About Me

Hi! I’m Dave Gregory


This is my story...
While this blog is here to help others, I thought it might be good to share a little of my own story—how I got here and why I do what I do.

I Wasn’t Supposed to Make It to 50.
Not long ago, I was 300 pounds, drank heavily every night, chain-smoked, and avoided any type of exercise. My days were on repeat—work, drink, sleep, repeat. I had no goals, no energy, no real plan for my life. I was just… existing.
Then I hit my late 40s and had a moment of brutal clarity: I’m shocked I’m still alive. That thought scared me. But more than that—it woke me up.
I decided I wanted to actually live. I quit smoking. I swapped alcohol for exercise. I invested in a cheap, folding treadmill, and I managed to walk for a little over 2 minutes before getting winded. At first, it was tough. I couldn’t manage more than 2 minutes of normal walking, and I couldn’t even do a single pushup. Things started to change. Quickly. I didn’t tolerate exercise—I fell in love with it. I slowly increased my time on the treadmill, and now I do 60 minutes of walking every day. I started studying successful routines, testing different approaches, and building my life around movement, health, and energy.

Now, I start every morning with water, sunlight, and 30 minutes of fast walking on my treadmill while watching some educational videos that help with further progress in my life. I’ve built a nightly wind-down routine that guarantees me quality sleep—something I used to think was impossible. A good night's sleep is the foundation for everything.

I’m not perfect. I still have many struggles. But I’m proof that it’s never too late to change, and you don’t have to try and transform overnight. You just have to make the decision to actually start. And then actually start.
If I can go from being unable to do a single pushup to being my healthiest at 54, so can you. I’m confident that the information I share with you will work for you, too.

Make Saving Money Easy: Practical Budgeting Tips to Reach Your Goals

Have you ever tried saving money and found yourself slipping back down old habits? Well, you're not alone. Most people struggle with saving because they treat it as an extra task that requires planning, self-control, and willpower every time. Let's be honest: when life is already overwhelming with work, bills, family, and other responsibilities, 'extra' money rarely survives. However, there are smarter ways, like habit stacking. Instead of trying to squeeze saving money into your schedule, you do it with something that you already do every day. When you incorporate this into your current routine, it becomes more natural and effortless.   1. Habit Stacking And What It Is Habit stacking is a strategy used for building new habits by attaching them to existing habits. The idea is to create a cue for the new behavior by doing the old ones, making it easier to perform. It uses a trigger: Instead of relying on sheer willpower, you use a pre-existing habit as a source of a trig...

Why Your Sleep Deserves More Attention -   Most people treat sleep as an option-something to avoid when life gets busy. But the hours you spend asleep may be the most beneficial investment in your health and happiness.

If you ever felt like some days are just a drag or effortless to get anything done, the answer often begins with your sleep. Getting perfect sleep is about making small intentional choices that make rest deep and restorative.

And while you sleep, several key processes happen: Your brain washes away and locks in new memories into your long-term memory.

Master Your Mindset: Simply Daily Shifts To Build Resilience and Success

The Power of Perspective - Every day, two people will face the exact same situation and have the exact opposite experience. One person feels defeated, but the other sees this as an opportunity to overcome another challenge. The difference isn't skill or luck; it's perspective and experience. The way we choose to interpret setbacks, challenges, or problems becomes a filter that shapes us. That filter is called mindset. Mindset is more than just thinking positively; it's a mental framework that determines how you perceive life when things don't go as planned. The good news is that you're not stuck with the one you already have. By making small adjustments, you can build a mindset so strong you can see huge changes ripple through your life. How To Understand Your Mindset Think of the mindset of a scale as a scale, not a fixed category. On one end, you have a little voice that says, "This is just how I am, I cannot change." On the other end, it's saying, ...
