Yes it's Saturday morning, yes there is snow and yes I am skiing today, but no teaching this weekend... this is a relax and play weekend, skiing with my wife and enjoying the winter wonderland in the Laurel Mountains just east of Pittsburgh. All this means a more relaxing start to the day, and I'm thoroughly enjoying a frothy mug of bulletproof coffee. Black coffee with 2 tablespoons of MCT oil, frothed until creamy and smooth, is my new keto-friendly self-indulgence. However, it's not just a treat to be enjoyed for those of us on a ketogenic diet (vegan ketogenic in my case)... the healthy fats in the MCT oil (refined coconut oil), also known Medium Chain Triglycerides, are quickly processed by the body and go straight to the liver to be converted into energy (ketones) and the coffee helps with some calorie burn as well. The MCT oil is a great alternative to putting dairy (or worse, non-dairy!) creamers in your coffee, as it doesn't trigger any systemic inflammation, nor does it trigger any insulin spikes (nobody wants to start the day riding the blood sugar rollercoaster!!). Get outside and enjoy the day! #eathealthy #eatcleantrainmean #plantbased #plantpowered #functionalfitness #fitover50 #veganathlete #keto #veganketo bulletproof #healthandwellness #healingjourney #healthcoach #changeyourlife #choices #ketocoffee #ski #skitheeast #ketosis #7springs #sparkthechange #getoutside https://www.instagram.com/p/BsiZgVCAFZy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lsd831u64hki

Quick and easy vegan keto dinner tonight... grilled organic tofu with sriracha bbq sauce, a diced avocado, a healthy serving of bok Choi, kale and shredded carrot, herbs and spices sauteed in coconut oil, and a side of curried kraut... 440 calories, 44g of healthy fats, 16g protein and 8g carbs. The machine is running lean and clean these days #eatcleantrainmean #veganketo #ketovegan #plantpowered #veganathlete #fitover50 #keto #intermittentfasting #changeyourlife #takecharge #healthyself #foodismedicine #afib #healthandwellness #lowcarb #vegansofinstagram #skiseason #macros #instafit #chooserightnoteasy https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgoLN7ghl9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11rsn166kzz0b

Disappointed that theweather has warned up and its raining instead of snowing... was looking forward all week to getting out on the slopes, teaching some lessons, getting a few runs in, but also, it's now a great day to spend with honey, getting the mountain house ready for Christmas, kids coming home, etc. Truth be told, a quiet day in the mountains with a good book, a fire, my wife and the dog is most therapeutic and may just be what the universe intended for today ✌⛷🌧 #mountainlife #cabinliving #rainyday #eathealthy #plantpowered #keto #intermittentfasting #veganathlete #veganketo #yoga #grateful #readyforwinter #skitheeast #eatcleantrainmean #changeyourlife #afib #healingjourney #healthandwellness #afibhealthcoach https://www.instagram.com/p/BraeKO4ATwt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wre4u1s6t3vw

After an intense travel and work schedule where despite my best efforts to eat clean and vegan and get the exercise I need and desire to thrive, I have spent the last week dialing in the diet, ramping up on the intermittent fasting, changing my workouts and today I slipped back into ketosis. For me, a side from the numerous physical and metabolic benefits, the greatest part is the light that literally comes on in my head as my brain shifts into overdrive, but is running so efficiently that it doesn't even seem like its working. A wonderful, blissful gift on a Friday afternoon. #keto #intermittentfasting #ketogenicdiet #eathealthy #nutrition #veganathlete #plantpowered #getoutside #ski #skitheeast #ketosis #eatcleantrainmean #foodismedicine #healingjourney #afibhealthcoach #changeyourlife #fitover50 #instafit #plantbased #vegansofinstagram #sandbagtraining https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYKkXwAmsN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h647015iux3z

You have to get to the point where you realize that you need to live your definition of a perfect life... not anyone else's. It may take time and effort, and there will be many mistakes and (sometimes painful) lessons along the way, but when you reach the point where you can and have crafted your version of a perfect life you will feel it in all you do, and in all that you are... #mindfulness #selfawareness #dailypractice #lifeisgood #lessismore #lessons #perfectlife #perspective #personaldevelopment #yourlife #inspiration #motivation #whoareyou #healthyself #healthandwellness #changeyourlife #gratitude #healthcoach #afib #healingjourney #fitness #instafit #plantpowered #vegan #getreal #getoutside #birthday #insight #wisdom #55 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrIoccTgr2L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ndl15hd8x6vc

Not that I feel older today than I did yesterday, or last year or 5 years ago... quite the opposite, I can't remember feeling this good since I was in my late 20's. Nonetheless, being "Level 55" does sound like more of an accomplishment, more of an achievement, than simply saying I've been alive on this rock hurtling through space for 55 years. (There must be something to all this clean eating, daily exercise, mindfulness and optimal nutrition after all!!). Here's to "Leveling Up" for a long time to come. I'd like to play this game until I get to Level 120, when, as a Grand Master, I can merge with the Force like Yoda in #ROTJ #birthday #55 #fitover50 #fitdad #fitness #nutrition #veganathlete #vegansofinstagram #plantbased #plantpowered #selfawareness #dailypractice #gratitude #yoga #ski #getoutside #mountainlife #lifeisgood #skitheeast #skiinstructor #snowpro #family #tribe #vegan #keto #mindfulness #appreciation #eatcleantrainmean #level55 #afib #healthandwellness #changeyourlife #healthyself #foodismedicine #faith https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDig7XAzqi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xa8uobi5lwer

Trade show exhaustion... 26 customer and 5 vendor meetings in 48 hours, plus day to day calls, issues, problems and opportunities. Always moving forward, and striving to work disproportionately harder than everyone around me for 30 years... playing the long game.

Early flight to Chicago this morning... up at zero dark thirty for workout, protein shake and drive to airport, then after a couple hours of cranking out proposals in the Admirals Club before boarding, and a 10 minute catnap before takeoff, its time to read up on the merits of traditional vs. self-publishing.

So damn proud of this young man... three quarters of the way through basic training (life's best summer camp) on leave weekend last weekend. Can't wait to see him in mid-August for graduation then home for a few days before sophomore year as ROTC cadet at #norwichuniversity begins. #cadet #norwich #rotc #army #service #dedication #personaldevelopment #trialbyfire #yesyoucan #driven #service #selfdetermination
