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 [...]

Five Reasons To Start Your Day Early
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 [...]
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 [...]
What Do You See When You Look In A Mirror?
I see man boobs.
Much of what you’ll find in the self-help section at your local bookstore points to “self acceptance” or “self love” as the ticket to living a happier life. We are told to look in a mirror and say, “I love what I see.”
I’m not sure that’s such a good idea. The mirror [...]
Primal Stride Challenge | Five At Five | Day Three
Good Morning Striders!
Seeing this photo by LoneWolf of what his morning exercise looks like makes me feel like a bit of a baby for complaining about the cold here! (click on the image to view the rest of the Flickr challenge pool)
Proper rest and exercise are very important to a healthy lifestyle.
I read that sentence [...]
Primal Stride Challenge | Five At Five | Day Two
Good morning, Striders!
First, an apology. I’ve been camping in the woods with my family. This is good in that I’ve been able to relive the frozen toes and blinding campfire smoke of my childhood. This has been unfortunate in that I haven’t been able to be around for you guys. That might be a good [...]
Shrek In A Blender – Eating For Results
A year ago, a blender full of raw collard greens and bananas would have made me vomit. In fact, I still think the consumable I demonstrate above is pretty gross.
I don’t drink it because it’s tasty. I drink it because I have drunk it before and I like how it makes me feel. My body [...]
Five At Five – A Seven Day Challenge From Primal Stride
My alarm clock will begin shrieking at 5am on Friday, January 1st, 2010. I will long to shut it off and continue sleeping away my life, but I won’t. I’ll get out of bed, slip into my running shoes, and stumble out the door into the pre-game light of the day.
I’ll be participating in Five [...]
Emotional Eating – How To Break The Cycle
Are you an emotional eater?
::raises hand::
Well, I was. The only emotions I have about eating these days are joy and exultation. I really like eating. I had a problem though. I was eating whenever I felt stressed, frustrated, or anxious. Get this, I even ate when I was disgusted with myself for losing control over [...]
Confidence and Climbing Through Uncertainty
I feel like this a lot of the time:
This picture was taken a few weeks ago during a hike up Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. (4,000 vertical feet, 8 mile round trip) People my size (I still have 100+ lbs to lose) and fitness level don’t climb Mt. Washington. They drive their car up and [...]
Working Weightloss: Where To Start?
How do you know where to begin when you decide to pursue a healthier lifestyle? Try taking an honest look at where you are right now and what your strengths are.
I was looking for information on the role b-vitamins play in metabolic processes when I came across this video:
“Hello? That’s not cool!” Was my [...]
How To Set Yourself Up For Success
I could never call myself a yo-yo dieter because that would imply that I lost weight as a result of dieting. I didn’t. I was a victim to my own expectations.
I expected myself to fail and, true to form, I always failed.
Then I began to look at the mechanics of my many failures and, over [...]
