  Instagram users upload 80 million photos on a given day. Granted, many of them are blurry selfies, memes, baby pics, and landscape shots, 99 percent of which have been mutilated by a gross misunderstanding of filter etiquette. But a bundle of those 80M is also of food: colorful salads […]

How to Tell if Your Running Heart Rate is Too High

I’ve been having heart rate issues for years, dating back to at least 20 years ago when I first moved to Albuquerque from New Jersey.  It has always been with my running heart rate until recently.  Some of those issues have subsided but have been replaced with an irregular heart […]

Let’s Start a Conversation

I read this devotional last night after hearing a message from Steve Berger on courage at Calvary Albuquerque. Is the river of life flowing in you or has it been reduced to a trickle? What is your fervent desire for your life? For it to flow freely in you or […]

Give Your Body Some Love and Save Some Money, Too!

According to this article, “Don’t fall off the “fitness cliff”: How to stick to your New Year’s exercise goals” from a study by Gold’s Gym, yesterday was “the turning point when people who committed themselves to gym-going in January slack off and stop showing up regularly. They call it the […]

Did You Fall Off of the “Fitness Cliff”?

I am not anything other than a regular guy who started running and then kept going.   There was a break in the late 70’s when I lived in Guatemala and played a lot of soccer, but I still ran occasionally, too.   When I returned to the United States, […]

Lofty Goals

Last night I had this inspired idea and I almost pulled it off, but not quite.   We’ve had some really cold weather in Albuquerque lately and I had my Polar T-shirt under another shirt.   My not so brilliant idea was to have Carly take a picture of me […]

“Polarman” Is Back!

No, my year doesn’t start on February 1st.   It has just taken a month to take this year’s bull by the horns and put in place a plan to make this the best year ever.   At the end of last year, I was told that I would be […]

New Month, New Year, New Me

Last night, I read a Joyce Meyer devotional, “Promises for Your Everyday Life – a Daily Devotional” with the title above.   I am going to share it in its entirety below because it is exactly what we should be thinking as we plan out our lives. “Some of us […]

Taking Care of Your Body

The Masters Hammer and Chisel

In case any of you thought that I didn’t wake up from the nap that I mentioned in Day 2 of the 21 Day Fix and that would explain why there wasn’t another post, I am happy to say that I just got sidetracked – for 19 days apparently. It’s […]

My 21 Day Fix Day 21

Now I’m feeling better.   I did a search for nap on my website and there are plenty of results.   I did what I said yesterday that I was going to do today and I ran for about 20:00 or so and then did 21 Day Fix Upper Fix. […]

21 Day Fix Day Two

Given the opportunity to work out with a friend in the SuperGym and in our Take Charge of Your Body for Life Facebook challenge group, I decided to start the 21 Day Fix over again.   It was an easy decision really because I had already gotten behind on my […]

21 Day Fix Day One (Again)

It’s after 10:00 and I am finally able to sit down and eat my steel cuts oats for breakfast.   This must be at least the 1,000th time, since I’ve had them almost every morning since April 25th, 2012.   That is the day that I started The Ultimate Reset […]

A Kickstart and a “Fix”

We’ve all been there.   I know that I have.   Years ago I would have let it really bother me.   Now I know that everything happens for a reason and I just have to let it go (as long as it doesn’t happen over and over!). What Team […]

What Should You Do If You Miss a Workout?

When I started out doing P90X…

When I started out doing P90X, it exceeded my expectations of what in-home workouts could be. I tried other workouts before; some I enjoyed, while I thought others were just cheesy. After P90X brought me great results, I wanted to mix it up a bit so I gave Insanity a […]

When I started out doing P90X…

Update:   I have now been drinking Shakeology for almost 7 years.   My first day was March 20th, 2009. I’ve been drinking Shakeology every day for over five years.   Who do I thank for finding and combining all of the great ingredients in Shakeology?   Darin Olien! Here’s […]

How They Find the Ingredients in Shakeology

We’ve All Been There

Did you know that Cinco de Mayo was first celebrated on American soil? It’s true!

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade

Stress has plagued me (like a plague) for years.   My rock for staying healthy has always been Shakeology and it has worked for me for over 5 years.   Last summer, though, I was just feeling really drained and by chance, stopped at a Pharmaca for the first time […]

I love being a Team Beachbody Coach

I actually posted this on Facebook earlier today and it is such an important post that I want to share it on my blog, too. My question is, if you can be a work at home dad and make a good income and spend every day with your children, why […]

Shakeology Really Works!

Shakeology has been a daily part of my life for over 5 years.   It has seen me through the toughest times that I have ever experienced and inconceivable stress and I’ve barely skipped a beat.   I can’t say that I haven’t had a cold or some physically or […]

67 Pounds of Pregnancy Weight Loss

By Steve Edwards – From the Team Beachbody Newsletter Ask the Expert Series The answer depends on two factors: your overall diet and how intense your workout is. If you eat small, balanced meals every few hours while you’re awake, you don’t really need a preworkout meal strategy. Your body […]

What Should I Eat Before My Workout?

Because there is no point in looking back, right? If I did, I would see my SuperGym workout calendar for March (not to mention the first 6 days of April) and see the worst training log that I have ever had.   In fact, over the past three months, it […]
