If you’ve lost the same weight over and over, you’re not broken; turns out you are an actual human. You’ve just been using short‑term diets for a long‑term goal, and that is a tough deal to keep up.

Let’s go through a few steps to help you fix that today.

1. Quick Diet History

Grab paper. For each “diet” you’ve tried in the last 5 years, write down:

-How long you stuck with it

-What you restricted

-What worked

-What broke it

It doesn’t have to be in-depth or super accurate. Patterns will jump out. Those show us where to start.

2. Pick ONE Daily Practice (Choose the one you’re 90% sure you can hit 5+ days/week)

A. Protein + Produce at Lunch & Dinner

B. Eat Slowly to ~80% Full

C. Protein With Breakfast Every Day

Any is fine. Confidence beats perfection.

3. Install an Afternoon “If–Then”

Example:

If it’s 2:30–4:30 pm and I want chips, then I will:

-Drink 8–12 oz water

-Eat my planned anchor snack (protein + produce),

-Wait 10 min. If I still want chips, I’ll portion a small bowl and sit to enjoy them.

We’re sequencing, not banning.

4. Track Consistency, Not Perfection

Make a weekly scorecard:
Let’s say your goal is to have protein at 2 out of 3 meals per day. Count how many days of the week you accomplish that.

When you average 5 out of 7 days over 2–3 weeks, we add the next practice.

5. Measure What Matters

Check weekly:
-Energy (1–5)

-Hunger control/cravings

-Clothes fit or waist measurement

-Weight (optional, trend over time)

You don’t need another extreme diet. You need small, repeatable upgrades that survive busy days.

If you need help creating AND sticking to that plan, I’m pretty good at helping people do that :) Just reply and type Plan if you want to learn how that might work for you.

There is a better way,

The Story of Relentless Positivity Fitness/Huntsville Adventure Boot Camp

Since we just passed 16 years of RPF/HABC (16 YEARS!) I thought I would give you a little rundown on some of the things I've been pondering. So many memories from over the years.

16 years ago, I was working full-time on Redstone Arsenal, part-time at Huntsville Hospital, coaching football at Challenger Middle School, and training private clients in their homes.

Things were going well, but I felt like I was meant to do more, and I needed a way to spend more time with my family. And I knew I was meant to help more people and change more lives.

My dad was the one who started this whole thing. He said, "Have you ever heard of these boot camps? I think you would be good at it."

He gave me the idea, supported me however/whenever I needed it, encouraged me, and never doubted me. Thanks Dad!

So I started with one 530am class. My dream was to have a place where women could lift each other up, inspire each other, make lifelong friends, and inject a heavy dose of positivity into their lives.

It has been a huge blessing to see that come to fruition.

I've seen my clients get each other through:
-Cancer
-Surgeries
-Depression-
-Substance abuse
-Loss of parents
-Loss of children
-Loss of siblings
-Loss of spouses
-Divorces
-Losing jobs
-Furloughs
-Pandemics
-Burpees (sorry, I know better now)

And they played a big part in helping me get through the loss of my brother.

Over the years, I've seen lifelong friendships form in class. Strangers doing strange exercises one day and then BFFs a few weeks later. So cool to see.

When I was coming up with the blueprint of what I wanted my boot camp to look like I thought about my mom. She's the one I modeled the classes after and how I go about treating people.

The majority of the people who come to class are moms. I always ask myself how I would like another coach to treat my mom.

I would always have a level of exercise that suits them, and no one would ever be left behind. Everyone would get results no matter what shape they are in. And nobody would ever be left behind or feel like they didn't belong.

And when people get intimidated about class, I can always tell them, "Well my mom comes..."

By supporting me for past 16 years you have:
-had houses built in Nicaragua
-clothed foster kids
-clothed, fed, and given transportation to our local homeless population
-kept homeless families together
-given veterans health care
-given money, clothes, food, and home repairs to tornado victims
-provided school supplies for kids who desperately needed them
-money for brain cancer research-helped flood victims
-dog adoptions
-provided hope and happiness to kids with brain cancer
-helped young girls get mentors
-money for breast cancer research and experiences for breast cancer survivors

And that is just the stuff I remember off the top of my head! I'm surrounded by givers :)

And that's the beauty of a local, small business. No red tape, so asking for permission. I am completely allowed to give away all my money 🤣

Over 1500 women have attended our classes over the years. We've had over 11,000 classes and changed countless lives. Those numbers are crazy to me.

