To DEXA or not? Brace yourself for truth.

The first time I got a DEXA scan was in 2012 when I was 51 years old. I was the leanest and most fit I’d ever been in my entire life. My total body weight was 124.2 pounds. My LBM (Lean Body Mass) was 104.5 pounds. My total body fat was 14.2 pounds.

I know that I am!

From a client today "I am struggling a bit right now. Had a vacation and went off the rails and can't seem to get my cravings in control. I also feel like I went so many days not fully accurately logging food and overeating that now I am looking to continue to eat t...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the gym
Not a dumbbell was lifted, but we entered on a whim;
The weight belts were hung on the wall by the door,
But we Nibbles Fitness ladies were doing pushups, there on the floor;

Others were nestled all snug in their Christmas pies,

Yesterday I finally said goodbye to my mother in law, Sue Winter Saum. I had put it off, not dealt with it, you know, compartmentalized the situation.

Anyone else ever do that? It's a survival mechanism. Many of us who have dealt with tragedies and loss in life can do that without even realizing it.

Come on. Let's be a shark. Already my day started with a check engine light.

Randy says I'm a cat. So what? I can be a shark.
