Okay guys, it’s been just about three weeks and we’re almost halfway there. By now, you should be over the “induction flu” and have good energy levels, be sleeping much better, and see some gains in the gym. If you aren’t feeling great, please let me know and we can go over your food logs [...]
First Week of LBN and Weekly Meal Plan
Ok guys, we’re almost a full week in for those of you who started LBN on Monday and even if you waited till Wednesday to start, you should be well into it by now.
I find the first week of any strict “detox” or lifestyle change to be the hardest. You’re hungrier – physiologically because your [...]
LBN – Staying Prepared and Our Weekly Mean Plan
As I mentioned a few times, I really believe being prepared is the key to the success in any life change, especially one as huge as what you eat on a daily basis. So, not only do we meal plan each week, but we also have other tricks to stay prepared. I know it will [...]
LBN Meeting Follow Up
So at the meeting, when I asked how many of you were doing the LBN challenge for the first time, more hands shot up than had ever before. This causes my brain to do things: 1) freak out because OMG how am I going to explain this to these people without causing them to run [...]

Finding Support
I’m lucky enough to have a spouse who is my partner in all things – parenting, housekeeping, working - life. Even though I may be the more outspoken of the two of us (okay, I’m a LOT more outspoken), when it boils down to it we are equals and are unconditionally supportive.
He not only understands how [...]
Competition

In our day to day battles what defines us is a win? But who is our competition and who we trying to beat?
Our Goals are what we are fighting for - that’s [...]
Arm Yourself
