It's time for another Warrior Recipe - we're going with a main dish today! Try this one out this weekend to rediscover the Sweet Potato! Don't mind the photo... I overdid the parsley (which is supposed to be cilantro... but what are you going to do after there's no cilantro at two grocery stores?) - it's all about being flexible and dancing in the kitchen! PDF version available here ! Enjoy Warriors!

This post is a flash back to October 2018 and our Team activity to take on our Fear of Confronting Cause!!! What is it that stops you in life?  In your healthy living goals - or your work - or your relationships?  What do you want to do that you don't actually do? What would be available in your life if you took that action?  Choose something outside your comfort zone daily to keep pushing yourself forward... Don't let your Fear of Confronting Cause get between you and what you want for your life! Enjoy the video of our little journey out on the "edge" - 1,168 feet, or 116 stories above Toronto! This was a truly exhilarating experience - and a whole new way to see my city! We all had a blast - and like everything in life... once you actually take it on... wasn't actually that scary at all! I got really present to how much we make up the story in our minds about things - not scary - just a blast! Get out there and cause your life today! CJ

Hey there! I'm CJ Tremeer - a Healthy Living Warrior!  I'm a Gay Personal Trainer - and I help gay men struggling with body image, unhealthy habits, or self confidence to become mental and physical healthy living warriors through individualized exercise & nutrition programs! I spent my teens and 20s battling body image, self esteem, and emotional eating issues, and trying to work up enough strength and courage to come out. It was a long lonely process - and wildly unsuccessful for the most part.
