The Road to 185 This is me setting a weight goal. 185lbs. 84kg for those who prefer metric. As a Canadian we end up switching between imperial and metric all the time, it’s whacky.

Setting Goals is Destroying Your Goals I was on a call with a client the other day and in the middle of a typical Coach Taylor rant when I stopped mid-sentence. Made my client grab a pen and paper to write down my thoughts (I was hiking with the dog during the call…a typical Coach …
