An Open Letter on Community…

Posted by on December 20, 2010 at 10:51 am

Some of you know I’ve been working furiously on my Paleo Diet eBook these last few weeks. It’s been great to get back to “real” writing in a word processor and take a more serious tone in my work. It reminds me of college and that’s kinda cool. The other thing this project has done [...]

Still Not Good Enough…

Posted by on December 19, 2010 at 2:23 pm

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs [...]

This is My Journey – Guest Post by Linda McFeeters

Posted by on December 12, 2010 at 8:08 pm

One of the things I LOVE about being part of Strong is the New Skinny is all the incredible people I get to meet. My new friend Linda McFeeters just happened to post on SINS about her training goals and a bunch of weight she lost. I can be pretty impulsive at times and I [...]

Body Image, Food Addiction and “I’m not good enough…”

Posted by on November 14, 2010 at 12:42 pm

A wise ape once told me that if I wasn’t getting hate mail no one was reading my stuff. Well, people are reading my stuff! Actually, it really isn’t all that bad. I get about 20 positive responses to what I write for each negative one. It’s funny that we always focus on the negative [...]

Where’d the science go?

Posted by on November 10, 2010 at 11:23 am

I woke up pissed off today. Not sure why. I could venture a few guesses but that would be a waste of good, ranty writing time My friend Robb Wolf posted a great story on his blog today. It was by a girl who calls herself “Fat Girl.” I guess it struck a cord with [...]

It only takes 1,000…

Posted by on November 1, 2010 at 10:53 am

The “Strong is the New Skinny” Facebook page is approaching 10,000 members. Sure, 10,000 is a nice round number but there’s actually something more significant about it. As far as Seth Godin is concerned, 1,000 is all you need to have a movement. The basic idea Seth is talking about is that it only takes [...]

Posted by on October 17, 2010 at 4:02 pm

Needless to say, Marsha Tieken Christensen and I are overwhelmed and thrilled at the success of “Strong is the New Skinny.” SO many people have gotten behind the movement and support it.

Healthy is the New Skinny, Too?

Posted by on October 1, 2010 at 10:16 am

I want to thank my friend Linda Gill for giving me some inspiration to write this morning. She had a thread going on Facebook talking about how important it is to buy and eat local organic food. This is something I’ve been passionate about for a long time and it really got me thinking (Those [...]

Marsha Tieken-Christensen Interview

Posted by on September 12, 2010 at 1:37 pm

Marsha and I met on Facebook. I live in Connecticut and she lives in Texas. Not much in common really. At least not on the surface. She’s a wife and mother of 3 and I’m a single guy with a dog and a bunch of cats. What we had in common initially is that we [...]