I never thought I would own a business, much less one that has impacted so many lives.

Thank you.

For reading my e-mails, attending my classes, training with me online, telling someone about classes, listening to my podcast, buying my book, or just giving me an encouraging word.

It all means the world to me.

You have changed my life, and I can't thank you enough.

Forever grateful.

The Sliver of Hope

She was 46.

Two closets: clothes that used to fit and “for now” stretchy stuff.

Smiling in group photos by standing behind everyone else.

Joints hurt. Sleep wrecked. Mind darker than she let on.

She didn’t schedule workouts. She googled “how to disappear without hurting my family.” That’s how far down the hole she slid.

Then came the sliver of hope.

A voicemail from her college-aged daughter:

“Hey Mom, I know you’ve been tired. I don’t care how fast we go. Will you come walk with me on Saturday?”

She almost deleted it. Listened again. Saved it. That one invite cracked the dark just enough for light to leak in.

Saturday she showed up late. Wrong shoes. Jeans. Breathing heavy by the second block. Her daughter didn’t care. Handed her a water bottle and said, “Same time next week?”

That was the foothold.

From that foothold, real change, ugly, uneven, but real, started.

-She told her doctor she was not okay. Said the words out loud. (Truth beats pretending.)

-Got screened for depression; started counseling. (Professional help > white-knuckle willpower.)

-Therapist had her track mood vs. movement. Days she walked? Mood ticked up. Data not hype, built belief.

-Swapped one drive-thru dinner a week for a “protein + veg” 5-minute plate. Then two nights. Then most nights.

-Joined a women’s small-group strength class because “they text if you miss” accountability > motivation.

-Started sending her daughter a nightly check-in: “Walk done.” Daughter replied, “Proud of you.” Dopamine > donuts.

Twelve months later: less weight, yes, but more importantly, less shame, less isolation, less “I’m broken.” More energy. Better bloodwork. Fewer dark thoughts. She rebuilt a life by stacking tiny truths.

Her truths were:
-I showed up.
-People helped.
-Small wins count.
-I still matter.

What We Can Learn From This:
1. Hope arrives disguised as a small invite. Answer it.

Don’t wait to “feel ready.” Walk anyway.

2. Data beats drama.

Track habits and mood. Patterns prove progress when emotions lie.

3. Outsource willpower.

Tell someone. Join a group. Put money or people on the line so you show up.

4. Add before you subtract.

Add water, add protein, add walks. Junk falls off when the good stuff crowds it out.

5. Progress hides in repetition.

Eight minutes became eighty. One check-in became a routine. Consistency compounds.

Your Move (Start Today)
Text: “Will you walk with me this week? I need the accountability.”
Book: doctor, counselor, or fitness intro whichever you’ve avoided longest.
Move: 5 minutes right now. Hallway laps count. Mark it down.

That’s your sliver of hope. That's all you really need. We can build the foothold together.

If You’re in Crisis
If thoughts of harming yourself are real or urgent, please get help now:

U.S.: Call or text 988 (Su***de & Crisis Lifeline).
Emergency: Call 911.

Outside the U.S.: Contact local emergency services or visit an international helpline directory (search “suicide crisis helpline” + your country).

You are not alone. Reach out.

I want to acknowledge the photo that’s been circulating of me hugging a giant donut, and the disappointment it may have caused. What was meant to be a fun, lighthearted moment turned into a very public reminder of a personal slip.

I owe a sincere apology to my wife, my family, my blood sugar, and my team at Relentless Positivity Fitness. You deserve better from me as a partner, parent, coach, ginger, and example. This isn’t the consistency or accountability I preach, and it’s not how I want to represent the company we’ve built.

I’m taking a step back to reflect, own the lapse, and reset my habits both personally and professionally. I ask for a little grace and privacy while I do that work.

I also find it troubling that a lighthearted, off‑the‑meal plan moment became public without my consent, despite me eating it in the middle of the Parkway during rush hour. I respect entertainers and viral culture, but I hope we can all think harder about turning everyday eating into a spectacle.

As one song reminds us: “Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you.” I’m fixing this, one meal and one choice at a time, starting now.

