The Myth of Willpower and Fat Loss

Alright Big Dawgs, let’s continue our little conversation shall we …

A week doesn’t go by that I don’t either read an email or have someone tell me in person:

Man, I wish that I had the willpower you have to lose so much weight and keep it off!

It’s really the weirdest thing to experience because I feel as if people are putting me on pedestal because they think I must possess some sort of He-Man willpower. Well, I hate to disappoint you guys, but I don’t. (more…)

For All My Big Dawgs: Series Introduction

As I’m approaching the end of the first four weeks of my current 12 week cycle to reduce my body fat percentage, it’s caused me to reflect more on the challenges that I faced when I first began my journey.

Hey Fellas,

The wife and I just got back from the our second appointment with the “baby doctor”, and we just found out that we are having a little bouncing baby boy!!

I think my wife’s dream of having a little MMA or BJJ fighter might come to pass.  However, I’m not sure because the way he was gyrating his little hips while proudly displaying that he’s a boy, made me think that we might have a future Chippendale Dancer on our hands

I’ll post ultrasound pictures either tonight or tomorrow ….

Liquid Calories: Your Fat Loss Sleeping Policemen

One culture that I’ve always been fascinated with is Jamaican culture.  Maybe it was the 10+ years that I sported dreadlocks or just the infectious rhythms of their music, but I’ve always felt a special connection to the island.  Also, having visited there more than 5 times, and having a god-mother in Kingston, probably adds to my fascination with their beautiful culture.

But, one thing that I truly love about Jamaican culture is their very colorful and descriptive language, which is  patois/patwa.  Well, one of the times when I was in “Jamdown” taking a cab to New Kingston, the driver told me to hold on because there were a bunch of “sleeping policemen” ahead.
