“If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If you’re not, you’ll find an excuse” -Jen Sincero author “You are a BadAss” So, yeah, it’s been awhile since I blogged anything news worthy. More like, since I set aside time to actually do so. Summer has had its shot and we can soon welcome fall. Cooler weather, sweatshirts, and most everyone’s favorite….everything flavored pumpkin! With the change of season, wouldn’t it be a great time to…
It’s been a while since I last posted a blog. I could give you a mountain of excuses but bluntly; I didn’t feel like it. Plain and simple. Much has happened in my fitness, family, business life; too much to blog. Sometimes keeping it personal (meaning to yourself and your close friends/family) is best rather than blurt out your guts for everyone else to read.

It’s Wednesday, it’s still raining. The weather is bringing us all down and putting our routines into a funk. What do you do about it? Crawl back in bed, covers over head, go to work and be miserable to co workers, grumpy to your family….? Well? I hope not. Be grateful for the day, even the rainy ones!

A milestone in my 41 years that I will never forget, and not because I am a runner and set pace or mileage goals, but for the moments created before, during, and after. Sunday we ran for Red. My previous blog explained all about Red and why it was important to us to run for her, to run with her. This would be the third time I have “run” with a friend,…
You may have noticed (or not) that yours truly has been running much more than usual. You also may have noticed a hash tag of #RUN4RED being used by me and other Mabfit followers. What is this all about? Who/what is Red? Let me give a brief insight on one of the bravest people I am fortunate enough to call my friend. Kelly, or “Red” as I have given her this nickname years ago, due to her red hair…
The SCALE…uugghh! The evil little device that sits in most bathrooms in a corner just eyeing you up every morning. Do you or don’t you step on it every day? I hope that you you don’t! The scale, obviously used as a tool to keep track of weight management has become and OCD nuisance. We get so caught up on the number it blurts out at us that it can make or break our emotional well being for that…
Why all the muscle? Why are my workouts tough? Why shouldn’t I eat bread, pizza, pasta, sugar…..WHY WHY WHY! Over my 17 years of personal training, 26 years of weight lifting (I started at age 14), multiple bodybuilding competitions, numerous varieties of nutritional methods; the golden standard that has always stood the test of time and broken all the “fad” ideas that creep up, 1. Eating RAW NATURAL UNPROCESSED foods will always reap more benefits than anything else 2….

What have you been doing to keep your heart healthy? I hope you haven’t been a slug on the couch watching netflix, while downing artery clogging, fat depositing foods! I know you all know this, but it is quite apparent that just because we know so doesn’t mean we do…
