Do you have a morning routine? How do you typically start each day?
Does it revolve around the acquisition of coffee and chocolate-injected croissants? Or is it a bit more complex? Does your morning routine have a pre-meditated purpose or outcome, other than to just keep your eyeballs propped open?
It is said that the first task a person completes each day are directly proportional to their level of success, both professionally and personally…
Today’s blog post focuses in on dealing with a member of your household who is either intentionally or unintentionally undercutting your weight loss efforts.
More times than not it’s the latter. People don’t usually plot the demise of someone’s fitness future. That would be really weird.
So, let’s talk about the unintentional undercutting. This could be in response to:
Read MoreThis is a loaded question and the answer is, it’s different for each person. What are your goals? What do you want to look like? What kind of exercise do you enjoy doing most? Also, what kind of time do you have to devote to exercise?

Is your goal to:

> Gain muscle?
> Lose your love handles?
> Taper down those thunder thighs?

Read MoreI promised my introverts a shout out a few emails back, after my “You are too BIG” email. (In it, I attempted to highlight the similar struggles between being overweight and being a spirited extrovert.
So “introvert introspection” is what I bring to the cyber table today. Here we go…

A couple days ago, I asked the other Li to write us a blog from her life's perspective. I figured you guys could use a break from hearing from my brain all the time. And so I give you my amazing bffl, WGF head admin and indispensable other half Liana…
Read MoreWhat up Fly Tribe! Today I wanted to dive in with you and dissect the question– When to Hit it and When to Quit it – in reference to when, why, and how much you’re going to the gym.
Listen, we all know plenty of reason why TO GO to the gym. We hear about those all the time. It is constantly being reiterated to us that in order to reach our health and fitness goals, we must be disciplined and hit the gym often and hard.
But what about the times when it is better for us NOT TO GO to the gym? What if there are sometimes better ways to spend that precious allotted gym time? All obvious situations aside such as illness, injury or an urgent family matter that must attended to, what are some other things that should give us pause and consider non-traditional gym options? Let’s explore these now.
Read More…Here is where a very practical law of science comes into play.
We fear that we won’t accomplish the goal. That we will fall short, put ourselves out there, make the effort, and never see the reward. This is our first fear. (Strangely enough, we don’t seem to fear the temporary reward, even though that has far more severe psychological and physical long-term repercussions.)

19thcentury philospher Friedrich Neitzsche said, “Whatever doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.”
I’m about to make a bold statement. Mr. Neitzsche was wrong.
Read More…It is what we crave from others. It is our singular reigning request from our universe. Our treatment of this truth can either create our biggest internal void or our absolute ecstasy. Because our entire perception of what we see outside of ourselves is predicated by what is already happening within us…

Read More…The doctor removed over half the disc. He said the herniation was massive, one of the biggest he had ever seen. I will never grow that disc back.
He also joked that he had placed bets with his nurses, that I would be one the 8% to re-herniate within the first 12 weeks post-op, due to my active lifestyle and profession.
Ha-ha, I thought. I was determined to prove him wrong.
Now this is the hardest part for me to tell you. I ended up not proving him wrong. I re-herniated my disc before my 12 weeks of recovery were up…
