It’s been a remarkable journey and almost impossible to fully capture and express the changes I have experienced since adopting a life style of clean living and eating. Unless I’m talking to my coach I wonder if other people “get it”. Can I really describe how different I feel and capture the essence of my […]

I recently had a conversation with a couple of friends that stemmed from an article titled “Top 10 Most Unhealthy, Cancer-Causing Foods – Never Eat These Again!” The 10 foods to avoid which the article listed were: GMO foods, processed meats, microwave popcorn, soda, ‘diet’ foods and beverages, flour, refined sugar, conventional apples, grapes and other […]

My advice is to go into something and stay with it until you like it. You can’t like it until you obtain expertise in that work. And once you are an expert, it’s a pleasure – Milton Garland While standing on top of a mountain in Montana, reality hit me like a rock in the […]

Diary of a Hot Mess

August 3, 2013

Does this sound familiar?  You went on vacation and upon your return you’re feeling a little less motivated than you were a week ago, or perhaps shocked at the scale, discouraged about eating dessert at a graduation party (EACH graduation party for the past 7 weekends), maybe drank alcohol at cookouts, concerts or out to […]

A HOTT Mess…my former life.

August 3, 2013

I would often describe myself to my coach as a HOTT Mess; it deserved two T’s and all caps. When I started GT, it was merely in my head about eating more and working out less. I was sold on that idea. I plugged along making smarter choices, getting in my food macronutrient needs in, […]
