I hear a lot of things in the gym. A lot of it I expect. I live in a pretty small area. A county with 17 towns has a population of 35K people in it. Doesn’t get a heck of a lot smaller than that. Stereotypes are huge here, but the minds are small. A […]
Read MoreI don’t know about everywhere else, but Spring finally decided to spring into action here on the coast in Maine at about 5:02 p.m. last Thursday. It’s decided to stick around, and now the weathermen are crying that we NEED rain. Please, after an entire month of it and a good snowfall winter? My quarry […]
Read MoreThere are workout programs out there for everyone under the sun these days. Everything from a program just to get you moving more to the all intense workouts of getting ready for Tough Man competitions. But, because of your body makeup and type, you may not always get the results you were intending to find. […]
Read MoreI like to make a lot of “one dish” kind of meals at dinner. Mostly because it’s really easy to prep, super quick to make and with my outrageously busy schedule? Perfect for my lifestyle.

Read MoreI have been asked countless times over the past 11 years why I don’t eat “paleo”. I’ve had people say that clean eating is just the same. For starters, no, it’s not. And second, I try to steer clear of “my way is better than yours” disputes when it comes to food. Diets are dangerous […]
Read MoreBecause it’s Friday, it’s going to a a two-fer kind of posting day… Crockpot cooking can really make or break you. And living in New England where we have those snowy winter days where you just want to throw a bunch of stuff into that crockpot, then curl up on the couch with your blanket […]
Read MoreI could simply just say – because. And leave it at that, but then what good would that do? One key thing to the “art” of clean eating is: fresh is better. Typical guidelines for this kind of eating is 5 ingredients or less. If you can’t pronounce it, you really shouldn’t be eating it. […]