I've learned hundreds of lessons over the past 16 years, but I thought I would share 16 of the life and business lessons I've learned from building Relentless Positivity. Maybe it can help someone else. Either way, it's been such a blessing, and I'm so grateful for the journey!

1. Consistency beats intensity.
Small daily actions compound more powerfully than occasional big pushes. Show up, even if quietly. I've seen this work in business and fitness.

2. People first, results second.
When people know you care deeply, they'll exceed expectations willingly. Care + Plan + Support + Accountability= Success.Formula
I love people and see potential in everyone I meet. Try taking that perspective sometime and see how far it takes you.

3. Comparison is a distraction.
Keep your eyes on your own path. Progress comes fastest when you chase fulfillment, not competition.

4. Listen closely, coach clearly.
Great coaching happens when you deeply understand your client's needs first. Not what YOU THINK they want/need.

5. Your lows shape you more than your highs.
The hard times are coming; no one avoids them. How you respond will determine your destiny.

6. The best marketing is authenticity.
People are drawn to realness, not perfection. Your genuine vibe attracts the right tribe. When I first started, I thought I had to be the baked chicken and broccoli guy who spoke in scientific muscle terms and was very serious.

My business took off when I allowed the true goofiness that is my nature to come out.

7. Celebrate tiny wins.
Acknowledging small victories fuels motivation and builds momentum. We get more of what we celebrate.

8. Never underestimate your impact.
One encouraging word can change someone’s entire trajectory. I have so many amazing stories about how a quick check-in, a kind word, a smile, or a tiny gesture made a huge impact.

There are a lot of people struggling and lonely out there. Can you share a little kindness today?

9. Boundaries protect your passion.
Saying no preserves the energy required to give your best yes. You're not putting a wall up, just a fence with a gate. And you are in charge of who gets to come in and out of that gate. I'm still a work in progress, but I'm getting better.

10. Strong is more than physical.
Training bodies is rewarding, but empowering minds transforms lives. Proving to yourself that you can show up in your workouts helps you show up more and better in other areas of your life, too. Do hard things.

11. Gatekeeping is just scarcity thinking wearing a business suit. Gating-keeping drives me crazy. I believe in the saying that "A rising tide lifts all ships." When you hoard contacts or guard ideas, growth caps at the limits of your own effort. Your referrals, encouragement, and open playbook lift every boat, including yours.

Oddly enough, by sending clients who aren’t a perfect fit to a neighboring business, you strengthen your brand’s uniqueness and widen the market for everyone. Collaboration beats competition

12. Progress requires discomfort.
Growth isn’t found in comfort zones; embrace discomfort as proof of progress. I started doing public speaking years ago, and it was painful. So painful. It was a fear of mine, and it would make me almost throw up just thinking about it.

But if you are truly committed to your mission, you do whatever it takes. I only get slightly nauseous now :)

13. Rest is productive.
Recovery isn’t wasted time; it's essential fuel for lasting success. "Always grinding" = burnout.

14. Clarity comes through action.
Don’t wait for perfect conditions. Planning and research can be helpful, but they can also be an anchor of inaction. Take imperfect steps, and clarity follows.

15. Joy multiplies when shared.
Celebrate your clients’ journeys loudly. Their victories become yours.

16. Relentless positivity is a choice.
Crazy as it sounds, I get pushback on being a positive person. And if we're talking about fake positivity, then I get it. I'm not talking about being fake and acting like everything is fine when your house is on fire.

I'm talking about making a choice to be positive and optimistic repeatedly, especially in challenging moments. Positivity isn't passive; it's intentional and it's active.

You have the choice too. Why would you ever choose to be negative? Like the old saying goes, how's that working for you so far?

My business is officially 16 years old now! We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve worn giant panties.

Still hard to believe it’s still alive and kicking with all the mistakes I’ve made!

That’s the beauty of working with women, especially moms, lot of grace and forgiveness 😊

We’ve been through births, deaths, marriages, and divorces.

I had a little hair, it’s gone too.

The name of the business changed, started working with kids too.

What hasn’t changed is that I get the opportunity to work with some of my favorite people in the world.

Still the most positive, supportive, and uplifting place in town.

Thank you to everyone who helped me get here!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you are not hungry. Find something to keep yourself busy for the next 20 to 30 minutes. If you’re still hungry, have a light snack.
