Ohio State Newspaper Interview!

Today I was interviewed by the Ohio State newspaper to help out fitness model and soon to be author, Kari Hoyda. They are running an article on her (she lives local to the paper and went to Ohio State University) and wanted to interview me about her and also run a side interview on myself as well. I had a blast talking to Chris (the writer) over the phone and telling him about myself and Kari and how we both started in the industry, where we are now, and our goals for the future. I tip my hat to Kari as she is going to truly make a difference in the industry and help a lot of people. This is just the beginning for her and 2010 is going to be a huge year for both of us individually. So watch out!!!

Post Holiday recovery......

Well, the holiday is over (along with all the good food)... Time to get back on track (at least till the next holiday, hehe). I had some much needed rest and recovery time starting on Wednesday. Total of 5 days off from work feels real good right now and is allowing my brain to relax and go into sleep mode for at least a little bit before Monday rolls around again. Next time off will be Christmas which will be a HUGE vacation for me (11 days off). Spent a lot of time with family and friends which was nice considering my work travel schedule and training takes up majority of my days/weeks. Still have today and tomorrow off before I get back on the road and get back into my normal routine. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and ate a bunch of great food! Time to hit cardio hard again to make up for all those good meals! See you on the treadmill!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

There is much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving--good health, good friends, and amazing family. Seems throughout the year we lose sight of some of these things. It really is a shame that only today, on Thanksgiving, that we really sit down and think about everything good in our lives. For everyone reading this, and everyone who has followed me through this journey, I wish you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours. I thank you all for your support and your friendship. You all mean a lot to me and I appreciate every one of you. Have an amazing day and tell everyone who means anything to you, just how thankful you are to have them in your life. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Club Industry Chicago

Club Industry Chicago was a huge success this year at the MET-Rx booth. Tons of samples were given away and we got a lot of good contacts in the industry. We had a lot of cool people stop by the booth such as Whitney Reid (picture above, guy on the left), Larry Scott, and many more. Not to mention, Phil Heath was at the booth all week with us. Thank you for all who stopped by and said hello. If you have any further questions about the product lines please feel free to send me an email. Look forward to seeing you all again next year!!!

NEW Pure Protein Shake Flavor!!!!!! Peanut Butter Cup!!

I'm a huge Pure Protein shake fan. To me, when dieting there's nothing better. 35g of protein and only 4g of carbs in a creamy, delicious shake. It goes down nice and smooth and has the consistency of milk (not thick). The taste is amazing and the calories are under 200 which makes the shake great for not only those dieting, but for women looking for a protein shake without all the calories, fats, carbs, and sugars. If you haven't already seen this shake in coolers keep your eyes peeled for it and definitely give it a try. You WON'T be disappointed!!

Physique Magazine

I just wanted to let everyone know that starting December 2009, I will have my own column in Physique Magazine. The column will be named "Weik's World" and each month will cover a different topic. The November issue was kicked off with my interview with Obi Obadike and each issue will be slam-packed with great information to help you reach your health and fitness goals. Stay tuned each month!!!

*NEW* MET-Rx Big 100 Colossal Bar!!!

For those looking for a great bar to use to replace a meal, this bar will definitely fit in nicely. It has a great combination of a "sweet & salty" taste (hence the name). I highly recommend this bar to any retailer or consumer who is looking for a new, great tasting bar that you won't be able to put down until it's gone. Now excuse me while I go help myself to one... ;-)
