Eat healthily, be healthy. Eat unhealthily, be unhealthy. It seems simple enough, but what all does it mean to be healthy? What happens when healthy behaviors trigger unhealthy actions? A while back, I briefly talked about struggling with switching from paleo to Eat to Perform and had all sorts of mixed emotions going into it. […]

First off, I appreciate the overwhelming number of positive comments regarding my last post about the haters I recently experienced. You all were awesome at defending me and saying just the right things to outweigh the hurtful comments, and is makes me love my community, online and offline, that much more.

Forever ago I started a post as part of a monthly blogging challenge (September, 2012 to be exact). I wrote and re-wrote the post and tried to get my thoughts out how I best wanted to say what I wanted to say, but nothing came out right. So there it sat, collecting dust in my […]

Some of my most favorite bloggers are participating in this challenge, and a couple are even leading their own. Basically, participants dish out some amount of money (average is $25), and it gets collected into the DietBet pot. The challenge runs for 28 days, and anyone that […]

I’m still trying to figure out how I should be eating, or what I should be eating, and how much of it I should be eating. For the next week or so though I ‘m not going to completely stress about it as I wads during my Whole30 and just go back to stress-free eating like I […]

In my attempt to gain weight while I am trying to put on muscle during my StrongLifts 5x program, I set a goal this month to focus on eating more. Since the beginning of this month, I have lost 2lbs. What the heck. I want to attribute a portion of this to my fear […]

A typical workday for me includes a lot of snacking. I get bored, I snack. Not like it has ever caused an issue for me because of my fortunate inability to gain weight, but it has been a bad habit. Since I started my lifting program, I have been trying to clean up what I’m […]
