Some professional news: I have accepted a position as a loan officer at Firstar Bank here in town. I’m nervous, excited and scared all at the same time but I feel like this is the right move for my family and I at this point. After a lot of prayer and soul searching the time just seems right. Is personal training and helping others change their lives still my passion? Of course, and I’m still going to continue to with my online programs and Hillary will continue the Reform For Her classes (duh). The game changer for me was that I just couldn’t see myself retiring as a personal trainer. Not that there is anything wrong with that at all. There isn’t. I just don’t know if I will be able to bring the same “juice” my clients expect from me when I’m 45 trying to train full time and I can’t accept anything other than 100% effort. This new chapter is going to have ups and downs like any other but I am excited to be able to continue to be in the people business and being able to help others change their lives. Just like I’m the go to for many in the fitness and nutrition world, I plan to be your go to when you need anything from your local banker, too. Cheers to a new journey. A fresh start. A new challenge. Your (new) local banker and the only banker you’ll ever need, Chris Pearson GallerySome professional news: I have accepted a position as a loan officer at Firstar Bank here in town.

Good/Bad Foods Don’t Exist The notion that some foods are inherently bad (or good) is one of the dumbest things the internet tries to sell you every single day. Are some foods better than others? Of course. Will eating a lot of Twinkies get you closer to those washboard abs you’ve been working for? Probably not. The point is to show you that no food can possibly be “bad” on its own. If you want some ice cream, eat some ice cream. You wont die, promise. Making solid food choices 100% of the time is tough, but it gets even tougher when you throw in self guilt for eating something that you’ve seen characterized as bad. Let’s reframe how you think about food. Picture foods without labeling them as “good” or “bad” in your head. Instead, before you eat any food think about whether that food will take you closer or further away from your goals. That’s it. I’ll let you in on a secret: It’s OKAY to choose a food every once in a while thats wont take you closer to your goals. Now, if you start making those decisions frequently you’ll know exactly why you didn’t make any progress since the last time you measured. Life is too short to cut (x) food out because someone hiding behind a keyboard read a study performed with 3 males (who were also dogs) and two female cats that showed eating bananas are bad for you. Have you ever seen a heavy person who got that way by solely eating too many bananas and veggies? Me either. Save this post for when you feel yourself slipping back into the old habit of labeling foods as “good” or “bad”. ❤️ GalleryGood/Bad Foods Don’t Exist The notion that some foods are inherently bad (or good) is one of the dumbest things the internet tries to sell you every single day.
