try this out. It sucked! 30 minutes of carrying a sandbag without letting it hit the…

When you change your sleep schedule on the weekend, you just wreck your body's rhythm.

You've been conditioned to believe the weekends are for staying up late and sleeping in. Yet, that's exactly why …

If you infer intent behind someone's words or actions, it's your resounding responsibility to get clarity or be accountable for the results of your actions afterwards.

This happens so frequently. You …

I almost messed up my run today by not listening to my system.

It's easy to get in the mode that every time you need to do better than last time.

But that's not always possible. The better you get, the…

I know, it's not blazing fast for top runners, but it's the fastest mile I've run in decades!

I'm extremely happy with the progress I've made in my running times. It didn't take as long as I expected,…

Skipping a meal or two and going to be hungry isn't going to kill you.

In fact, it might actually help heal you.

The reality is that a lot of people overconsume food regularly.

We're taught to eat three…

Lots of lessons learned today and lots of mental game work!

I really had to be proactive on my thoughts today so I could stay locked in and focused on finishing the race.

Years ago, aside from the heal…

Race day is upon us!

I have no idea what I'm doing, and there are way more rules for this race than my Spartan races, lol.

I'll figure it out. I'm just getting the experience this time around and seein…
