San Francisco Edition- Fried chicken vs salmon. Which won?

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

The salmon won, but only because you’re watching. I’m on a 3 week trip to launch the 5 Minutes to Fitness+ Club. I landed in San Francisco last night as the Giants won. Around the block form the hotel is Tyler Florence’s, from the Food Network, Wayfare Tavern. The staff told me the organic fried chicken was the best around. I swear I was going to choose it, then I thought of you. I knew I would be checking in and telling you about my trip and I didn’t want to disappoint you. One of the keys to health success is accountability, and you and I have it here. more »

Susan’s Blog: Down 76.5lbs and counting. What is motivating her?

Friday, December 9th, 2011

I want you to know I report Susan’s weight to you every week because it’s exciting to see her progress, but I also hope it will get you to read her blog posts. The reason I want you to read her posts, and Alison’s and Chrissy’s, is because they are sharing real stories and incredible insights that can and will assist you in your health journey. They’re also damn good writers.

In my last session with Susan, we both had tears in our eyes in the middle of a Starbucks. At one point she leaned in and said, “You better not make me cry in Starbucks”. I said, “too late, I’m already there”. Why did we get so emotional? I asked Susan, she might say pushed , to tell me how she was doing so well and what was motivating her. She also showed up with a complete analysis of her food and fitness and questions for me. I was floored. As her coach, I was never more proud. She is doing the things that successful people do, and unsuccessful people refuse to do. I’ll let her tell you about it below. We also spent time after the session talking as close friends, which I value greatly. Thank you Susan for being my friend and sharing your courageous journey with us!

One more thing. She gave me a semi-convincing argument for not doing the bands at home due to lack of space. I wouldn’t let her off the hook that easy Maybe she’ll tell you about it sometime. more »

Susan did that this week. It’s a big step for her as she realizes the effect stress has on her behaviors. Reading her blog you’ll learn at least one thing, she’s a fighter. more »

The note below came from a Fit Friends’ Revolution member who recently changed her life by participating in our first 5K training program.

Recipe- Summer Salad with Grilled Chicken and Corn

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

salad with corn and grilled chicken

All summer long I grill chicken or fish and place it over a fresh salad. There are endless variations and this recipe can be prepared with what you probably already have in your refrigerator. For a vegetarian alternative: substitute chicken with beans or tofu. You can also use salmon for the chicken. As always, buy organic food whenever possible. It does make a health difference. more »
