An age old question that’s often asked when it comes to exercise: is doing a little something better than doing nothing? If you only had 15 minutes, is doing a short workout better than no workout at all? I think most of us intuitively know the answer to this. Of course it is! But I […]

Ahh the weekend. Time for a little R and R. Let all the worries of the week melt away. Forget about things for a few days before Monday comes around. Unfortunately, this is a recipe for disaster when it comes to your weight loss. I understand as much as anybody that weekends are precious. They […]

I can’t even tell you where I first heard this metaphor. But it’s perfect for an issue that is surprisingly common with weight loss. I’ll tell you the metaphor fist and then explain the connection (if I even need to). The crabs Once upon a time a man was walking along a beach and came […]

Perhaps no space has had more thought put into its design than a retail store. A retail store’s layout is central to its success. Every inch matters and that’s why entire fields of study have been devoted to their design. Floor plans and end caps are meticulously thought out. Signage is strategically placed. Have you […]

On February 7, 1994 a professional ballplayer signed a contract with a new team. The season began with optimism. The crack of wood bats, the sound of balls slamming into mitts and dust rising off the infield were all classic baseball. But as the season wore on nothing spectacular materialized.

Ahh mid January. Freezing temperatures, playoff football and the end of many New Year’s resolutions. I don’t mean to be negative but the numbers don’t lie. According to U.S. News, about 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February. I know it’s only January but if your resolution has already gone by the […]

Perhaps nothing has given me more insight into human behavior than observing my own child. My son is almost two years old now. Watching him develop up to this point has been truly fascinating.

The concept of a capsule wardrobe was recently introduced to me. One of my clients explained what it was during a personal training session. I must admit that fashion isn’t really where I thrive. If you said that I’m no Giorgio Armani it would be giving me too much credit. I’m not even a Levi […]

Weight loss never occurs at a constant rate like some people believe. I have never seen a weight loss graph where the line has had a continuous downward slope. The following graph is very representative of successful weight loss. The upticks in weight are where people experience the most frustration and hopelessness. However, if you […]
