I really like the story you are about to read about Fit Fun Bootcamper Kaitlin because it goes to show that despite growing up in a family of poor eating habits, it doesn't have to be a death sentence. Change is possible and results will be achieved. Losing the weight has not only transformed her body, but has given her extra drive and confidence to build her growing massage business. Here is … [Read more...]
Wendy
Today I want to share with you a story of Wendy, although she lives in my town, I have yet to meet her. Her story reminds me that all it takes is some correct information followed by massive action. Wendy, like many moms just didn't know the right way to healthily lose weight and be healthier. I am humbled that some words in my Fit Moms For Life book, and some of my workout videos was the … [Read more...]
30 Days (Plus) of Awesomeness
Posted by Roger, a contributor to this blog. Well, I've just completed Dustin's "30 Days of Awesomeness" challenge and thought I would post my final journal entry here instead of just writing on the closed Facebook page. I decided to participate in the challenge for a couple of reasons. One was to see what would happen if I started keeping a food journal again, as well as trying some of the … [Read more...]
Happy Holidays
Posted by Roger, a contributor to this blog. It is that time of year again. For many of us this can be a difficult time as there are so many temptations. There is the temptation to skip workouts because we are just so busy and tired. There is the temptation to overeat because, dang it, everything looks and smells so good. What's a guy to do? … [Read more...]
Who say’s it’s not possible to be “hot” at 50? – Part 2 of 2
In part one I told my transformation story. Now I am going to talk about how changing my eating habits helped me to get the results. Click here to read part one... One big lesson I have learned is that nutrition plays a large part in the results that you get. Eating 5 small meals a day works really well for me.

Taking Boot Camp With Me
Poster by Roger, a contributor to this blog. Last week I started working toward losing the weight the doctor wanted me to lose.

Who say’s it’s not possible to be “hot” at 50? – Part 1 of 2
I'm hoping that's not true...I'm planning to just get better with age. At the age of 48 I'm in the best shape of my life. Let me tell you how I was able to make that happen. Growing up I was fairly thin, then when I turned 18 life got in the way. Late in my 30s I was at my highest weight ever and knew I needed to make some changes. I was overweight, unhappy and had no energy. Early in my 40s … [Read more...]
Bad Day at Black Rock?
Posted by Roger, a contributor to this blog. It seemed like an uncomfortably warm night last night. My wife and I watched the movie Tales of the Crypt (1972), not to be confused with the HBO series, before heading to bed. I love old '70's B-movies from my youth. They used to show them at the local drive-in but I suppose now they are direct to video. However, I digress. The warm air or humidity … [Read more...]
For Richer, For Poorer, For Sweatier…
Posted by Roger, a contributor to this blog. The alarm goes off at 4:30 and my wife tells me it is time to get up for boot camp. Luckily I already have my gym bag packed and workout clothes laid out so I can move a little bit slowly. I get out of bed and get dressed while she goes back to sleep for another 20 minutes. Then, still slightly bleary-eyed, I head out alone, both of us disappointed … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts
Posted by Roger, a contributor to this blog. Got up nice and early this morning to attend Memorial Day Boot Camp. It was kind of a humid morning but there was a little breeze so all was good. Afterwards I had a chance to reflect a bit since no work today. Nothing particularly profound but thought I 'd share them with you anyways! … [Read more...]
