The focus of this week’s consultation was defiantly on HOME COOKING! I am stressing the importance of preparing and cooking meals at home vs buying food everyday. Not only are the benefits good for the body…its also great for ya wallet too!!! Eating well consistently takes persistence, discipline and pre planning. I told Chris we have to take it one meal at a time…and this means focusing on Breakfast first.  He has to prepare his breakfast the night before so he’s not hustling out the…

Project Fat Boy Slim: Update

Fat-Boy-Slim

From the #PFS Blog Support circles.. Another good week under the belt for Chris. His dedication to training has been impressive as I know he has had his doubters. It is very easy for one to fall off the metaphorical wagon. We all do at some point. Yes, even the trainers. In my case, the ability to maintain a direct or specific shortened workout has saved me in periods of ‘falling off’ from falling completely flat. So that falling off for each of us is…

Project Fat Boy Slim – Week 3

PFS 620 x 330

Words of motivation from friends and well wishers keep pouring in. This keeps me focused on my main objective. I met with Dietitian and Sports Nutritionist Jordanna Hadeed this week, I was educated about do’s and dont’s of eating healthy and the importance of having a proper diet. A proper diet plan would be created for me and my progress will be monitored weekly. I was shown what five pounds of fat looked like *uggh*. Seeing that fat made me feel to workout harder in training…

Project Fat Boy Slim Week 2

Set goals, keep your eye on the prize, stay focused and you will achieve them! Yea it may sound like the normal motivational rhetoric, but the reason for that is because it’s TRUE!  I am getting better at the “stop-to-stops”, so my mini goal for this week is almost complete. I feel more motivated after each training session. It’s making P.F.S. much easier. It helps too that the word has spread about P.F.S, everyone is monitoring what I eat and offering words of encouragement. I…

Child Support Payments? A.I. ain’t got time…errr money for that!

Allen Iverson

Apparently, the “answer” to a court ruling in February where a judge ordered former NBA superstar, Allen Iverson, to fork over $8,000.00 a month in child support is a resounding no! According to A.I’s ex-wife Tawanna, he now owes $40,000 in back child support. In recently filed court documents, she is asking a judge to force Iverson to pay $40,000 and throw him in jail if necessary. Ouch! The court hearing is set for next week. Sigh, gosh boy Allen! The following piece might have something to do…

It’s the beginning of week 2 and through all the pain I’m pumped up and ready to go. This journey is going to be a long one, so I’m taking it one session at a time. I know my transformation is not going to happen overnight, but I have my eyes fixed on the final goal. I really appreciate the  words of encouragement from everyone, to the training squad, the SCORCH family and the SCORCHERS online, I say thank you. To me, failure is not…

Project Fat Boy Slim – Week 1

Fat-Boy-Slim

So the first week of Project Fat Boy Slim has passed and to tell you the truth it’s not what I expected. I didn’t use weights at all this week, but for some reason I feel like I’ve been hit by a big truck and then both me and the truck flew over a cliff … into a volcano. Don’t talk about the morning after, you feel even worse. All that being said it’s the first week and I expected the pain, so things should…

Now as you know, SCORCH is a lifestyle brand. Yes, a big part of what we do involves partying, pumping, kicks and so on but there is a more serious side to things as well. While this may not be what we are best known for, it is something we pride ourselves in nonetheless. The “Project FatBoy Slim” (P.F.S.) concept was born out of this. We essentially wanted to set someone on a path of health, strength and overall well being We didn’t have to…
