About jamieweilhealthcoach

The Monday after Thanksgiving 2010, I started a plan to help shed some pounds. So much more has happened along that journey. Not only did I drop 85 pounds between then and May, I discovered a whole new health freak living inside me. Now, I'm about all things transformative, starting with an ideal healthy weight and lean muscle mass. There's much to learn and I am forever a student. My goal is to share what I've learned with others and help them on their own transformative paths. Visit me: www.jamieweil.net. (www.getstrongblog.com)

Now before you go and think I’ve gone all metaphysical on you (again), last Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal featured an article called “Doctor’s Orders: 20 Minutes of Meditation Twice a Day.” Not Om magazine, friends. The Wall Street Journal. We’re talking western … Continue reading

So Long, Stress Snacking

Punchy, isn’t it? Oh those magazine people and their catchy phrasing. This is the “I Did It!” feature in the May, 2013, Health magazine and, yeah, that’s moi. I talked to several editors during the creation of this piece and each … Continue reading

Fat Musings

This is me holding a pound of fat. Well, a fat replica actually. I’ve seen this visual before, but actually wrapping my phalanges around this bad boy made me ecstatic that I’m not carrying 85 of these fat clomps on … Continue reading

Psycho-sizology

As I was shoving myself into my Size 6 jeans last week (and I do mean shoving) I was feeling rather smug that I could–if I held my gut in–button them. This got me wondering why. I mean, who really … Continue reading

To Weigh or Not to Weigh…

…and what does that have to do with “thinking outside the box,” that sweet spot where the magic happens? The scale’s a funny thing for many of my Take Shape for Life clients (and me!) I’ve noticed a trend lately … Continue reading

Wanna play?
