Imagine a transformation from 210lb non-athlete to a 144lb champion swimmer in just 2 years... Do you want to know how my daughter made it? Read on.
Allowing your mood to dictate your activity is akin to allowing a teen to dictate your bank account balance...
A terrible idea

Can’t figure out why you seem to have a recurring pattern of feeling down or frustrated?
This might be why 👇🏼
My daughter getting a matching tattoo to the one I got just after she turned 10 was not on my 2026 bingo card.
Here we are, with just 7 weeks until she moves out to go to college, and wherever else life takes her, I’m honored and already feeling the void she will leave.
She’s a big presence, and will fill the room where she goes, and leave a void when she leaves it. *sigh* I love my girl beyond words

Day 265 of the next 50 years is yoga and sauna.
Still feels like there’s a stick under my shoulder blade, but onward we go!
Have a great Sunday, y’all!
If I took days off of training every time that little band of muscle decided to spasm, I’d be in half the shape I am. It’s not like my whole body needs rest because of a 2” bit of tissue.
I was so recovered that the cardio felt easy. Endorphins for the win! 🏆
Grinding through agonizing back spasms to hit a cardio quota is how minor strain turns into chronic injury.
Cardio benefits require recovery to actually adapt.
If your body is locked in acute spasm, rest is the only workout that matters.
Listen to the check-engine light.

Day 264 of the next 50 years is VO2 training with 50 minutes of zone 2 cardio and 50 minutes of zones 2-4 with intervals.
Upper back is spasming from my scoliosis and back training on Thursday. Every breath hurts.
Life is not for the weak. 🥵😅
The only way to prevent muscle wasting is high protein and weight training.
Coincidentally, those are also the two mechanisms that work for fat loss when NOT on a GLP.
Go figure….since the “fat loss drug” craze of the early 90’s, we’ve always seen the same outcomes, no matter the drug used.
Want bariatric surgery? Gotta lose weight before they’ll do the surgery. And after surgery, the same thing you did to get ready for it is what you have to do to maintain the weight loss.
Big pharma is screwing with your heads…it’s always been the same answer….
protein + weights + cardio = fat loss without ruining your metabolism.
You’re welcome.
The phase three retatrutide trial was just published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and the headline is that at the highest dose, people lost an average of 25% of their body weight over 80 weeks.
But here’s what blew my mind. Some participants reduced or stopped treatment because they had lost too much weight.
At the highest dose, 5.3% of people came off retatrutide because their weight loss was considered excessive or already sufficient. When that much weight comes off, I want to know what it was made of, and this paper doesn’t include a detailed body composition analysis.
The earlier phase two DEXA data, in people with type 2 diabetes, put it at roughly 30 to 40% lean tissue, which is in line with other obesity medications. Training and protein are still the biggest levers for protecting muscle.
Retatrutide is still investigational and not FDA-approved.

Day 262 of the next 50 years is starting off with a cortisone shot in my knee.
Anyone familiar with Cartilax peptide?

Tired of your health care like a second mortgage?
One of my clients was paying $2800/mo a month for health insurance. And they still couldn’t afford to use it.
So we changed how they paid for healthcare.
Their deductible was so high that they were paying out of pocket for everyday care, including working with me.
So we looked at the whole picture. What care did this family need? What were they paying for? And could we put those pieces together differently?
Through BOD Care, I brought concierge medical care together with the fitness, nutrition and ongoing coaching I was already providing.
Then, using my insurance license, I helped them find a less expensive family insurance plan to provide coverage for major medical needs.
Their insurance premium dropped by $1100/mo!! Thats $13,200 each year in premium savings, freeing up money to put toward other things in life!
BOD Care and concierge medical services have their own costs, but we looked at how their whole healthcare budget could work for them.
A bigger insurance bill doesn’t automatically mean better everyday care.
Every family’s needs and coverage options are different. But it’s worth asking: what is your healthcare spending actually getting you?
Let’s look at the whole picture together to take care of your bod😊
Day 261 of the next 50 years is cardio and legs, working around this torn meniscus.
As the saying goes, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, really should be “cardio and weights” in place of apple.
Exercise is the best medicine 👊🏻

When your teenager REQUESTS to do something for you,
You simultaneously pat yourself on the back for raising a good kid, while worrying what the real motive is behind it.
Time will tell… 😂
Maybe it’s Christmas season coming up….🤔

Is it just me, or is it far more annoying to jump on a sales call with someone who reached out to you and knows nothing about you, than it used to be?
In the age of Ai, it seems a lot easier to know your prospect than ever before...so why do they sound so clueless?

Day 260 of the next 50 years had waaaay more energy for cardio and back/shoulders/abs. Felt strong.
The kids have all been sick so I must’ve been fighting it the last few days. Would explain my lack of desire to train.
Good to be back, baby!
