Organic gets Walmart
I know it’s almost taboo to enjoy Walmart. After all, they have nearly depleted the entire field of ‘Ma & Pa’ small business and general stores. But as of late I’ve become a fan of their cold grocer section.
Wishing YOU the best in 2011
Marshfield, MA
Miss Massachusetts 2011
With the last post we had the delightful opportunity to touch upon the very things we hold dearest, fatty foods and expanding jeans. Truly one the greatest pastimes in American post-microwaveable meals.
So why not compliment the previous post with one about the recent Miss Massachusetts pageant?
Makes about as much sense as slicing the other three tires on your car after you’ve popped one.
How could you have one without the other? While some girls are showing off magic tricks with turkey drumsticks and canned cranberry sauce others are meticulously watching every bite of baby food and nearly puking in the gym to present that unbelievable figure. GO TEAM SKINNIES!!!
I was fortunate enough to have one of my clients in the pageant this year. She recently came off a sash victory and her odds looked very good entering the 2011 Miss Mass.
She trained hard within the studio confines of Robert Belley Fitness. We even did supplemental workouts at a high school track and she trained on her own near nightly at another gym for her cardio and ab work. She was determined.
Not to mention liquid diets, abstinence from alcohol most weeks, no foolish carbs and lots of blueberries.
She did a great job and lost a number of pounds you would’ve been hard pressed to find on her before we started training. Her beauty was already world-class prior to our sessions: very fit and lean. But at this level, it takes a bit more to stand on stage among the best of the best Massachusetts has to offer.
The last Miss Mass to win Miss America was 2003. So it’s been a while since one has been the best of the best of the best in this great country.
But alas, she looked amazing in her red swimsuit, and elegant and gorgeous in her evening gown. Both were a smash with the audience and judges. She landed herself a position as a semi-finalist. Can you guess which one she is here?
So who brought the cool kid?
These girls were total smoke-shows!
Their bellies were amazing, not to mention their resumes. These girls were totally polished and accomplished. Before training my client, I had no idea how intelligent these girls were or how much they had accomplished in their careers so early: total blend of beauty and brains.
I can see why most girls hate these girls. They try a little harder than most others at career, appearance, community and self-improvement. Most people in general are not fans of those attributes.
They’d rather hope something falls into their laps and happens for them rather than making it happen and actually earning it.
Sad but true.
And with dieting and fitness, these girls are usually multifaceted athletes, with strict eating plans, and little sleep, balancing a career at the same time while training near 2 structured hours daily, and with holding from eating chips, cookies, pasta, anything from a box and consuming near only protein through powders, fresh meats and seafood.
It’s truly remarkable how much they handle for one night to impress.
And once that level is reached, they must work even harder to impress at the national level. And if that goes through, F%$#, the world level is insane!
But I’ll tell you, there’s something fascinating about watching very attractive women sweating, exhausting themselves, growling and near puking while still smiling and asking “What’s next?”
I love it and can’t wait to start the training regime for 2012!
So we can all learn something from this:
Sitting down = FAT
Eating MOST packaged foods =FAT
Not working intelligently and disciplined = FAT
Unstructured/non-goal oriented training = FAT
Not being athletically minded = FAT
Oversleeping = FAT
On the other hand:
Applying oneself = HOTT
Time management = HOTT
Being Active ALL DAY = HOTT
Training with PURPOSE = HOTT
Eating only what you NEED = HOTT
Dead lifting more than yourself = HOTT
Being a selfless and great person = HOTT
Trying to be better than someone = HOTT
Focusing on the athletic task at hand = HOTT
Accepting pain IS normal to the process = HOTT
Bringing awareness to help less fortunate = HOTT
Being quietly confident and assured of self = HOTT
Not complaining about your self-created-life =HOTT
Being lovely, elegant, assertive, emphatic, driven = HOTT
Training like a badass, laughing at imposed challenges = HOTT
Motivating people to be better versions of themselves = HOTT
Having the means to make others self-reflect without a word = HOTT
Live the dream,

Holy F$#% Where Did That Come From?!
Holy F$#% Where Did That Come From?!
Its second set of hips season again 😉
As you all know, Holidays actually spells Crisco… for technical term, reference Belley’s Dictionary:
Ho-li-days adv
Definition of HOLIDAYS
: the seasonal period between the gobble gobble gee and the fat bearded man who chimney sweeps and races deer : often times encompassing the famed days of absurdly pathological drinking and collegiate level bowl hangover viewing
“OMG, Becky. Look at her butt. It is so big. She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends… They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute, ok. I mean her butt. It’s just so big. I can’t believe it’s just so round. It’s just so out there. I mean, GROSS.”
circa B.C. “Does thie brontosaurus burger make me look fat?”
Do you want to be the obsessively stared at second butt to Becky and her BFF?
I’d think not.
Don't be too tight spandex girl at the Burger King
So let’s avoid the unofficially knighted Sir Mix-A-Lot’s theory and suggestion to “Playin workout tapes by Fonda. But Fonda ain’t got a motor in the back of her Honda” because he clearly did not foresee high fructose corn syrup and McDonald’s terrorizing weaker Americans fat cells.
But I guess when you’re knighted by 23 with no University or England affiliation and your entire catalog is about bums what can you ask for?
This Has To Be a Fake. His head is ginormous
And none the less, he’ll never overtake the King and his Burger Sponge Bob promo. Mix-a-Lot changed his lyrics just for the king… although kind of perverse to lure young children for toys into the burger lair.
This guy will tell ya something about fat booties
I heart America J
Next post, I’ll tell you all about the real rigors of becoming Miss Massachusetts 😉 Little did I know being over the age of 25 and being a man constitutes no-entry to the event… formalities.
Live the dream square pant obesity protesting friends,

