Hello, Striders!
Today is day 7 of the Primal Stride Week 2 Challenge. You’ve been crunching on fruits and vegetables and your abs all week.
Are you glad you did it? Have you learned anything about yourself in the past week? Will you keep eating vegetables and doing crunches now that the weeks is over?
My update: Green [...]

The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 6
Hello Striders!
How often do you take naps?
I grew up taking naps each afternoon but “grew out of them” by the time I was 8. I have since reimplemented them as part of a (I hate the word “diet” … what to call it?) concerted weight-loss effort. Resting for 30 minutes, even if I can’t fall [...]
The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 5
Good Morning, Striders!
Where do you get your power from?
Are you able to survive, to thrive, and to flourish through the strength of your friendships with others? Do you have a deep religious fervor that keeps you going? Perhaps you just know, deep within yourself, that you are able to do whatever you wish?
I’d like [...]
The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 4
Good Morning, Striders!
I’m sure I’m not the only one with a busy Monday so I’ll keep this short. I’ll give a quick update on my progress and ask you a question that you can answer with your update.
My Update:
Crunches – 250 each day didn’t seem like a lot at first because I split them [...]
Five Reasons To Start Your Day Early
Becoming an early riser isn’t about trading sleep for productivity. It’s about taking back a part of your life by trading tired evening hours for productive and wakeful mornings.
You probably can’t tell your boss that you’ve decided not to work between 9-11am because you need productive time for yourself and personal projects. You’d be laughed [...]
How To Do A Perfect Crunch
Do you know how to do a perfect crunch?
When you think of crunches, do thoughts of achievable six-pack abs come to mind? Or do you instead think of the 1980’s and mindless repetitions that never seem to move you closer to your dream stomach?
I’ve asked my incredible Dr. Seuss Rhymster Fitness Homie MizFit to break [...]
The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 3
Good morning, Striders!
I tossed a leaf of kale into my green smoothie this morning (I have it growing on my patio) to mix things up from the collards yesterday. (I’m doing something separate with green smoothies I’ll tell you about soon. In the meantime, eat your veggies!)
50 more crunches to go and I’m done for [...]
The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 2
Good morning, Striders!
It’s a beautifully crisp January day here in Mississippi. By crisp, I mean 19F under a bright sun that belies the windy barbs swaying trees outside my window. My stomach feels tight from yesterday’s crunches but there’s no pain. Just a sensation that serves to remind me that I am indeed making progress. [...]
The Double Crunch Challenge | Day 1
Day 1 of the Double Crunch Primal Stride Challenge has me sitting straight up in my chair with spinach in my stomach. I’ve developed a nice little routine: Every time I get up for a glass of water or tea I do 50 crunches. It’s 10am, I’ve been up for 5.5hrs, and I’ve met my [...]

5 Steps To Easily Fall Asleep
As Franklin said, “early to bed, early to rise…” I’m not sure about his promises of wealth, health and wisdom, but I’m certain that falling asleep early (or at any time you wish) is a key tool for shaping a healthy lifestyle.
Here are five steps I use to fall asleep quickly and easily. The trick [...]
