Well, I was told the other day by a friend that I am in a rut….and I have to say that I more than agree with her analysis….and she is correct in more ways than one, believe me! However, since this blog is for the gym, I will try and stay on topic and not…

Things are going great: you are working out, you are eating right, you have more energy, your sleep is more sound….you are all aboard the wagon….and then suddenly, one little thing knocks you OFF the darn wagon and the next thing you know, not only have you fallen off the wagon, but it is driving…

I am sure we all have friends that we envy because they really can eat whatever they want and not do a lick of exercise, right? Then we have friends who seem to be able to crash diet and lose the desired amount of weight…..and then there are those of us who can cut back…

Sweets are the culprit, but not like you think. We can eat well, be gratified, and make it stop! We have been taught to burn more calories than we eat if we want to lose fat. It seems to me that is impossible. We eat one sandwich and would have to run for three hours.…

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks inasmuch as I have been unable to get to Brick Bodies very often because life has gotten in the way. At least three, sometimes four, and occasionally five times a week, I was able to get to the gym and then suddenly I was getting there only once…

With St. Patty’s Day right around the corner, I got to thinking that alcohol is very sneaky. I know that it has derailed my progress a number of times. First off, we all know booze is nothing more than empty calories, but pair those empty calories with a late night pig out after drinking and…

This beautiful spring morning I sat on my front porch with my dog, some paperwork and a big mug of green tea mixed with a dollup of honey and some real sugar. I snickered to myself because I know how many people would think it incredulous that a purist and a health-freak like me would…

For all those diet books that are out there, I have found ”The South Beach Diet” made the most sense to me. It is an easy read and designed for people on the go as well. Diets for me seemed impossible, seemed like I was always hungry & trying to cook for others that can…