Cape Cod Marathon on Halloween
Did you hear?
About 2,000 psycho’s (including myself) will be running the 33rd annual Cape Cod Marathon on Sunday, October 31st, 2010 takingplace in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
Granted it’s no local celebrity Katharine Lee Bates “America The Beautiful” but will be triumphant at best.
The average marathoner will stride about 42,000 steps or repetitions. Imagine 42,000 reps of anything??? The average person takes roughly 20,000 breaths in a day!
This guy may have taken a few more during the race:
Please Bring This Guy a PopTart!!!
Of course, if I was chasing after this supposed marathoner I’d probably look like him too.
Catch It, Have It 😉 Supposed Infatuation Marathon Junkie
I will be celebrating bib number 456. So if you’re moseying around Wood’s Hole Sunday morning and see a Caucasian male, 5’8″, 165 pounds, bib #456, iPod sleeved, white t-shirt bleeding from his eyes and ears that would be me. Please bring me a PopTart. None of those new milkshake flavors either, straight up, Strawberry Frosted, sprinkles atop or Brown Sugar Cinnamon, full fat edition! Only the classics for this kid whiz!
If you get a chance none-the-less, with or without PopTart, you can still swing down to Main Street in Falmouth about 8 a.m. to catch the 8:30 a.m. start.
Bring a friend. Bring a camera. Bring a PopTart and make a new friend 😉
Live the dream my PopTart-toting ally,

You’l be soooooooooooooo happy you did!
Inception of Fitness
- Hi I Like Push-Ups
My name tag is the brilliance and sweat of a small town American housewife’s (“Maryellen”, played by Penelope Cruz) struggle to teach her child the fundamental blocks of appropriate spelling. It’s a heart-warming story given two thumbs up by my kindergarten teacher Mrs. McIntosh – formerly of the Central Elementary School – in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
If you’re looking for the theatrical release it’s still in pre-production. My character is fleshed to life by Edward Norton; American History X physique with Fight Club mental edge. As soon as it becomes available in RedBox’s I’ll let you know.
Of course this isn’t true. I’d probably be played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse “McLovin” character. As you can tell from this video clip the boy is starving for work.
So from time to time, possibly bi-weekly (who isn’t these days), I’ll be providing you with fitness inceptions and insights.
Maybe you’ll discover a cool adventure race in the greater Boston area you’d like to test yourself within.
Perhaps foods that will help improve your performance: take that any way you wish.
Or maybe you’ll discover something to chuckle and break up your day’s stress.
This is hopefully as much informative as accessible. And if it’s not fun, it may not be worth reading. But that’s for you to decide.
So I hope you enjoy this blog ________. And until I learn your name it’s staying blank.
Live the dream.

It’s the most amount of fun you can have while you’re glutes ache
Butternut Squash Penne
This isn’t as trivial or cool as it may sound, but I think it tastes great.
Plus its super healthy!
Cook whole-grain or organic penne to directions.. I cook about half a box.
Prepare and cook, either one half of a medium butternut squash, or one bag frozen.
Once the butternut squash is near finish mix in about 1/2 – 1 cup of whole organic oats.
Place the penne in a large bowl, mix in 2-3 tablespoons of organic butter.
Then top with squash and oat mix.
Season with fresh cracked pepper, sea salt.
Enjoy.
Very simple, high in fiber, high in complex carbs.
And it’s super filling.

I am a Proud Marshfield Personal Trainer & Marshfield Fitness Studio Owner
Today was a day that offered one of the happiest moments in my professional fitness training journey.
After having the opportunity to check out the Marshfield Police Station’s cool workout garage, I returned back to the studio and as I arrived, outside 4 of my favorite youth athletes, Cassidy, Emily, Jayna and Kathryn were running around playing games outside, and inside 3 of my favorite girls, Patti, Joanne and Karen were training hard!
Like killer hard!
They were doing Barbell suspended squats, sprinting stairs, flipping tires, hitting the ab wheel just plain out rocking it!
And I Love It
I know all of our sessions, conversations, socials and sharing have led us to this incredible, comfortable environment at the studio. When I walk into my own studio, and see my girls there, training and improving their lives, I know I’m home.
That’s an amazing feeling.
I’m not sure how many Marshfield fitness clubs or weight loss centers can say that about there members, but my core girls make me so happy and proud to be a fitness trainer in Marshfield.
Just to be able to joke, be friends, and be involved, to some degree, within their life is absolutely fantastic. I wouldn’t want my life any other way as a professional.
I’m a proud Marshfield Personal Trainer, Fitness Professional, Weight Loss Teacher and business man.
Thank you to ALL of my Marshfield training family,
You solidify why I am who I am in this arena.
