On my day 1 I was 138-140 lbs, soft, and tired. I ran a 1-3 mile loop sporadically whenever a jolt of motivation would hit me. I rarely ate breakfast. I ate a HUGE lunch. Then I’d have a continuous snack from 4-6pm, ending with a giant dinner and 2-3 glasses of wine at night. …
My kiddos have outgrown the pool. At almost 17 and 12, they’ve lost interest in spending their entire summer cannon balling off the diving board and swimming aimlessly from end to end with goggles they’d surely lose by the end of the day. However, back in 2017 when I originally wrote this post, spending short …
It’s the Holi-DAYS. Not the Holi-MONTHS. 3-4 Works Out/Week! 20g+ of protein at breakfast AND BEFORE your par-tay. Don’t track your veggies/fruits. Go back to NORMAL, HEALTHY eating the next day.

It’s absolutely insane that sweatlocal has been in existence for over 5 years and it wasn’t until this Fall that I sat down to write our EXACT mission and vision statements. You see, I’m a free thinker when it comes to business (and fitness) and so I outwardly reject or at least QUESTION a lot …
I’m waiting … for my work schedule to slow back down. for the weather to get warmer. to finish up this project. for my kids’ baseball season to end. for my big work trip to pass. for the holidays to end. for life to settle down. for kids to go back to school. to find …
