Today my baby boy is 9-weeks old, and it’s been an amazing experience thus far.  Amazing as it is, I’m still not getting quality sleep.  As many of you parents out there have already experienced you practically get little to no sleep until your baby finally settles into a consistent sleeping schedule. I’ve been averaging [...]

WOW!  It seems last weeks theme of TV shows focused on “HOPE”. At least that’s what I think. Last Tuesday was the Biggest Loser finale and So You Think You Can Dance semi-finale.  Last night was an episode of Extreme Home Makeover. On So You Think You Can Dance 28 year old Legacy Perez was [...]

The holiday crunch starts this week, and it’s about that time where people either get ridiculously strict with their fitness and fat loss plan or take the easy way out and say “To hell with it, I’m gonna wait till the New Year”.  The latter never fails to surprise me, because there really are a [...]

When you’re busy and on the go it gets tough to eat on a set schedule sometimes. This is where proper “on the go” food planning is absolutely crucial in order to prevent hunger strikes.

I admit, I was a carboholic.  A crappy carb lover to be exact.  I used to love eating pancakes, french toast, and cookies on a daily basis.  It’s way too easy to get hooked on the sweet stuff, because you feel so good while you’re eating it, but then you pay for it big time [...]

Feeling low on energy during your work shift?  Find yourself chugging down on coffee or red bull’s?  This is usually the case for the individuals who have the rough work shifts, such as the graveyard shift, shifts that rotate every few weeks, or if you’re job has you travelling 90% of the time and you’re [...]

It’s about three weeks until beach season kicks in.  It seems like just yesterday it was the New Year and everyone was getting started on their fitness resolutions.  At this point, you’re in one of two positions: you either took action and made some killer changes physically and mentally, or you took action and then [...]
