This Monday, we started a nutrition challenge at CFNE that I am so fired up about that I want to write about it here to see if I can get any cyber buddies to jump on board with until May 24th. Every class is doing their own thing, but here is what I’m having my class get on board with. Sleep: a minimum of 7-8 hours every night. Nutrition: make 1 major change + 3…
Just about every morning, I need to remind Bode…as he completely tortures and teases Harley Love over breakfast…about how he should be behaving and treating people.

You guys, I wish you were there last night to witness me at an all-time parenting low.

I’ve been doing so much preaching about “living a life of transparency”: I was a guest on Ben’s podcast this week talking about it, I wrote a blog post yesterday about it, and we had a lengthy talk with Jonah about it last night at dinner.
