Happy Monday everyone!  I'm not exactly loaded with time these days, as I've been busy with clients, training myself, oh and planning a wedding. (Correction: watching Lindsay plan our wedding..)

Yet, despite being busy, I was able to catch the Grammys last night and I came away with several revelations:

1. Lorde looks a lot like Marla Hooch from "A League Of Their Own"
2. Not only does Taylor Swift look like a Praying Mantis, she dances like one too.

I know, your mind was just blown too.  Anyway, I've had my nose dug into the nutritional realm over the past several weeks, and I've come across a few posts I wanted to share with all of you.  Why?  Because they're frikken awesome reads....that's why.

Every now and then, I get the opportunity to go to a regular gym and get a training session in.  I live a pretty pampered life when I lift, since I work out in a private studio when there's pretty much no one around.  As such, I don't have to worry about particular equipment being taken, the creepy/greasy/smelly guys in sweatsuits, and dudes doing bicep curls in the squat rack.

During one of these trips to another gym last month, I overheard the following fragment of conversation:

"Sup brohammerstein?  That was a killer workout, I was so sore the next day."**

But, what if soreness wasn't really indicative of progress?  Is soreness just....soreness?  In a word, maybe.

There are a few pearls of wisdom from Yogi Berra that I absolutely love.  For example:

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

"You better cut the pizza in four slices because I'm not hungry enough to eat six"

AND

"You can observe a lot just by watching."

But, there's one quote that comes to mind when the calendar is reset, and gyms are flooded with New Years resolutions: "If you don't know where you're going, you'll end up someplace else." 

I hope everyone had a great New Year, and of course, happy 2014!

Contrary to what many of you might be thinking, I did stay awake until midnight (I was shocked too).  But, that was probably because I half expected Miley Cyrus to be riding the Times Square ball on the way down, and consequently being the "wrecking ball" to all of society's New Years celebrations...

Heyo!

Happy Holidays everyone!  I hope you had a Merry Christmas (if applicable, of course), and that Santa was as great to you as he was to me.

On a related note, don't the days immediately after Christmas - but preceding the New Year - just feel like the outro from the song "Layla?"
