Had the chance to meet two heroes of mine at the expo recently. It was an absolute honor to shake their hand and thank them for what they’ve done and what they stand for.

Do an 18 min EMOM they said... we’ll call it a “rebuild” they said...
A wise coach once said you don’t need “harder” workouts, you need to “go harder” in your workouts...

Simple home fitness. If you weren’t aware, a thruster is a full front squat into a standing press overhead as one movement. But maybe ignorance is bliss...

Wow, definitely the most challenging one yet! Using a 53lb kettlebell, I made it to 120 of the thruster reps. Check out for a great cause, there’s still time to donate!

As much as I love pull-ups, I’ve had regular gym access for so long that I don’t have a pull-up bar at my house! Thankfully a well placed rafter just inside my garage attic opening allows for some quality strict work. This was part of the NCFIT NC45 programming for yesterday.

It’s the little things in life. No that’s not all the six bucks bought, I got a drip coffee and a sticker for my laptop too. The soda water came with the ristretto, as it always should.

Just another day at the office.
Best job in the world.

🍕PIZZA, PIZZA 🍕

I had to hurry to get this picture, because the guys at the station weren’t wasting any time getting their plates!! This was a buffalo chicken flatbread pizza with onions and mushrooms. With Flatout brand flatbreads, buffalo sauce, classic ranch, grilled chicken tenderloins,and just enough pizza blend shredded cheese, this makes a terrific low-carb, high-protein meal that’s easy to sneak a load of veggies into with the sautéed onions and mushrooms.

Whipped up a quick batch of protein pancakes this morning at the fire station. Turned out yummy! Topped them with some sugar free syrup and an apple that I sliced, sprinkled just a little cinnamon sugar on, then microwaved for 2 minutes. Who says healthy eating can’t also be delicious?!

to last week’s mission trip to Turks and Caicos. Behind the facade of 5-star resorts and #1 rated beaches is the reality of poverty, fear, and depression. Meeting some basic short term medical needs opened the door to share the only thing that can meet their eternal spiritual need, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Honored to have had the chance to be a small part of what God is doing through , with some of my family and others from and .
