OK, so I just got an email from Starbucks.
You see, I have one of their “Black Cards.” What is that you ask?
Not quite sure, but it cost like 25 bucks and it gives me free internet access when at Starbucks. I needed it while opening a boot camp on the other side of town, so I got it. It aslo gives me a discount on coffee and products (I think), so it comes in handy when I take the girls out for coffee on the last day of camp.
They also send me emails with specials…thus this blog.
Tomorrow is free pastry day. You get a free pastry when you pair it with a coffee drink.

When I first saw Rocco Dispirito on TV, I liked him, his style, and his food. He clearly had a firm grasp on what he was doing…and he seemed pretty cool!

This book takes popular recipes and does a food makeover, altering the original recipe into a healthy fitness and weight loss food perfect for your fitness boot camp or personal training programs (like the ones I offer in San Jose;-)
Recipes include variations on things like Nachos, Brownies, Reuben Sandwich, Coconut Shrimp, Cookies, Hamburgers, Mac & Cheese, and 143 more…all with under 350 calories per generous serving.

Why am I writing this today?
Answer: Motivation, Instruction, and so YOU can reach your goals and see your dream body in the mirror!
You see, about 6-8 months ago (maybe a bit longer) I was buying some Kettlebells for one of my fitness and weight loss programs and I saw 2 Kettlebells that I did not have. They were BIG! 36kg (80LB) and the other was like 40 or something (I think it was 97LB)…doesn’t matter because I knew it was more than I could handle! More on Progression to perfection
People often say that losing weight and getting in shape is 80% diet…but I firmly believe that even though diet is a huge part, we must go deeper and look at mind set as being the strongest factor for successful weight loss and fitness.
If you have the right mind set and you look at what you’re doing in a proper manner, success is imminent. BUT if you do not have the proper mindset then you immediately go back to the bad habits, bad diet, and More on Battle of the Mind
A friend of mine recently sent me a great little quote about achieving your dreams that really stood out in my mind as being truly great. I actually printed it and put it on my hutch in the office to re-read and keep focus. It is so good that I want to share it with you.
Now before I do that, let me say 3 things. More on Living your dream life OR chasing your distractions?
