Every day you are faced with a few critical moments where you can either do the right thing or the wrong thing. Are you winning them? Some examples of key moments are when it’s time to exercise, when it’s time to eat, when it’s time to buy groceries and when it’s time to sleep. Are […]

It took me a while to learn what the term hustle culture meant. As it turned out I already knew what it was. Runrun.it Blog defines hustle culture as “Constant working. It means devoting as much of your day as possible to working – hustling. There is no time out or time in at work. […]

What Play Do You Call?

When the pressure is on in the big game, players and coaches already have an idea of what they’re going to do. They have specific plays to run in certain scenarios. Their plan is usually determined before the season even starts so judgement isn’t clouded when everything is on the line. Likewise, when you get […]

STOP Re-failing!

A common strategy for weight loss is returning to what has “worked” before. Sometimes people go back to the same approach dozens of times. But if you take a step back and think about it, that strategy has failed them over and over again! Why would it produce a different result this time? It’s not […]

Where I Fail

Almost all of us have recurring points of failure. Times when we go left instead of right. Zig instead of zag. Ironically, we usually know what we’re supposed to do at these moments but for one reason or another we drop the ball. I’m talking about the times when we know we should be starting […]

Who Are You?

Muhammad Ali is one of the most celebrated sports figures of all time. His dominance in the ring is undeniable. But one thing that he achieved beyond his accomplishments was an identity. He thought of himself as a champion first and foremost. That identity drove him to do all the things he needed to do […]

Right now it’s hard not to feel restricted. Almost everything is closed. In most states you aren’t supposed to go anywhere unless it’s essential. But what about staying on top of your exercise?

Ironically, the biggest thing holding back your success might be that you’re not putting it on your schedule! What do I mean by this? While we might not be able to directly control outcomes, we absolutely control the behavior that produces successful outcomes. Shift your focus from the outcome itself to what you have to […]

Weight loss advice hits us from all sides. Eliminate carbs and get motivated. Take this pill and buy this exercise equipment. Join a gym, eat more protein, use this app, fast every other day, don’t eat after 6pm. It’s endless. Some of it may be helpful but in my opinion it over complicates a simple […]

Have you ever went out to mow the lawn and had your lawnmower tell you that it didn’t feel like mowing right now? Me either. That’s the advantage machines have over humans. They don’t have feelings, they just do the work. The funny thing about humans is that we almost always know what we need […]

Not to go off on a rant but too often people approach weight loss with a horribly weak mindset. Some people abandon their plan at the first feeling of discomfort or inconvenience. If weight loss was easy then there wouldn’t be a billion dollar industry surrounding it.  Sometimes we expect a product to be the […]

The Cult of Competition

It’s perfectly natural to benchmark ourselves against our peers. This starts at a very early age. School children receive good grades for academic achievement and win trophies for athletic performance. Later on people compete to get into certain schools or work at certain companies. Then it’s competing for a certain job title or social status. […]

Forget goals, get a vision!

One of the most critical components of any endeavor is a clear vision. In weight loss, a vision is usually misunderstood or flat out missing. To be more clear let’s define what a vision is not. A vision is not losing 10 pounds. A vision is not running a 5k. A vision is not working […]
