Just1More Thought Before You Go!

Are you a snacker? A grazer? Maybe you eat three meals with a planned afternoon snack. Or maybe you find yourself nibbling all day long. Either way, those bites add up to the total calories you consume by the end of the day. Now let’s flip that idea and think about movement. Do you have a set workout time each day? Maybe you’re like me and love starting your morning with a gym session. Or maybe you’re like some of my friends who don’t even have a gym membership but are on the

My dad’s mom, “Grams” to me, is my only grandparent still living, and she’s 98 years old. Until just three years ago, she lived alone in upstate New York in my dad’s childhood home, built nearly 70 years ago. Grams was a single mom to three daughters and my dad, and she has always been extremely independent. After snowstorms, my dad would head over to plow her driveway, only to find her already outside shoveling it herself. What a champ she was, and still is! While her body h

I can get pretty obsessed with things. When I was younger and it was time for my first basketball jersey, two of my friends chose #22 and #23, so I chose #21. Ever since then, I’ve been obsessed with the number 21. When I was introduced to CrossFit, I went all in, training six mornings a week for multiple years. It was intense, and I was hooked. I’m also a huge New York Giants fan. My apartment is filled with Giants stuff, and I’m fully convinced that God’s favorite color is

Fun fact about me: eggs are my most favoritest food in the world! If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, eggs would definitely be it! In college, I’d walk into the cafeteria and one of the cooks would see me. A few minutes later, a huge plate of scrambled eggs (well, egg whites back then) would slide across the counter just for me. Naturally, I’d add a side of more eggs, hard-boiled, and a little sea salt. Growing up, I also loved when my mom made me “dunked eg

I love me some popcorn! It’s one of my favorite treats. I usually make it on the stove with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle it with Himalayan pink sea salt. So good…and now I want some. 🍿 But have you ever stopped to think about how popcorn actually works? You put the kernels in the pan, turn on the heat, and for several minutes…nothing happens. They just sit there. Then you hear the first pop  and get excited—but most of the kernels are still doing nothing. A moment lat

“Shooters shoot, Tobin!” That’s what my coach used to tell me, and I still hear it in my head from time to time. Whenever I do, it refocuses me. No matter how many shots I missed, I always believed the next one was going in. You can’t confidently step into a new version of yourself while staying focused on what didn’t work in the past. Growth doesn’t come from replaying failures—it comes from learning from them. Every experience, good or bad, has a lesson we can apply moving

Happy New Year, everyone! Although every day brings new opportunity for a reset, January typically brings an increased desire to press the reset button and focus on new goals for the year. Just remember, when we start something new—whether it’s a new habit, goal, or skill—the first 21-30 days aren’t about being perfect at it. It’s about training your emotions to build the consistency you need to improve over time. Changing a behavior or learning a new skill takes focused effo
