Illusions of healthy eating

Healthy eating can be an illusion

Quick guess of where the photos were taken … Subway? Wrong. Whole Foods? Wrong again. Last chance. Google Cafe? (Insert loud buzzer noise here) No my friend, that’s the picture on the wall of the Thornton’s Gas Station near my house. AHHHHH, now it makes sense, right? Cause, you know, all that healthy, fresh food [...]

Problems with dairy? Here’s one way to find out.

Do you have problems with dairy? Maybe you didn’t think so until all the attention dairy started getting with the Vegan and Paleo diet movements. Or maybe you knew you had problems with dairy from the way it made you feel. Or better yet, the way it made you feel when you didn’t have dairy [...]

Warrior Dash results: How I placed in the top 1%

In April, I celebrated my P90X2 results by running my first obstacle race, The Indiana Spartan Race. What turned out to be a comedy of errors was also a good wake-up call. If I were to do another obstacle race, I needed to be better prepared (and not just physically). So I was determined to [...]

Another primary motivation for getting fit

A few years back, we needed some bedroom furniture for our oldest son. Being a fan of financial fitness, we decided we’d get the best bang for our buck at IKEA. But the closest one is an hour and a half from us and I didn’t want to get there and not be able to [...]

I have been humbled by the Indiana Spartan Race

Recently, I participated in my first outdoor obstacle race. This particular race was called The Spartan Race. It consisted of 4 miles of trail (or should I say mud) running with 20+ obstacles interspersed along the way. Obstacles ranged from rope and net climbing, to carrying logs, mud pits, balance beam on logs, swimming, and [...]

P90X2 Results

P90X2 results like this are attainable for you too. And I want to help you for FREE!

My background prior to my P90X2 results… If only I could have gotten P90X2 results like this as a youth. I was always a reasonably athletic kid, but was chubby from late elementary until late high school. But in my early 20s, I got in great shape and really fell in love with fitness, so [...]

One of my primary motivations for getting fit

Everyone has their motivations for getting fit. Ranging from looking good and feeling better to recovering from injuries and preventing them, there are no shortage of reasons to get fit. I certainly have my motivations: I want to honor God with my body. I want to be attractive to my spouse. I want to be [...]

A long obedience in the same direction

Eugene Peterson’s classic  A Long Obedience in the Same Direction looks to the Psalms to find “… encouragement for modern pilgrims as we learn to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community and blessing.” Today is Good Friday, and I am reminded of Christ’s long obedience in the same direction. From birth to [...]

Getting fit means you are already an athlete

Why is it that we tend to only think of people who are famous as ______________. Picasso was a famous artist. But do you paint? I’d say you’re an artist. Aretha Franklin is a famous singer. Do you have a good voice and ever perform for others? I’d say you’re a singer. Bobby Flay is [...]

Should you workout when you are sick?

Should you workout when you are sick? Today I was faced with this very question. You see, I got hit with the crud on Monday and decided to rest on Tuesday rather than workout. Today is Wednesday and I’m feeling better, but nowhere near back to full-health. I’m not opposed to working out when you’re sick, [...]
