I have been reading so many articles and hearing a whole list of “don’t” and “should” and another helping of shame’ about body image that I find rather disturbing lately! Let me set the record straight as a fit pro: Healthy, fit, attractive bodies come in all shapes and sizes!! It really IS OKAY to exercise because it helps you fit into your jeans!

Not everyone does it for career networking or for the mental and metabolic and health benefits, though those are excellent reasons too! Find YOUR why and I’ll help you with HOW. What are YOUR goals? Fit feels awesome. It doesn’t always feel awesome to get into the gym and you won’t always want to. Knowing WHY you want to will help you get there on the days you don’t feel like it. I have a goals worksheet that can help you figure out your most person WHY, so you can keep with the program and we can even have a phone consult to help you flesh it out. Contact me.

Put your fruits inside, pour water in and refrigerate overnight. I’ve got raspberry lime water. Still technically zero calories but a lot more interesting. This one is made of plastic by Takeya but there are probably glass ones to be found elsewhere. One more tip- if you fill a personal drinking bottle with fruit-infused water, I find my bottle gets moldy faster because of the fructose.. So use a straw bottle brush right away. Don’t just rinse and refill or use a bottle that doesn’t have a straw for easier cleaning
