5 Tips To NOT Gain Weight This Summer!

Jul 01, 2020
It's pretty common to struggle with your weight during the summer season due to irregular schedules, travel, young kids at home from school or general exhaustion of constantly "trying" to eat healthy! So, I hope the following tips can help you stay on track and still allow you to have the joyful times of the season.

My Top 5 Tips To Stay Fit/Healthy Over Summer:

1. WORKOUT SCHEDULE: Put your workout in your calendar like a doctor's appointment you would not miss. And I HIGHLY recommend it's done first thing in the morning (maybe before the kids wake up), so that there is no excuse later to not do it. We are all too tired at the end of a summer day. If you are failing miserably at getting in your workouts right now, for sure join the Body Zone...

Have you always wanted that perfect 6 pack? Flat abs? Sculpted core? And perhaps you have bought every 6 Pack Chiseling DVD on the market and yet still your abs look exactly the same? If that is you or you are simply looking for the key tips to get that 6-pack started, then these tips are for you.

Breakfast Is More Than a Meal!

(If you prefer to listen to this blog as a podcast, go to Podcast Episode #147: CLICK HERE and SUBSCRIBE to the Earn That Body Podcast!

Yes, Yes, Yes to breakfast! I know you have heard it before but I do 100% believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And for all of you “intermittent fasters” guess what…the period you finish your last meal at night until your first meal in the morning is fasting. And in my opinion that is the only fast your body needs. It’s why breakfast is called breakfast; it means BREAK the FAST.

Now, why is breakfast so important? First of all, as I just said, you have not eaten for hours and hours and your body needs fuel when it wakes up. You need to start viewing healthy food as fuel for your body. A...

How to Conquer Sugar Addiction! 5 Steps!

Jul 29, 2019

I think people are being conned into thinking sugar is the devil.  Sugar is really not the problem; the quantity of sugar is the true issue. We live in a time when weight loss, fad diets and supplements have become a billion-dollar industry! And therefore, programs are trying to convince you that you need THEIR diet, THEIR food, THEIR extreme way of eating in order to control your weight and your health. But this is causing people to eat artificial foods/sweeteners, tons of supplements that are not even properly regulated by the FDA (check out podcast episode #86 or CLICK HERE for more details about why you should be very cautious about supplements) and pushing people into such states of deprivation that they all binge on that sugar eventua...

Vanity Over Health?

Let me guess…. you think I don’t understand what it is like to want to lose weight. You think I looked fit my whole life, and that I simply don’t know what it feels like to want the weight off now. Well, it’s not true. That being said, I have never been obese and I’m sure at my heaviest I would only be seen as “slightly” chubby, if that. But that does not mean I didn’t want to look better and feel amazing like all the skinny girls. And honestly, if you want to hear a true story about me and Emotional Eating in my bluest days, do listen to the Earn That Body Podcast Episode #124 (CLICK HERE!)

In those days when I craved be super skinny, I tried all the diets too. My graduate sc...

If Your Diet Is Working, You Will See These Things!

Apr 25, 2019

People think the only way to know if a “diet” is working is by the number on the scale. But there are in fact some things that are just as important.  It is definitely my job to help people lose weight, but it’s not actually my #1 focus. I want to get people in the best HEALTH of their life. In that process, they generally lose weight. But these 11 things are even more important to me and should be important to you.

Tips to NOT Gain Weight Over the Holidays!

Apr 25, 2019

If you are trying to watch your waistline, then I know how difficult and sometimes stressful a holiday dinner and gathering can be for you! You want to watch your intake, but you also don’t want to be rude to the host/hostess of the party, don’t want to be the Debbie Downer of the group and you certainly don’t want everyone to roll their eyes when you say you are watching your diet. But, at the end of the day, you need to make the best choices for you! Here are some simple way to enjoy your celebration without gaining 5 pounds!

1. Don’t starve all day for a dinner celebration at night. This leads to starvation and you will eat anything at that point.
2. HYDRATE all day!
3. Get in a WORKOUT. Preferably a cardio workout if you have a big dinne...

Blood Work Fiasco!

Apr 25, 2019

This BLOG is also done as a podcast episode! CLICK HERE to listen!

The last few years I was getting my blood work done at my yearly OB/GYN appointment.  But they never had me fast before it, so I knew it was not 100% accurate.  My cholesterol always showed a bit high for LDL, but that is genetic for me.  My OB/GYN said I did not need to be concerned.

I’m turning 45 in August and decided it was probably time for a full physical through my general practitioner.  This meant I could have a real blood panel checked and to get my doctor’s approval before I start training for another Ironman.  I really was not worried at all, just trying to be responsible for my health.

Well, I was a little surprised when the doctor’s office called and said “we...
