Read MoreI knew going into 2016 that it would be a year of big changes. My wife and I had just had our first son, we moved to Atlanta to be closer to family and I was starting a new career. Stressful as they are, I welcomed every one of those changes. Between stepping into the craziness of being a first-time dad and moving away from my whole life as a Bostonian, everything was in a constant state of motion. It was a roller coaster, but one that I loved riding. One change was not planned and it brought the whole ride to a stop.
Read MoreIn the months since Summer has ended, I have been getting asked more and more about how gym members can motivate themselves; or find the motivation they once had. A lot of my own personal training clients know that on the days that they don’t see me, I expect to see them at the gym doing the homework I assigned them or taking a group fitness class. Belonging to a gym that offers tons of group fitness classes per week is a great perk that all gym members have access to. I am as disciplined as they come and even I struggle some days. These are the days that I turn to group fitness classes for motivation. I know that the hardest part is just getting in the door.
Read MoreLet’s be REAL. Halloween is around the corner and whether you have kids or not, bite-sized Halloween candy is everywhere. From people bringing it to work, to seeing it at the grocery stores on sale, it’s unavoidable and easy to be tempted! So, I dug deep into my womanly self to not think about how much I love chocolate and came up with strategies to help you with candy cravings. Trust me, I’ll be using these strategies too. Here are 5 Easy Tips To Help Curb your Halloween Candy Cravings. Tip #1: Swap The Junk For A Healthier Snack Part of the lure of Halloween sweets is the deceiving nature of bite-sized candies: Eating small pieces doesn’t feel as fattening right? But then you realize that you have eaten more than one. However, you can still enjoy that mouth-popping satisfaction; by swapping the junk for a healthier snack like almonds. You can even create your own trail mix and add some raisins for sweetness. Remember, nuts can be high in fat, so be sure to eat them in moderation. Tip #2: Avoid Temptation at Work Prepare for the dreaded candy bowl by keeping healthy snacks at your desk or nearby. Need a quick sweet fix? Slice a banana into pieces and place on a tray in the freezer for 20 minutes. Throw pieces in a plastic bag, and store in your work freezer. Eat as a sweet cool treat to satisfy your tempted sweet tooth.

Read MoreSummertime is a great time to watch your weight when there is a plentiful supply of healthy fruits and vegetables, grilled foods, and active outdoor living. When you succeed at eating healthy foods and avoiding junk, you probably attribute the bulk of your success to your ability to resist unhealthy impulses, the sheer power of your mighty will. Likewise, when your healthy eating disappears, and you start to regain the weight you lost, it’s your inability to exert self-control that takes much of the blame. That’s the common belief, that willpower is the most important ingredient for life change. Without it, the truism goes, you won’t be able to stay the course during any big transition—whether it’s weight loss, a job hunt or even improving your marriage.
