My Paleo Experience – by Doug Lee
I’m probably much like the average person in that my satisfaction with my level of fitness, body composition and eating habits “roller coasters” over time. In 2005, at my worst, I weighed 220 pounds.

Day 10, 11, 12.
Day 10 Day 11 Although I have been drinking mass quantities of water, close to 100 ounces a day, I still feel somewhat dehydrated.

Day 8,9 of 14!

How do we evolve as cops? Part deux
A small leap for law enforcement, a huge leap for man-kind. Several years ago I believed I had had enough of law enforcement. I went back to school and received a nutrition degree, was certified in massage and Reiki with the intention to pursue the healing arts. The universal joke was on me, as … Read more
What does your world look like? How do we get there?
