Labor Day 2010


Good morning. Labor Day weekend is here. What are you doing? Hopefully you have planned something active to burn some of those BBQ calories. Plan a run, swim, bike ride, or workout. Or one of each. Make a contest with your friends of who can do the most activities. Remember that what you do is who you are, and you define yourself by your activities and the people in which you surround yourself with.

60 pound weight loss 8-2010

I started coming to Better Bodies a few months after I graduated from college. At a time where I should’ve been excited about conquering the world I was suffocating under a lifestyle of excess, self-doubt and over a hundred pounds of extra baggage. I consulted with a few surgeons about weight loss surgery but my inner warrior wanted a full on battle against the obstacles I had built for myself…..that and I also had watched “Pumping Iron” for the first time and wanted to manifest that buff dude gym atmosphere into my own life. So I did just that….I dawned my multicolored sweatbands, signed a contract, and made a pact with myself to fight hard and get stronger everyday. I sacrificed my party lifestyle and am now conscience of everything I take into my body. Now, a year later, I feel more rewarded than any degree could make me feel. I’ve shed about 60lbs and 28 inches and gained tons of energy and strength. I am literally a juggernaut of power and I’m confident that my body and mind are more in balance than ever.

Working out is so rad at Better Bodies, its like a clubhouse of really fun people and be it trainer or trainee everyone has the zaniest sense of humor. Exercising with my trainer Will is constant laughs and he’s more of a big brother than anything. We cross hurdles together and I’m confident that without his effort towards my transformation I would have given up a long time ago. Trainers don’t let you throw in the towel though, and it’s such a positive thing having someone by your side through the battle. No matter how far I come in this journey, Better Bodies will always be my foundation and with that I know whole-heartedly that I will triumph.

Muscle Memory

I talk a lot about muscle memory and developing it early. I always recommend building it now so it will last through the tough times. Tough times being; starting a career, family, etc. and not having the time to exercise.

If you are young, the time will come that you will not get your exercise the way you want to. So read this article about resistance training or weight training and let's get moving.

If you are in the middle of not being able to exercise due to "life", then let's get started on at least a couple of times a week and play off of the muscle memory.

If you are past the "life is too busy" stage and are ready to get your "best shape body" back, give me a call and lets get started.

Quick Label Guide

Quick way to read a label. For every 50 calories per serving, you can only have 1 gm of fat. So if a serving has 3 gm of fat, there must be at least 150 total calories or more. 2 gm of fat, must have 100 total calories or more. Do not go over more than 3 gm of fat per serving and you will see results fast. This formula is to keep your calories from fat at less than 20%. Share with a friend. Also, fan my page at Better Bodies on Campbell Facebook.

Oatmeal Cookie Protein Shake

Here is a quick meal idea. You can use this any time of day. It is a great quick start for "on the go" mornings.


1-2 scoops Protein(depending on how many grams of protein you need)

1 Tbsp Peanut butter(for taste and essential fats. Almond butter is
a better replacement)

1/2 cup Quick oats (low fat carbohydrate source)

6-8oz. Almond milk (or water but I don't recommend milk)

1/2 tsp Cinnamon (For flavor and health benefits).
See article for (Health Benefits of cinnamon)

Directions: Put almond milk and ice in blender and mix. Then add protein, next add oats, then peanut butter, and last add the cinnamon.

Tip: While getting ready in the morning, put some eggs to hard boil. Easy to multi-task. Boil enough for two meals. Now take the eggs and two pieces of fruit with you and you are on your way with 3 meals that are low in fat, high in protein, and a great source of carbs. Watch the weight go down and the tone come out.

Take it one step further and have a shake again for meal #4 and then a sensible dinner. Now you have 5 meals with very little effort and very little fat. Eating well with a regular exercise routine is recommended for optimal results.

Have a meal idea of your own? Please share.
