Episode 274 - Rachel Lavin - Author of The Doughnut Diaries/Personal Trainer/Certified Life Coach 

“I turned 40…I was so tired of being unfulfilled…Whatever the “new thing” was, I tried it…Any diet is a repackaged restriction…” 

“It’s never too late to be happy. 

What is a “doughnut diary?” In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Rachel Lavin explains exactly what led her to write, The Doughnut Diaries: A Personal Trainer’s Tale of Being Every Size from 12 Through 0! After over twenty years as a fitness professional, Rachel is finally breaking her silence about how her love-hate relationship with doughnuts led to a life-changing epiphany. While Rachel does NOT promote the overindulgence of the sweet treat, she does promote the power of loving yourself in order to stop the “madness of dieting, restricting foods, or using exercise to make yourself smaller.” Get ready for a glimpse into what your life could look like once you stop hating your body and realizing that you are not alone.

Book: Craving Freedom: The R4 Method to Overcoming Food Addiction

“As a kid, I didn’t realize that I had a problem.”

Christine Runs 100 Miles! - Episode 231

Episode 231 - Christine Runs 100 Miles!

“To finish a 100 mile race, it’s not about physical toughness…it’s about mental toughness and

mindset.”

“There was never a doubt in my mind that I would not finish…the key was to find a wolfpack and stick together…we promised each other we would all finish.” - Christine

What must it be like to run 100 miles? In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies bring you the long-awaited recap of the C and O Canal 100 Mile Race! Sit back and take in all the craziness as Brian asks Christine how she got her hands on one of the most coveted prizes in the ultra-endurance world, a finishers belt buckle. Listen up as Christine dishes out the wild details of what goes into completing an ultra-endurance race. From gathering a loyal crew, eating a pound of bacon, climbing muddy cliffs in pitch black pouring rain, to spotting black bear cubs and dealing with hallucinations, you will want to run out and sign up for the next ultra-event near you. That may be a bit of a lie after you hear about the toenail casualties and the fact that over half of the athletes that showed up at the starting line never finished. Also, hear a huge shout out to Angel Bob, Dr. Mindy, Shannon, and Marley the Puppy for being the best crew in the world, and of course Mike Conti! Wait until you hear about how Christine’s husband stepped up in the middle of a cold rainy night to pace her in for the last 30 miles. That goodness for old school rap music!

If you forgot why this podcast is called the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone, prepare to be reminded! Now go out and do something fit crazie!

Stay Healthy! Stay Crazie!

Get ready to find your “WHY!” In this episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Sgt. Ken Weichert will challenge you to uncover your purpose on this planet through a deep exploration of your “why.” Returning to the show, this time as a solo act who can give a great interview while also cooking for his 3-year-old daughter, Sgt. Ken discusses how he was able to fully embrace a life of love and service that began with a crippling spinal injury during his senior year on the football field. While Ken’s football dreams might have been behind him, he did however, flourish in college as a theatre, film, and opera major. Sgt. Ken also speaks about his decision to join the military and how his multiple deployments affected life. As he so eloquently states in this episode, these experiences were the catalyst that provided him the tools necessary to help others understand the power of “love languages.” Currently, Sgt. Ken continues to make a tremendous impact on the world through his mentoring and mastermind programs, speaking engagements, educational workshops and beyond. Get a pen, grab some paper, and get ready to be inspired by the one, the only, Sgt. Ken!

Stay Healthy! Stay Crazie!
