How did Sarah gain the weight? “I couldn’t control my eating. I used it as an emotional crutch. I was relieving my stress through my enjoyment of food, regardless of the consequences and emotional pain it caused. In addition, I hated exercise. I did not want to put forth that […]
On Tuesday, I was listening to a Chris Widener interview with Brian Tracy and at some point he was talking about distractions. That set off a chain of thought that has been part of my thinking all week. I grew up on a farm in rural Central New Jersey and […]
My blessings have hatched over the last five years. I never counted them before they hatched because I didn’t know what they were going to be. I had taken a step of faith, rather a leap of faith, into a big unknown for me and it has become the source […]
May 5th was my 44th birthday and a time for reflection. Looking back to when I was 18, my self-image was that of a pudgy young man, too embarrassed to go shirtless in public, too embarrassed to dress out for gym class. In fact, the image below is one of […]
Sean sure did with P90X… Heather sure did with Insanity… These people sure did by entering The Beachbody Challenge… Do people really get results from using Beachbody workout DVD’s? A video is worth a 1,000 words. You be the judge…
Five years ago, I began a journey with no destination. It was an adventure of sorts that became a business venture. Yet at no time in the last five years did I feel like I was “working” and, in fact, I derived a lot of happiness and success from […]

Whether it was a seed that was meant to be planted or just something that has stuck with me over the years, I don’t know for sure. But when I was a sophomore in college, I took an aptitude test and the results showed that I should be either […]
I love watching how my children have developed healthy habits in nutrition, fitness and health. I teach them all about food groups, portion sizes, what and when to eat, reading labels, and so forth. We encourage physical activity with exercise, sports and dance, and promote good habits for […]

Instead of just working on your body and building your body, you could be building your dreams and building the dreams of others at the same time. Are you just going to the gym or working out at home and solely thinking about your issues? Well what about the same […]
Stress is the silent killer. Financial pressure causes a massive increase in stress, which leads to disease. There are several organizations that can assist you in managing, reducing, and eliminating your debt. When you free yourself from financial worry you are more likely to be happier and healthier.
Here is a side effect of using Shakeology that my wife and I did not plan for. Back near the end of last summer, we considered contacting our local garbage servicing company and requesting another garbage can. We had one large recycle container, and one large trash container. Because we […]
I’ve been getting asked these two questions recently, and thought I would provide an answer – Question 1 – What does TOPSTONE mean? TOPSTONE is the name of our business for very specific reasons. In the literal sense, TOPSTONE means ‘the final stone, placed on top’. What TOPSTONE means […]
Maybe you’ve seen the info-mercials for P90X, LES MILLS PUMP, or TurboFire and you were impressed. And then, you thought to yourself – There is no way I can do that. Those people are already super fit. Well, there is no denying that those folks are super fit, but there […]
Making resolutions is the easy part, following through with them is the challenge! Many obstacles can get in our way from reaching our goals, our attitude included. The biggest thing I have learned is how my mind can have so much power over my actions. Deciding you want something […]
Most of the time, we grind through the days, handling everything thrown our way, and doing our best to make it look easy. As a dad to 4 very incredible young men, I can honestly say that I could write 8 hours a day, each and every day, for the […]
Welcome to my Pay-It-Forward campaign. The goal of this campaign is simple – Sharing! When you see the TOPSTONE Challenge Badge, know that you’ve been challenged. Challenged to eat something nutritious, engage in exercise, and start involving others in better nutrition, health, and wellness. Copy this badge and forward it […]
Some things are easy to do, but very difficult to actually do. Having the will to act means more than just thinking you should work out, clean the garage, or play with your children. Having the will to act makes you different because you actually do the things you know […]
Inspiration can come from many places, but your belief in yourself will control your actions. Success stories always start with an inner desire for making something happen. There is a reason, a “why?”, that sparks our motivation, commitment and determination to reach a goal. No one else can decide […]
To change your metabolism and therefore change your set-point (the body’s preprogrammed weight) you need to spend more time exercising, which will increase that crucial calorie-burning muscle. When enough muscle has been built, you will burn so many more calories in a day that your body will have to […]
I’ve been in the fitness business since 2003. I’ve pretty much heard almost every excuse out there. I’m sure I’ve used a few myself. People tend to make every excuse they can when it comes to exercises & eating right. So many people come to me & say they want […]
A little story about crabs in a basket posted by Patty Sweeney Corrigan on Facebook If you place a sole crab in a stock pot and heat it, it will readily attempt to climb out, it will escape, and potentially achieve freedom! However, if you place two or three crabs […]
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” – Proverbs 23:7 Your mental images manifest in your physical world. Here are some questions you need to ask yourself: 1. How can you become lean, fit and healthy if all you think about is gaining weight and eating your […]
I procrastinated, finding every excuse not to have one. I thought I needed more of something, but not sure what it was. But I started getting tired of putting it off and decided to just pick a date for my Team Beachbody Business Launch Party. I picked […]
I get an inspirational email every day from Insight of the Day, and yesterday was no exception. On Friday, it is called, “Friday Story” and instead of being a quote, it is an inspirational story. Relying on their honesty, this is supposed to be a true story and […]
For the first 15 years of my life, there were no wars, there was prosperity, there was faith in government and faith in the future. Fifteen year olds today are living in times of uncertainty having felt the effects of three wars, devastating hurricanes, financial hard times and now perhaps […]
Yesterday, we celebrated the birth of our country with everything from solemn to joyous to boisterous celebrations. Not lost to those of us who are devotees of Tony Horton and know what a great impact he has made in so many of our lives with his effective workout programs is […]
My daughter and I went to the zoo today and all of the animals are so beautifully housed and fed and every effort is made to recreate their natural habits and to keep them healthy and happy. Not too fat, not too thin, but eating like they would in […]
