My approach is all backwards, but my standard M.O. is to party all ‘cross season and then suddenly dig my heels in and bring the whole overindulgence thing to a screeching halt.
I tend to be all-in or all-out. It’s one or the other. People say, “Just have one beer.” and I think to myself, “Who […]
Eat your heart out, ErikV. I have improved upon the double chocolate pecan protein shake… some thought it was not possible.

I’ll admit it. I was mega-skeptical about this whole iron thing when it came up. It’s one of those things where one person tells you about something and then you start hearing it all over.
The iron buzz!! Get your iron checked! Everyone is doing it!
It all started last year when I met HG during ‘cross. […]
Dude.
Sal and I collaborated last night to make a bomb-shizilly good dessert. There are pictures and everything! But, wouldn’t you know it, my accountant is beating down my door for Q4 paperwork. While I go deal with grumpy Mr. Moneypants, I thought I’d post John Berardi’s article, "Changing the Rules of Good Nutrition" for you […]
Sal has a hardcore sweet tooth.
Protein shakes have come a long way and, in general, they taste pretty good when made with dairy or soy milk - especially Jay Robb. My sister especially loves BSN Chocolate Fudge flavor.
However, even chocolatey protein shakes are sometimes not enough to satisfy my sweets-craving boyfriend. But I finally figured […]
If there’s one thing I know for sure, I am a big old sucker for data.
Why?
Tracking achievement in quantifiable terms is ridiculously motivating.
Today, at my second body composition test, the numbers gave me valuable data for moving forward - and provided a huge motivational boost.

If there is one thing that will make the difference between your success and failure when you start any kind of program, it is planning.
Planning, planning, and more planning. Plan for absolutely everything possible, and then be smart when you encounter something for which you could not have planned.
I had a big meeting in Seattle […]
Island Pork Tenderloin Salad from the P90X Cookbook.
If you like pork, this recipe is ridiculously good. I made it for Sal on Saturday night and he spent the whole dinner moaning in delight. There’s nothing better than making a Sicilian man moan over food. :) The crunchiness of the cabbage and red peppers in the […]
I hate all those holiday party survival guides that tell you to stick to the veggie tray, don’t you?
It’s like, "No shit, Sherlock."
Give me something more. Give me something better.
I’m headed down to my Sicilian in-laws place for Christmas and I’m already starting to get nervous about how to maintain my program while I’m there. […]
In 2000, Sal and I lived in a flat across the street from Ocean Beach in San Francisco. It was the heyday, just before the crash really took hold (and tossed us out on our ear, mind you). As I watched the Tour de France, I picked up my cell phone, called up Kozmo delivery […]
