Weight = Kitchen

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/29

You might disagree, but you fully control your weight in the kitchen. You want to lose weight? Eat less and pay attention to what you eat. You want to gain weight and/or muscle? Eat more and make sure you eat enough protein and fats to maintain your hormone levels.It really is that simple as a concept. The nuances can get difficult, I get that. The exact foods may vary person to person. But the concept never changes.When you eat low quality, high volume foods, you will gain fat and the scale will

Just do something!

Look, I get it. A lot of people don't know how to program a gym workout. Neither do I 🤣I'm not interested in lifting like a body builder anymore. I did that in Afghanistan, but now I have different goals. I want to be ready to do just about any physical challenge someone wants to do at any time. So I train a lot of different things. I'm still getting stronger. I have a body I'm proud of. I'm very capable in many arenas. I also know I could specialize at any point and get really good at one thing

Need more energy?

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/27

Being an adult didn't used to mean low energy and the inability to enjoy life. That's what you get when you stop living and eating like God intended.I played a lot of sports and did a ton of active things as a kid. Yet I couldn't work as hard and as long as my dad. He smoked like a chimney and drank like a fish, yet I couldn't keep up with him still.So, if you don't have energy as an adult, it's your fault. You know you can make changes. You're just not willing to right now.No excuses!

Bored, not thirsty...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/26

Telling you to drink water instead of eating to see if the sensation goes away isn't the worst advice. But it's often misleading and doesn't get to the root of the problem. Your body has very clear thirst signals, so it's not that. It's just your mind tapping into survival instincts of finding food when bored. The water fulfilled the task of finding something, so your brain marked that as a win.This can lead to additional confusion after a while, though. But you can use this time to create new

Stop being weak!

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/25

You know what to do. You just won't do it. That's because you keep negotiating with that weakest part of yourself. Flip the script and start working with the strong part of you. The badass buried deep down, hiding in the shadows. Let that fu**er come out to play 😂No excuses!

Not a rule, but a tool...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/24

You're stuck in this loop thinking your past is the rule you're supposed to live by. It's not. It's simply I tool to learn from. Sometimes the message is what not to do, be, or say. Other times it's exactly what you should continue doing. Not as a rule, but because it proved to be the right move.No excuses!

Fix your mind first!

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/23

When your thought patterns are filtered through fear and sorrow first, then everything else is interpreted as those things.You will constantly perceive everything as a slight. Everything will be an attack. Everything will be worth being afraid of.Fixing your thought patterns frees you up to truly work on the rest of the goals you keep putting off once you move beyond the fear, the world becomes a place to explore and not a place to hide from.No excuses!

Would you live for them?

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/22

Yep, I'm calling you out, men! Start living for those who need you or who might need you in the future. Don't but into the false narrative that you're not needed. You are. Don't be a liability. Be an asset. Lose the weight. Take back control over your health. Rebuild your body (or build it for the first time). Strengthen your mindset. Become the man the world needs you to be, not the one they pretend they don't need.No excuses!

It's your habits, not your genes.

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/21

My memory was jogged after hearing a little bit about this new study.The one I know about was dealing with adopted families, and the results overwhelmingly showed what were deemed genetic diseases were, in fact, linked to habits and not genes.Our bodies are built and primed to heal itself and survive. We create an environment for that to fail with our habits. Obesity, the big C, and many other things are habitual (or environmental at times as well) way more than truly genetic. I know the people who

They keep getting it wrong!

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/20

This will surely piss a few people off 🤣.Listen, I don't hate science. I think they do great things in certain areas. Nutrition is not one of them. They continue to be wrong, and when they change their own narrative, they rarely say they were wrong before. Instead, they say now they have better data. Nope, they have different funding and a population tired of being sick after following and trusting the science.Nutrition is simple. Watch any survivor show, and you will see it come to light.

It's your fault!

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/19

An uncomfortable truth. You are the product of your habits. Good, bad, or indifferent. Yes, being poor, overweight, sick, and sad are all results of broken or unproductive habits and thought patterns. Being rich, healthy, in shape, and happy are the results of productive habits and thought patterns.If you're an adult, you have the ability to change any of these results at any time. But most will hold on to broken patterns and blame anything and everything to keep their victim card at the ready.I've

Find a way!

2025/08/18

I've been in this house for 15 years, and I can count on one hand how many times the power has gone out for this long in that time.I guess God wanted to test my resolve and see if I would find a way or find the excuse. I think I passed the test 🤔.I could have done a different workout that was easily done with little to no light, too. But I already committed to the one I wanted in my head, so I made it happen. There's no shortage of excuse makers in the world. Don't be one of those people. Find a

I got swarmed!

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/17

This is how I handle things that could be considered traumatic to some. I don't fight the emotion. If my mind and body need to panic for a couple of minutes, I let them. Then, as soon as a rational thought comes into my head, I grab on and use that to talk some logic back into myself.This stops the spiral while still allowing my body to process the moment and release it. Then, I started joking about it with my family. You know, as my mom asked me what type of bees they were, I said I didn't stop to

95% stop sprinting after 30!

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/16

Sprinting is hard, but so good for you. And just by adding it to your training, you can quickly become one of the 5% that still sprint 😉Seriously, though. I've started adding this to my training. I'm nowhere close to being fast like I used to be, but it'll be fun to see my progression and to see how it helps me in my distance running efforts. No excuses!

Unlearn that s***!

If you learned it, you can unlearn it. Since you were born with basically no thoughts or skills, that means you can unlearn all those shitty habits you keep using as excuses!No excuses!

Schedule your emotions

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/14

I talk a lot about not being responsible for other people's emotions, but what if you're the one not handling your emotions properly? This one's for you.When I was younger, I would track down someone to play a rough sport. Usually basketball. And we would get ROUGH! At times, I took it too far, and they let me know. Then we could talk, or punt some basketballs, and let the emotion cycle through. Then it was done.In the military, being deployed on subs, then the desert, that was rarely an option

Feelings aren't facts!

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/13

Feelings aren't facts. Modern psychology likes to tell you to validate other people's feelings or for you to expect that from someone else. But it's not helpful.There's a major difference between acknowledging a person is really having a feeling or emotion and telling them it's true. Just because it's present doesn't mean it's accurate.By trying to claim it is, you aren't able to move past whatever issue is there. You aren't building the necessary skills to recognize a faulty thought process so you

They are not your emotion

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/12

It's about accountability. This mom was teaching her daughters how to be accountable for their own emotions.I loved the way she explained this. It's a real-life example of a person not taking accountability for their own mind because it's uncomfortable. You know you've done the same in traffic, at home, at work, and basically anywhere you've interacted with another human 🤣.Either way, the message is the same. You are responsible for your own emotions. You can explain them to another person, but

Certifications needed?

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/08/11

What I should have said is that certification programs are a modern invention. They are a marketing tool. Awesome. Yet a cert doesn't equate to competence nor does not having one equate to incompetence.I know, talk to, and learn from people on both sides of those certifications. I've also listened to people on both sides who clearly had no idea what they were talking about.There are incredibly knowledgeable people with and without those pieces of paper. The more people are trained to think

What are you missing?

2025/08/10

I went on another quick adventure today and found a fun little park with lots of trails to explore.It's funny. I've lived here for close to 15 years now and never knew the places I've visited recently existed. I've done so many things around here except explore the woods, apparently 🤣Seriously, though. It made me think of life in general. What in your life have you never explored because you were scared, unsure, had a bad experience once, didn't think you were capable, or whatever other excuse
