"In a recent goal setting session with a client I was reminded of one of the biggest reasons people fail to achieve their goals. As I was telling him about some of the things he would need to do in the coming days and weeks, he began questioning whether it would be possible for him to do those things.

"In case you missed the news last week, 105-year-old Frenchman Robert Marchaud set a cycling record in a category all his own. On Wednesday January 5th, Marchaud rode 14 miles in one hour, the fastest time for anyone 105 or older. In a post-ride interview he stated: “when you are old like this, you must never stop for too long.

The holiday season is now in full swing and with less than a week to go, last minute shopping and preparing is consuming most of your spare time. In these moments, it’s tempting to relegate your workouts to “I’ll try to fit it in” status but this usually translates into zero workouts until after the New Year.

I would love to say Sweet Potato Toast is the best thing since sliced bread, but it just isn't. Calling this meal toast gives you the completely wrong idea going into your first bite. If you're expecting a texture resembling anything like the real deal then you will be sadly disappointed.

2016 is almost over, only 3 weeks left. Can you believe it? Did you accomplish all your goals for this year? If not, did you get close? As we head into the holidays it’s normal to find less time for the gym; many folks just completely quit going, figuring they will start back up next year.

I've been working on a great Turkey Burger recipe for awhile now. Every Sunday turkey burgers are a part of my families meal prep. Turkey is a great lean protein and making it into individual patties for the week helps with portion control. I've tried several different ways of making the turkey burgers light and juicy while keeping them keto/whole30 and I finally found a recipe that works!

My recipe uses coconut aminos, if you haven't tried them, they are good on almost everything! It's a paleo/whole30 approved seasoning.

Wherever you may be in your fitness or life journey, know that you have the power to alter your destiny if you just take that first step. This week’s Monday Motivation comes from one of our members, Brittany Pierre. I was truly moved by her story, so today, with her permission, we bring it to you in her own words and hope you will find it as inspiring as I did.

I saw this recipe for Salt and Vinegar Potatoes the other day that sounded amazing, but I needed a way to make it Keto for my husband. I tried the same recipe, but combined potatoes and cauliflower. I could eat the potatoes which were Whole30 and he could eat the low carb cauliflower.

Getting Back on Track
After the Holiday Weekend

Thanksgiving is over and if you’re like most people, you ate way too much of the foods you don’t normally eat. Indulging in rich, calorie-dense foods from time to time won’t really set you back any; and in fact, if you’re highly active, an occasional cheat meal can be good for your metabolism and hormones.

I've been cooking Thanksgiving for my family for almost 10 years now. It's one of my favorite holidays to cook for and I look forward to it all year long. However, this year I happen to be 3 weeks into my Whole30 and some of those traditional recipes arent going to make the cut.
