Trick or Cheat

Friday, October 30th, 2009

It only seems appropriate that at this time of year I have a little discussion on cheating. The temptation is literally at the door. As of Nov. 1st most houses (especially those with kids) and workplaces are overflowing with chocolatey nougaty goodness. There is no holiday quite like Halloween. It is essentially authorized, organized and otherwise socially acceptable begging – but we call it trick or treating.

We dress our kids up and say "look how cute they are – NOW GIVE US CANDY!" By nights’ end the children can take home their bodyweight in candy. After the kids go to bed (if they go to bed) it is time for the parents to exact the "candy tax"- one for you two for me…

I Wasn’t Kidding

Just incase you thought I was full of s^*t when it came to the results of my last 6 Week Body Transformation, I have finally posted  the pix to prove it.

These are all people I trained personally, and yes  these photos were taken *EXACTLY* 6 weeks apart.

Life = Risk

Remember this whenever someone tells you you can’t do something, especially when that someone is you.

189 Reps of “ Why are you so old?”

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

I have been working out with Norm for years now.  7 years actually.  I never really cared that he was old until last week.  That was the first time his age affected me directly

Let me explain.

normbox Last week Norm turned 63. 

He looks WAY  better than any 63 year old I have ever met.   (He calls himself my geriatric poster child.) But as Norm has a fair bit of crazy knocking around in his 63 year old melon he does not think he looks as good as he really does.

Not by the Hair of My Chinny Chin Chin

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

About 2 weeks ago I turned 38.

No biggy, it ain’t 40.  And I actually weathered the birthday storm much better than last year.  But as usual I took stock of my life and all things considered I’m a pretty healthy and happy dude.  I have a great family, a roof over my head and a job I absolutely love.  So yeah, I’m cool.

Then today, after letting my scruff go for a few days longer than usual, a certain sparkle caught my eye.  A subtle,  faint glimmer emanating from my chin area.

It was an f’ing grey hair.

What Are Those Lumps?

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

 

(be sure not to miss the PS at the bottom)

Pia is one of my rock stars.  I only say “my” in that she trains at my facility, but by all accounts she is her own rock star to be sure.

She is everything I love in a client: always  positive, her energy in infectious, dedicated and and hard workers and she always is ready to rock . In general she kicks some serious ass.

Fine, I give in – I’ll do it

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

 

After posting yesterday the “It’s Ready – Are You?” post, I now only have 4 slots open – So if you are procrastinating on changing your life – DON’T!

(If you haven’t, check out the cool free video ===> CLICK HERE)

But apparently everyone wants a shot at winning $500 from me…

You see after I sent the email yesterday I was flooded with emails from around the country, and even one from New Zealand. They all wanted to take part in the 6 Week Body Transformation Program, but obviously could not come in to my facility to train.
