Imagine, if you will, a 6 foot tall man, about 210 lbs, hairy and larger than life, standing in line at the Winner’s fitting room with several (large) black dresses in hand. Yes, it’s our own Kelly Scott from the 9:30 am camp. The man who got  the whole ‘Little Black Dress’ charity event idea [...]

Any female fat loss routine worth doing is doing should include some core exercises. But don’t be fooled into thinking that doing core exercises alone will get rid of the abdominal fat that’s hanging on. You’ll also need to include some high intensity interval training, or HIIT. This is the kind of cardio that I [...]

Shari may not consider herself to be an inspiration, but she is an amazing woman. She is a dedicated boot camper with a toddler at home. As you can see, she is due at any moment with her second child (well, she has a bit of time left). Shari’s pregnancy didn’t slow her down much [...]

I’m not overly fond of eating out and have the embarrassing habit of taking my own food with me for travel. Of course, this isn’t embarrassing for me, but a 16 year old tends to embarrass easily, again, who’d a thunk? Actually, the only meal that I consistently pack for myself for travel is my [...]

Surprisingly, it seems a teen-aged travel mate is opposed to public displays of exercise and sweat! Who’d a thunk? So for all those that were looking forward to another airport workout, I’m sad to report that there isn’t one this round. We had a long lay over in Seattle, but managed to go exploring downtown [...]

As many of you know, I took my daughter with me when I went to California to meet with my mentor. It was also her 16th birthday, so it was sort of a ‘mom-daughter weekend’. It seems there are plenty of ways to embarrass a teenager and I’m very skilled in this area. Here are [...]

Why reinvent the wheel? For me, I don’t enjoy financial planning and dealing with numbers. When I go to my accountant my eyes tend to glaze over. I’m so thankful that I have guidance from a trusted expert when it comes to this. In fact, there are lots of areas in life that I can [...]
