Wessels talks strategy with fellow FIT contestant

Well this week held a bit a triumph for me.  I made it to the gym three days in a row.  I’ll be honest, I can’t remember the last time that that has happened.  It’s been at least two months.   While I’ve been pretty frustrated over the past couple months, I felt as though this week was a bit of a...

White is done with pizza

Hey everyone. Hope you guys are enjoying the rain. At least it’s not snowing yet. I just can’t believe the holidays are just around the corner. I just can’t wait to shop and enjoy all of the great sales. I had to work on Halloween, so I get to miss out on passing candy to the kids. I love to see...

Wilson: 'This has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do'

I had a good week with my outdoor activities. Rode my bike a lot and got to walk the dog some. It sounds like that will be coming to an end with all cold weather that's coming.

A hearty bowl of red chili just right for a chilly Halloween night

Last Halloween, everyone was apparently making chili, including me. The store was actually out of chili powder. I had decided to make what my kids call “regular” chili, which is red chili with tomatoes, bean and beef.

Chrislip: 'It's amazing what denial can do'

All I’ve been talking about is my training, which has been going great. Three days at the Sandusky Y with my personal trainer Joyce Niedzwiecki this past week. Another day, I went to the Norwalk Rec to swim, which only has two lap lanes and they were full, so I took part in a water aerobics class...

Wessels excited about next two months

Again, I’m writing about a week in which I didn’t get to the gym as much as I’d like.   I worked out twice this past week, but I’m ending this week feeling much more excited about the upcoming two months.  I’ve got a pretty good routine going with regards to getting to the gym in the mornings.  I...

11 tips for a successfully fit life

Fit people aren’t fit because of good luck, birth order or something they’ve inherited. They’re fit because they’ve adopted healthy habits and do things differently than most. During my 20-plus years in the fitness industry, I’ve worked with thousands of individuals and paid particularly close attention to the ones that seem “naturally” fit.

A small, but still sweet, take on caramel apples

Have you seen the size of caramel apples lately? No question, they are beautiful and I'm certain they are delicious. But how many people really are going to sit down and eat such mammoth sugar bombs, never mind feed one to their kid?
